Summer fashion trends include over-the-top styles
CHICAGO (WLS) -- We're still a few weeks away from summer but you might have already noticed some summer fashion trends already on the streets.
From billowy bell sleeves to ruffled tiered skirts and raw hem denim, this season's trends can be a little a little tricky. Anna De Souza, eBay Style Contributor breaks down the trends and translates them for real life.
TREND: Statement Sleeves and Shoulders
From flounced bell sleeves to smocked, tiered cuffs and artful off-the-shoulder tops - this season it's all about this voluminous, statement style. Pair this artsy, architectural piece so it reads street style cool with skinny jeans and embroidered pumps - another big trend of the season.

TREND: Ruffled Skirts
Forget those scratchy tulle prom dresses, ruffles got a high fashion makeover and now mixes high-low hemlines with purposeful geometric silhouettes - and guess what, it's super wearable for summer. Mix with a loose cami and sleek pumps to elevate the look. We saw it on the Michael Kors, Mulberry and Rodarte runways.
