10 not-so-obvious hot fashion trends you almost missed this summer

Summer is at its peak and we have seen floral, denim, metallic textures, graphic play, monotones leading this season.

Here are some other interesting trends across runways and streets you should be wearing right now.

1. Back to front dressing: The easy shirt is going for an overturn. Eccentric dressing isn't only about donning excess add-ons. It's also about confusing the regular and experimenting with what's already there to stand out and make a difference.

It looks great both front and back, be it a fitted high collar or an oversized crisp and casual shirt. Some are going off-shoulder with it, while some are buttoning it on the top, flaunting the back cleavage. Any which way, it's a stunner.

2. Long shorts: Shorts leave the casual realm and enter the semi-formal bracket this season with length. You have so many options like the skater long shorts, ripped walking shorts, denim skater shorts, longer line denim shorts and the khaki as well.

Pair it with a neat crop top, a regular shirt or a summer jacket. The choice is cool and comfortable for a day-to-night look.

3. Return of the choker: This gorgeous 90's trend comes back with all its charm and regality. It's powerful, romantic and a complete change maker to your outfit.

The accessory stole hearts at the New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 16-17. Be it velvet, cloth, metal or clubbed chains with motifs and chunky pendants, this accessory is the perfect combination of metal and fabric.

4. Sleepwear goes street: It's believable. You can sport the pyjamas outside. Pyjamas all day is the new style inspiration for the ready-to-wear bracket.

Bring sleepwear out of the bedroom and fashion goes forward with comfortable. Interesting Japanese motifs, the lustrous flowing silks, the pastels, this trend is one fulfilled dream for the summer.

5. Sheer up: The elegant transparency, the intriguing suggestive details, light textures - it's all about summer romance and the art of imagination.

Be it knee-length dresses, tops, capes with sequins and laces or layered separates, "less is more" is truer than ever.

6. The cool bag strap: You might not notice it but a bag strap is as important as the bag itself. It can really make or break your look.

Go for those beautiful braided, embroidered and minimal patterns or try making the straps stand out with those saved old badges collected from here and there.

7. 3D embroidery: Designers are in love with the three-dimensional touch to a design on a raised surface. Be it apparels or accessories, this technique is making a lot of difference in the design world.

It's as real as it gets. The existing textures get some fresh air.

8. The chain bra: It doesn't function like a normal bra but it's constructed on the same lines.

The outline pattern has clubbed with an off shoulder top, a sheer dress or a body suit. It is also the perfect bikini necklace this season.

9. Red and blue: These bold tones are doing wonders together right now. Be it formal, sportswear or going retro, hot red and cool blue combination is totally worth it.

Go minimal or maximal with it. Prints and patterns also work well in this colour code.

10. Miniskirts: The miniskirt was more of a tool against the regressive ideas around female sexuality than just being a fashion statement during the '70s feminist wave.

It's not negative, it's edgy. Fitted or flowy, it's back. Symbolic and powerful as ever.
