Cute As A Button (Literally!): The Tortoiseshell Button Trend

If you're into micro trends, this is the one for you to try this summer. Buttons, other than being functional, have been upgraded to being totally fashionable this season. No matter how small they may be, I guarantee you'll be seeing tortoiseshell buttons on everyone's #ootd. They have proliferated in our favourite high street shops and made more affordable items look polished, sophisticated and a lot more expensive than they actually are. Previously seen mainly on glasses frames, these have flourished in many new-in pieces and one might even say, they have come to take over the number one trend spot from frills detailing!

I'm a massive fan of the trend, as you can tell, and with this in mind, I thought of this outfit. Good ol' Primark has many pieces adorned with these mottled acrylic buttons and when I saw this crop I knew I had to have it, despite not being a massive fan of crop tops (or so I previously thought). I particularly like how versatile this little number has already proven to be as I can dress it up or down. I will be taking it with me on holiday to be worn at night with a high-waisted midi skirt for a more dressy look, and in this outfit, I paired it with these amazing floral palazzo pants from H&M and my trusty Stan Smiths.
