Scallops, Scallops Everywhere!

Want a dainty, feminine trend for this season? Well, it has officially arrived! Scallop prints are everywhere. This sea-inspired fashion is just darling on any item. The wavy ruffles have made their way onto clothing, accessories and even beauty trends. Here are some of the most popular ways to get scalloped.

Scallop dresses will make you feel like a real life mermaid! The subtle waving pattern on dresses is the most daring way to show off your scallops. White is a popular color for these dresses. The crazy cut is understated by the pale shades of white, gold or nude. Dresses can either have embellished waves in one spot, like the top or bottom only, or they can have scallops all throughout the design. The full scallop is vaguely reminiscent of the 20's flapper style with their short, tasseled frocks.

Scallops can be dressed up or down for any event. Black and darker colors lend themselves to more formal occasions. Although scalloped items are fun and flirty, with a darker edge, this design can easily translate into an evening look. Bright hues and mixed colors are also quite trendy for the nature inspired wave. Pinks, blues and other flattering tones will appear this fall in scalloped form.


Scallops can go with plenty of styles and even different fabrics for a variety of looks! A scalloped cardigan is a feminine bow is a very respectable way to rock the style and impress your boyfriend's parents. Looser blouses look great for a day at work or a day on the town. Extra embellishment works on this trend too, so go wild!

The top appears average from the front until you wow a crowd with your opened, scalloped back! This is a very flirtatious look perfect for the day-to-night transition.

Paired with a belt or statement buttons, this look is fun yet very refined. Print shorts are adorable in a scallop style.
