This summer’s looks embrace a vibrant fusion of retro aesthetics.

Breathable fabrics like linen offer cool comfort, while an emphasis on sustainable materials soothes the conscience. Bold, eye-catching patterns—reminiscent of the ’60s and ’70s—add a playful twist to classic silhouettes. Accessory trends lean towards oversized sunglasses, statement earrings and colorful sandals. Head to the beach, the pool or a backyard barbecue in vivid, living colors!
