I don't know where you're livin' it up, but over here in San Francisco it's not quite summer fling weather. The sun is starting to more steadily make an appearance, but let's face it -- it's not quite time to break out the sundresses and sandals. The solution? Printed leggings! The thin material allows for more breathability than your jeans or stuffy slacks, plus they let you rock your more summery dresses over them with just a tad bit more season-appropriate coverage. But what print is your sign destined to rock this week? Even if you'd normally say "no way" to wild graphic prints made popular by Michael Angel, we're convinced that if you let the stars be your guide, Stylehive's Stylescopes will direct you in the right path to some seriously chic legwear! Check the slideshow for your sign's perfect print!

Cowl Back Tops Put A New Twist On The Lowcut Neckline!

Talk about bringin' sexy back! Cowl back tops push the limits of how low you can go with your neckline without the danger of looking unsophisticated or the risk of... well, popping out (yikes). While similar to the season's popular cut-out trends, cowl styles have a little softer, effortlessly elegant vibe going on, as if the top just naturally draped on its own to conveniently show off your best new summer asset! They add an extra breezy femininity to your casual summer tanks, and can totally dress up an otherwise boring tee. Of course, there is a catch -- a low-cut back introduces the obstacle of pesky visible bra straps -- but it's easily solved! Look into a convertible bra specifically for backless tops for the illusion that nothing's there at all, or add interest with purposely visible straps for a pop of color... as long as you're able to rock it like you intended for them to show rather than looking like an unfortunate fashion oversight!
