Don't get us wrong, you can wear prints through all four seasons. But what we really love about a bright, busy piece is its functionality. You slip it right on and it sort of speaks for itself — no overthinking or overstyling required. And, in the Summer, that's the only formula we want to use for getting dressed. Apparently, our favorite stars are in total agreement. Alessandra Ambrosio, Chloë Moretz, Reese Witherspoon [1], and Kristin Cavallari [2] all stepped out in the most fail-safe street style looks, and most importantly, the patterns they chose totally speak to their personalities. Scroll down to choose which outfit suits you, and prepare to go bold.
