Coral evokes summer as no other color can. That said, figuring out how best to wear it can be a challenge. Whether you only want to dabble with a muted shade or small accessory, or you wish to take the colorful plunge, there is sure to be something here for you.
For the truly bold, pair coral with turquoise, as seen in the Love & Liberty Silk Ori dress ($212 at ASOS.com). The forgiving cut and light fabric are perfect for day or night. In the middle is Modcloth’s Coral Arrangements Dress ($69 at Modcloth.com); its brightness is softened by a top layer of floral lace. French Connection’s Silk Frill Sleeve dress ($148 at ASOS.com) is a more conservative style and lighter shade, making it better suited to a work environment.
The Elgin Supersoft Skinny Jeans in Washed Coral ($20 at ASOS.com) are an unexpected alternative to white jeans, and they come in extended lengths and maternity sizes. Seychelles’ Apology Accepted stacked heel ($90 at Seychellesfootwear.com) is a unique mixture of wedge style and classic heel, and the combination of light coral and brown can almost be called neutral. Seychelles’ Pomona flat sandal ($48 at Zappos.com) is a brighter option that covers more foot than most sandals, a necessity for walking on dirty city streets.
As far as jewelry goes, the Cael earrings from Stone and Honey ($102 at Stoneandhoney.com) have the curvy shape of hoops and are handmade in Portland, Oregon. For a seasonal version of the bib necklaces that are currently in style, pair an all-white outfit with Shamelessly Sparkly’s Bauble Coral necklace ($10 at Etsy.com).
This summer, try out coral and stand out from the crowd!
