With the sizzling summer days quickly approaching, it’s time to scope out the season's hottest -- or rather -- coolest options. Here are a few great picks to help you stay stylish all season long.
To the Floor
The 'it' dress for this summer is the floor-length Maxi dress. It’s cool, comfortable, works in solids or prints, belted or not-belted. Throw on a pair of chic flats or flip-flops for the beach or running errands. It’s also super easy to pack for summer trips.
A Long Summer's Night
A great lightweight cardigan is a must-have for breezier nights or the chilly air-conditioned office. Longer lengths were seen all over the runways this year. A solid jewel tone 'cardi' over a colorful graphic tee is truly layering at its best, or throw one on over your favorite summer dress for a sophisticated look.
Nice + Nautical
Try navy and white combos for a clean, classic summer look. Think bold striped tops or a crisp white shirt with navy shorts. Top your look off with a great colorful tote, and head straight to that beach party!
Wrapped Around
Ankle-strap flats are essential for these warmer months. Even heels with ankle-straps are in this season. They really work with anything from pants to skirts to shorts. Try metallic or embossed leather finishes to make a statement, just make sure you've gotten your pedicure!
