Say goodbye to your neons because this year summer is all about toning down your color palette and slipping into something a little more effortless.

Subtle hues and crisp simple whites are perfect for that soft summer edge. White crochet and lace dresses that are antique-inspired yet romantic, leave just enough to the imagination. Subtle flowing skirts and sheer maxi dresses are free-spirited and classic.

Jumpsuits with waist-cinching belts paired with chunky heels make a comeback for the second season. Wide trousers with wide-rimmed glasses reflect timeless, 1970’s relaxed sophistication. Trousers are sharp and tailored with a mid to high waist. However, be weary of the skinny leg trousers that widen from the knee due to the large reminiscence of the 90’s bell bottoms. Palazzo pants, the luxe alternative to the wide-leg pant style are light and made with flowing silks and jersey. The Palazzo pant style was seen on the Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2011 Runway. This elegant style is best worn at resorts and on yachts.
