Pop-up events are not advisable in these times but in the interim, we can still plan for our limited interactions, intimate gatherings and fabulous staycations. Here are seven JAVA style trends you can expect to see around Trinidad and Tobago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Loungewear<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\nImma wait to hear a better duo than loungewear and you! This may be one trend that I believe no woman would ever protest. With such a stylish range to choose from–slip dresses, robes, kimonos\/cover-ups and pajama sets–loungewear has been the uniform for the last few months for all those Zoom meetings and parties and there\u2019s no secret as to why. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B_znW_FBmXI\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\nComfort and practicality are exactly what makes this trend a winner in everyone\u2019s books. With some local names releasing some adorable sets like Charu Lochan Dass and her CLD brand<\/a><\/strong> nailing it with this style. Go get it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prints<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nI love a great print! African prints are still going strong and with Emancipation Day rolling around soon I anticipate everyone will be searching to secure a piece in this vibrant fabric. There\u2019s the print on print option as well as matching prints (yes, full-on citizen of \u201cPrintville\u201d) you really can\u2019t go wrong. Just try to keep within similar colour schemes to avoid looking like a complete misfit. Or if you prefer to ease into it, opt for a romper like this one from LOUD by Afiya<\/a><\/em><\/strong> seen here and pair it with some funky statement accessories, like a cat-eye pair of sunnies from Sanianitos<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\")

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\nWith busy prints, keep the accompaniments subdued so as not to compete. LOUD by Afiya<\/a><\/em><\/strong> also has some drool-worthy skirts like this teal and fuchsia with frill detail. Seen here providing cover up to a cut-out monokini also by LOUD in the colour to watch. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSkirt: LOUD by Afiya<\/a> skirt with Sanianitos<\/a> clear acrylic earrings

Core Hues <\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBlack, white and neutrals: really, do these ever go out of style? I guess that\u2019s why these are the foundation blocks upon which our wardrobe should stand on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\nPerfect for beating the heat and attracting nothing but light and goodness just like this timeless deep V-swing dress from Meiling<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. Try to look for cute details on classic pieces that draw the eye. Chant this like a Road March: details make the difference.

Details<\/em><\/strong> <\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSpeaking of details and sticking with the designer known for just that, it would be remiss of me not to mention this style that combines the core neutrals with one of the top patterns of the season \u2013 houndstooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
