Music Festival

A pair of statement round sunnies show that you know your style stuff.

Pool Party
Washed-out coral and mint are the hot colors for summer and will earn you major style points at your next pool party.

Everyone needs a pair of flip-flops, and white will continue spring’s white pump trend while giving your feet a break. You’ll even be on-trend in the deep end wearing a colorblocked bikini–don’t forget to protect yourself from the rays with a floppy, vintage-inspired sun hat.
