60s Natural Neutrals

Khaki, nude, copper tone, natural, nude and olive are way on trend this summer. Pair them with neon or metallics and a swinging 60s silhouette and sheer materials for a super modern look. Featuring a neutral linen, this outfit is another example of a must-wear colour this summer.

Oriental Neon

Not since the 80s have we seen this much neon. Don’t worry, you don’t have to wear mall bangs and shoulder pads too–this neon trend is tasteful. Pair with pastels and oriental cuts for a modern and fresh take.

Sorbet Pastels

You will find plenty of colours that seem more like what you would see in the sweet or ice-cream shop. Choose from nectarine orange, cotton candy, African violet and greyed jade.
