A BOLD TOUCH: Inspired by Salvatore Ferragamo

When it comes to looking dapper less is often more, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take a fashion risk by infusing your ensemble with a bold pop of color. Inspired by Salvatore Ferragamo’s modern and citrus fresh spring presentation, we suggest you hire some cool hues for your wardrobe by rocking bold colors in your accessories. Think colorful cravats and killer kicks in island brights.

COOL CHICK : Inspired by Phillip Lim

Fashion’s most stylish ladies are trendy risk-takers who often opt to wear the unexpected. Phillip Lim’s recipe for spring 2013 called for one part high-fashion and all parts cool-chick. Juxtapose your lady-like essentials (i.e. that classic blazer or feminine pencil skirt) with a grungy band-tee and some rad essentials like patent leather, heavy metals and loads of mascara.

IT’S ALL ABOUT STRIPES : Inspired by Dolce & Gabbana

Whether you’re a buttoned-up sophisticate or a laid-back lad, implementing stripes into your summer wardrobe is a great way to make a statement. An easy-to-wear print, stripes are an effortless staple that can be styled in a myriad of ways. Dolce & Gabbana took the look to the shores of Sicily by pairing the print with casual cool basics. Get the look by rocking your stripes with summer staples such as a straw fedora, chilled-out chino shorts, sleek sunnies and some stylish boat shoes.

BLACK, WHITE & CHIC ALL OVER: Inspired by Marc Jacobs

Black and white is irrefutably this season’s fiercest trend. A simple formula of nature’s two most basic hues, designer’s like Marc Jacobs went ultra “mod” with this chic color palette reminding us fashion lovers that the classics are always the best. Dare to wear the trend by styling it up in stripes, checks or solids and don’t be afraid to get funky with accessorizing and print pairing, because who doesn’t appreciate a little pattern on pattern action?
