HOW TO BE: Three Kinds Of Mermaids

If you grew up wishing your hair was red and flippy like Ariel, then I’m going to go ahead and assume that you’ve been generalizing mermaids as fun and fabulous for the past two decades of your life. As of late, a handful of designers have been paying their homages to what we’d assume to be “The Little Mermaid” reincarnation of awesomeness. I know the majority of you wake up in the morning feeling particularly whimsical and mermaid-like but are unsure about how to approach your mystical inhibitions. But worry no more, because dressing like Ariel just got a little easier. Here are some under-the-sea-worthy looks that will help you transition from looking like people to looking like mermaids, put together for your outfitting convenience! In subtle and unsubtle ways! Yeah!
