Go playful in pastels

Take inspiration from juicy summertime sweets with a candy-colored ensemble. A pink gingham romper is already delectable on its own, but throw in a mint bomber jacket and colorful accessories — like pom-pom sandals, a beaded clutch, and tassel earrings — and you've got a finished outfit that's bursting with flavor.

Go retro in lush hues

Deep greens and rich blues instantly bring to mind tropical island vibes. Incorporated in a matching palazzo-pant-and-cropped-shirt set, it's a stylish nod to '70s Havana. Tone down the bold pairing with subtle red accents that play into the floral print to nail a sophisticated look fit for a vacation — even if you're not going anywhere.

Go eclectic in psychedelic colors

Tap into that anything-goes attitude and rock a kaleidoscope of saturated hues for a carefree combination. The trick to making the colors look harmonious is to break them up with denim — like a pair of cutoff shorts — and solid black elements, as seen on both the striped clutch and the background of the printed top.
