If you're in the mood for an effortless look where it actually requires zero effort, this is the answer. A super simple option for any look ranging from vacation to business is contrast. You can create this effect with a top and bottom pairing being of two different shades such as light pink and navy. The look can also be shown with layering using a blazer or cardigan. This works perfectly if you usually go for darker colors and want a lighter look for summer.

Probably the biggest style of the summer and a definite "it" item for your Instagram. Lucky for us, the off the shoulder comes in all colors, patterns, and price ranges. The perfect detail about this style: it comes in tops AND dresses. It pairs well with statement earrings or a understated solid color bag.
