Accessories include a satin belt and a sailor collar, plus a black cire hat with white satin trim and yarn elements.
Summer gowns drift from all white to vibrant yellows and pumpkin tones with black ribbon girdles adding contrast.

White linen remains essential for summer wardrobes with a yellow linen coat trimmed in brown braid. Rings replaced by stacked bracelets up to three inches wide with diamonds. A white net gradation frock trimmed with Val evennes radiates smart summer style.
