Time to Buy: Ombre
Once all the rage in hair, ombre has moved on from lovely graduated locks to adorn everything in apparel. From the French for “shaded” or “shadow,” ombre is this season’s alternative to florals or stripes, resembling a solid while providing the visual interest of a print. Ombre is available through intricate weaves or free-spirited dip dyes, and gives off a laid-back vibe ideal for the warm, skin-baring summer months. Try this trend in summer maxis or mini dresses, with hippie-feeling open knits, or streetwise denim.
