The girls of summer

MANILA, Philippines - Spring into the season with CWomen and Seventeen’s sizzling summer collections.

The key, this time, is to keep things simple. Opt for streamlined shapes and not too much layering — summer is a time to show off your skin. To keep things interesting, don’t be afraid of color.

Swim gracefully in the new color-blocked swimsuit: a paneled or duotone affair of neon green and pink — two hot shades that are sure to get you noticed, poolside.

Incorporate orange into the mix with a tankini-style swimsuit, that you can wear with a sheer-pleated miniskirt as you lounge by the pool. Pick up on the strong energy of a magenta swim bottom by pairing it with a tropical print tee — also a strong trend this summer. Or, go the striped route with spandex boy shorts in the same palette, set against a neutral beige tank.

Speaking of neutrals, the other direction this season is to keep things classic and classy, with a belted khaki shirtdress for a safari feel, or the retro-cool combo of a pleated skirt with a teal dotted blouse.

For special summer days, however, reach for an asymmetric aquamarine dress in light chiffon. The fabric makes it a transitional piece that’s good to wear both day (with flats) and night (with a comfy wedge heel). What’s more, the color goes great with a tan, as do all the brights and neutrals in CWomen and Seventeen’s summer collection — your go-to for easy, yet stylish summer dressing.
