The Best Shades to Include in Your Summer Wardrobe Palette

Summer officially begins tomorrow, June 20. In other words, it's time to replace your pastel spring clothing with vibrant fashion for the new season.

If you're still working on your summer wardrobe but need some help, continue reading to discover six chic shades to include in your closet.

Teal

Rather than deep or soft tones, we like to make a statement during summer. No navy blues. No light pinks. Teal, on the other hand, adds the ultimate pop of color. Plus, it totally matches the crystal clear waters you will be swimming in during your resort vacation.

 

Yellow

The sun is shining, and we'd like to match. No color will help you achieve the bronzed look like yellow. Clothes in this hue will look especially ravishing if you have warm, tanned skin. Pair it with gold jewelry to take it to the next level.

Besides, think about all the other summer things that are yellow, like pineapples and lemons.

Neon Pink

Nothing says bold like neon. While any neon shade works, we have to highlight pink. There's something about this color that looks great on every complexion, but especially deeper ones. Oh, and if you need inspiration for your next manicure, don't be afraid to try this hue.

 

Peach

If you'd like something flattering that isn't extremely bright, don't be afraid of peach. Its warm undertones suit the sunny, warm weather. Because it isn't super loud, it's also a great transition color from spring to summer. You'll look so cute, you might even get mistaken for a juicy peach.

 

Baby Blue

Forget what we said earlier—kind of. The only pastel we include in our summer wardrobe is baby blue. It's because it's the color of the "coastal" aesthetic. Unsurprisingly, it matches the beautiful shade of the clear skies. It also pairs perfectly with both gold and silver jewelry, and lots of bling is a must for the season.

 

White

White radiates the brightest during the summer, probably because it makes a tan pop even more. The best thing about white is how versatile it is. It works combined with any of the aforementioned shades, but you can also wear a white-on-white fit. You truly can't go wrong—just don't spill any sauce on it.
