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.

Cold- to Warm-Weather Leather

Imaxtree(2)
Closed-toe boots and button-up leather jackets may be too hot for the dog days of summer, but shorts and shells are not off-limits. Lighter colors and relaxed shapes guarantee that you'll look as seasonal as Salvatore Ferragamo's models.
