Summer time fashion can be hassle free. Sun kissed tans look lovely with fun, stylish patterns. It’s an easy way to liven up any look and it requires minimal make up because the blast of pattern will speak volumes while everything else can (and should) be maintained at a low-key level. This is the beauty of summer time -- keeping it fresh and letting your beauty shine along with some eclectic patterns.
Let’s jump into a crazy but gorgeous curve hugging number. Pair this ultra sexy dress with some sharp stilettos and you’ll be the “it” gal at the party. Perhaps you can also class it up with a sophisticated strappy pair to balance out this dress’s over the top personality. The orange and blue spray paint look really gives this dress a powerful and gorgeous contrast. The cutout patterns on top in midsection differentiate this dress from the rest.

Now I want to show everyone something a little bit more on the breezy side. I am crushing over this simple, yet totally eccentric shift dress. The high neckline and its loose fit are great options for this time of year. Its colors are happy and bright and the random scattered geometrical designs make this dress eye popping and uber cool.
Wear this with gladiator flats or your favorite strappy summer heel. It’s a transitional dress that you can appropriately wear to many occasions. You can always pair it with a sleek white blazer and classic pumps before summer ends or even extend its stay in your closet by toning it down with a darker jacket and pump for fall.

Check out this dress -- it’s a slam-dunk of patterns. I love the exotic look and I believe the designer brilliantly executed the random green plaid. The length and cut of this dress is so couture.

My next feature is for ladies that don’t like too many colors colliding with one another. Check out this red and black orchid pattern dress. Although its style is very similar to the last dress, the designer toned it down many notches. Pair this one with patent leather black pumps and wear it year round for wow-factor.
