Harem, dhoti, slouchy: No matter what you call them, loose-fitting pants are the pair to have for the warm months ahead. Team with a vest, as shown at Isabel Marant. The fashion-forward look works for a night out (dress them up with heels) or a day around town (flats and a jean jacket tank or a soft jacket).
White BlazerTake a dramatic approach to outerwear with an all-white blazer. Whether you prefer a structured variation or a looser cut, this time-honored staple is a summer winner. (As seen at Hermès.)
Stella mccartney - Printed DressBe it a beautiful bouquet of florals or a digitized ikat, a pattern is this summer's top option for rocking a feminine frock. If you like the maxi version, Stella McCartney is your go-to girl. If you prefer a more mini cut, everyone from Louis Vuitton to Peter Pilotto sent this sexy silhouette down the runway. For a complete look, throw on an abbreviated leather jacket, a long, thin cardigan (belted, of course), or a menswear-influenced tuxedo jacket.
The Army-Green JacketThe military-inspired topper is officially reporting for duty. Get in on the action with a worn-in anorak. Alexa Chung saluted the style by wearing a Louis Vuitton patch-pocket jacket with tights. She isn't alone in supporting the relaxed staple. Balmain's Christophe Decarnin and Rag & Bone's David Neville and Marcus Wainwright paired shirts and jackets with shorts and skirts for the runway (shown here). For a more everyday look, the perennial fave can also be thrown over a flirty dress or worn with a harem pant.
PastelsFrancisco Costa's all-the-colors-of-the-rainbow palette comes to life in his lightweight summer dresses at Calvin Klein. Bubble-gum pink, acid yellow, ice blue, and aquamarine are some of the chicest colors of the season, and metallic accessories add the perfect finishing touch.
