How to wear the colors:

Wear a gorgeous bikini in delicious coral red; a beautiful dark navy blue sun dress when taking a stroll in the park; and beige khaki pants with a white tunic top during a casual night out with your closest friends.

Create a fashion statement with some of the bright colors like coral red, lemon yellow, blue or vibrant green. For a trendy look, add bold accessories like thick bangles, layered necklace and platform sandals. Or if you prefer a classier and feminine outfit, wear the softer colors along with your jewelry staples like pearls.

Note: Have mind that some of the colors don't suit your skintone. But what matters most is what you place near your face. Click here to take a color analysis to find your best colors!

How to wear it:

Day time: Tuck in a puffed sleeved feminine blouse with high waist dress pants, or a basic white tank tee with a denim high waist skirt.

Evening time: Show off your lovely back tan with an open-back dress or top. Add a cropped blazer with padded shoulders for chilly evening nights.

Prints to Wear for Summer 2009

In this season you'll find swim wear, sun dresses, tops like kaftans and tunic in exotic prints like tribal ethnic (Ikat), and classics like florals, polka dots and colorful and navy (blue and white) stripes.

How to wear prints:

Wear prints moderately; either as a dress or top and balance it out with staple accessories like silver chain bracelet and black gladiator sandals.

Or use a plain tee or dress as a blank canvas and decorate it with a leopard print scarf, print clutch purse or ethnic jewelry.
