Even the most color-averse dressers would have to agree that summer is the perfect time to experiment with fun hues. While all-black outfits will always feel right for fall and winter, now's your chance to expand your fashion horizons a bit. If you're eager to inject color into your wardrobe this summer, might I suggest looking to stylish French and Italian women for inspiration?
While doing some sleuthing on Instagram, I noticed that a handful of specific colors kept popping up on the chicest women's feeds over and over again. For starters, French and Italian women seem quite partial to cherry-red pieces this summer, including swimsuits, dresses, blouses, and more. If you don't want to wear the color from head to toe, consider incorporating it via accessories such as handbags and shoes. Keep scrolling for five color trends to wear right now.
1. Cherry Red
Whether you go all in or stick to one colorful accessory, cherry red will make for a striking look this summer.
