Bold colors and opulent prints from Spring/Summer 2024 will elevate your mood...and attract attention, maybe both.

As the weather gets warmer and vacation countdowns get smaller and smaller and smaller as we near Memorial Day—the true start of summer—the urge to live in bold color builds. This season's best looks offer exciting colors including lime green, soft peach, electric orange, blood red, and royal blue, but also doesn't abandon the reliable classics: black is a color fit for every season, despite the sun. Metallics, geometric shapes, and patterns also define this season's style all in easy, breezy streamlined silhouettes that leave somebreathing room for hot summer days (and nights). 

This spring and summer season, designers are breaking the wheel when it comes to fabrics and textures. Leather for hot weather? Yes, please. A structural leather mini skirt becomes breathable in the heat when paired with a relaxed silk button down, and the stripes give it a nautical feel: the kind of look the kind of person who always wears black could wear on a sailboat in the Cape.
Surprising color combos also define the season. A romantic, flowing Prada dress with a sheer overlay one might expect to be worn with a sandal is instead styled with a bright orange pointed-toe mule: a sartorial personification of a summer sunset on the beach. Decades later, Versace continues to be both playful and sexy at the same time. A lime green mini dress, placed against a hot pink background provides a modern spin on 1960s mod dressing with its silver squares that form a geometric pattern fit for the likes of Twiggy
Fashion has always been about expressing individuality and personality through beauty and art. But in the social media age when it's so easy for everyone and everything to be the same by following the same trends, this season's expressive pieces across all houses have one message: express yourself.
