The clothes you wear then should be equally effortless.
Excessively elaborate clothes are confusing, say the fashion experts. Extravagant clothing can blur the individual style and personality of the woman who wears them.
Summer is a season for simple, elegant shapes in soft and smooth colors.
Highly decorated, sparkling, opulent flashy dressing is out for now.
Pack away your black stockings. Pack away your traditional summer red-white-and-blue, too.
And you won't be needing your flashy jewel-tones this year, either.
In fact, the closest thing you'll find to adornment is texture.
Being ostentatious has never been something to be proud of, anyway.
It has long been the philosophy of Anne Klein to make clothes well. Make clothes last. But - most of all - make clothes real.
This season's looks are comfortable and wearable. Classic clothing cut with a soft, modern edge. Long, liquid minimalist silhouettes in the most delicate colors.
Bright whites tempered by just the faintest blush of color. The palest porcelains. Colors that sound as if they'd taste as good as they look: vanilla, bisque, champagne, peach, almond, and cream.
Sand-colored linen separates that actually look better wrinkled.
Clothing that breathes when the summer wind blows.
