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.

TRENDING: Sheer Shifts
Sheer and mesh romantic shifts can be tricky to wear. Take this daring look from night to daytime appropriate. This 90s-inspired trend can extend through several seasons by pairing it with jeans! Look for slim-fit denim without many belt loops, pockets and sans pleats - so there aren't any lumps and bumps.
