Summer Was

Scene: Trends that defined this summer’s wear — pairing soft pastels with vivid brights. Orange was a highlight; purple, yellow, red, and hints of pink were in the mix. I saw a lot of high intensity green, and blue was everywhere in every shade. Whether in all black, or broken up by contrasting whites, black is here to stay. Mirrored lenses, iridescence, perforated lace patterns, the fit and flare dress, the double breasted jacket on men, and neon trainers (sneakers). Floral prints were a true winner, tropical prints, polka dots, stripes, with new interpretations of camo. Athletic wear from the gym to the street to the runway in hi-tech fabrics and sports mesh.
