Stacy London Says Hollywood Fashion Secrets Are a Summer Must

Style icon Stacy London says summertime trends featuring thin and sheer fabrics and skin-baring looks like crop tops, tanks, racer-backs and deep necklines call for convenient and smart Style Essentials like Hollywood Fashion Tape, Silicone CoverUps (reusable nipple concealers) and Bra Converting Clips to help women dress with confidence and look perfectly put together for the season.

London is the Brand Ambassadress for Hollywood Fashion Secrets (HFS), the brand that brought the world the Original Fashion Tape and created Style Essentials, a collection of genius products that help women expertly lift, hide, secure, tuck, tighten and hem. A pioneer of fashion reality TV and now the host of the new show Love, Lust or Run airing on TLC, London shares top summer trends and "Style Hacks" secrets, tips and tricks to pulling them off with perfection and ease because, after all, women want access to products that make their life easier and better!

Sleeveless - summertime and sleeveless looks go hand-in-hand. From tanks and crop tops to racer-back styles, nothing ruins a look more than exposed or slipping bra straps. Use the Bra Converting Clip to transform a traditional bra into a racer-back in an instant to hide peek-a-boo straps. Added bonus, it gives the girls a lift!

Short Kimono - this lightweight, boho-inspired garment is the perfect swimsuit cover-up or light-weight layer over just about anything from sun dresses to jean shorts and tanks. You can find the Kimono at a range of retailers for as little as $20, even less. It's a fun trendy garment not only for its unstructured billowy silhouette, but because it comes with details like fringe, mesh and lace treatments, fun pops of colors and prints like leopard, paisley and floral. Wear it to the bonfire beach party!

Lace - this intricate pattern spun from cotton, linen or silk is giving texture to lots of summer apparel. It can be seen as trim on tanks and accents on shorts to full-on laced-up dresses. The look is spectacularly fresh and summery. When wearing lace on top, use Silicone CoverUps, reusable nipple concealers, to de-perkify and deliver a smooth finish, with or without a bra.

Fringe - it's on everything this season from handbags and sandals to swimsuits, jackets, cardigans and tops. Don't overload! Wear the fringe trend on only one piece. Trying it out on accessories like shoes or handbags is always a safe bet. Toss the Stylette into that fabulous fringe bag. This kit features 10 Style Essentials so you are set for any wardrobe malfunction or fashion faux pas you might encounter.

Pant Legs - while for many skinny is still in, high-waisted, wide and flowing pant legs of Palazzo pants or their shorter version, culottes, are a huge trend for summertime styling. The fabrics and design are airy, perfect for the heat of summer. Always pair these wider-legged pants with a more fitted top to balance the look. Pairing black bottoms with a white top (or vice versa) is always a classic too.

Footwear - the cool new thing in shoe trends are flatforms with their signature built-up thick sole that delivers "wearable elevation." Flatforms come with lots of fun upper designs from sandals like t-straps and strappy up-to-the-knee gladiator looks to nylon sneakers and canvas and fabric oxford designs. Wear them with everything from dresses to shorts. Keep gladiator straps in place with Hollywood Fashion Tape.
