As we bid adieu to Spring and encroach on the months of Summer, there's never been a better time to add a hint of cool to your closet. This season, do just that with bright colors, bold silhouettes, and a new swimsuit or two.

See below for the rest of our Summer picks.
The start of Summer marks a time for a refreshing new wardrobe comprised of bold prints, sleek silhouettes, and a rainbow of bright hues. We're currently coveting: statement dresses from Peter Pilotto, metallic Miu Miu sandals, and of course, the perfect accessories from Saint Laurent and Stella McCartney to complete our sunny-weather look.

The black bag has achieved unshakeable status in the modern woman's wardrobe — it's professional, classic, and just the littlest bit boring (admit it!). The next time you're looking to add one to the pack, we suggest giving blue a chance. The shade has a wide span of iterations, with options suited for anyone. Pale robin's egg fits into Spring's pastel forecast, while vibrant lapis is sure to please even the boldest fashion fanatic. And for those who are truly distraught to step away from black? Chic navy, of course.
Thanks to Diane Kruger's latest travel ensemble, today's outfit is right here. Her winning mix of prints started with a navy-and-white Diane von Furstenberg "Paulette" studded blazer, then quickly moved into full-on striped boyfriend jeans territory. A black tank and Ray-Ban aviators kept things casual and cool, but it was her white add-ons — a fedora, Rochas bag, and clear cap-toe Christian Louboutin flats — that packed a punch. No matter where today takes you, look to Diane for an extra dose of what-to-wear inspiration. And to take this look from day to night, lose the fedora and sunglasses and add high heels, a colored lip, and gorgeous waves. Shop our editors' picks below to get the party started.
