Today’s trend fixations: color contrasts and veiled fabrics.

Summer is all about keeping things light, but sometimes we need to shelf our inner flower child and change things up a bit. We really love to play around with color and texture in our wardrobes at any time of the year, but the warm weather definitely makes it easier to throw in bright contrasts or airy layers. Here are a few looks to get you inspired –whether you’re going for a bold color block, or something with a feather-light overlay:
