Dark Florals to Bright Buds

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.

Oxblood to Flame

Like oxblood before it, flame is having a moment in a big way. This fiery hue spiced up Roksanda Ilincic's runway, and would do the same for your closet.

Cold- to Warm-Weather Leather

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.
