What says "summer" more than a garden of colorful flowers? Trade in your favorite dark winter print for neons and pastels, like Erdem did between seasons.

Sweaters for summer? Yes! Pile on the layers like Helmut Lang with lightweight pieces that will get you through those occasionally brisk August nights.
