For the Summer 2010

Lighten Up & Brighten Up

If you're yet to own a neutral color suit, buy one. The lighter color always works well for spring and summer, regardless of whatever might be the trend. It's a relatively casual color, however, so it won't fly at strictly formal affairs.

For all the comfort that they offer, light colors are not without shortcomings. Any outfit styled in predominantly pale or pastel shades will most likely end up feeling lifeless or dully faded. Basic pieces in brighter colors should keep your ensemble both lively and interesting.
