Types of Shrugs and What is Trending This Season

A woman’s jacket that is worn over an outfit is known as a shrug. It enhances the beauty of the dress and if correctly matched takes the overall looks up an extra notch or two. If you want to buy a shrug, there are many options - long shrugs, short ones, with long sleeves and sleeveless, and those meant for the different seasons, formal occasions and casual outings. 

What then should you flaunt this summer? Choose a fabric that is breathable and light and avoid heavy knitted fabrics and velvet. Sleeveless shrugs for women are best in this searing heat. For day outings, choose prints and colors in floral design as well as pastels and vibrant colors while darker colors should be kept for after-sunset events.

Here is a snapshot of the shrugs for women trending this summer.


• Any shrug that goes beyond your waist till your knees, ankle or hips is a long shrug. It goes well with long jeans or shorts for a breezy day look.

•A cropped shrug is a mini version of long shrugs for women and stops at the waist or even smaller. Looks very cute and stylish.

•A fringe shrug is one that has numerous threads hanging from the edges. These are generally in long shrugs and have a totally retro look. Maybe be worn with shorts or jeans.

•Lacy shrugs have beautiful threads woven into the fabric in various styles such as floral or leafy patterns. Match this with a tank top and shorts outfit.

Shrugs for women are the latest in style and trends. Go for it!
