Summer is the time to experiment with color. It’s usually bright and sunny out so it’s easy to dress similarly. {Also bright colors can make you look tanner than you really are} I prefer to anchor more intense/vivid colors with neutrals, like grays and whites, for a little more balance, and also so I don’t look like I walked off the Jersey Shore.
