A zest of style

With our eyes closed, as we take in some sun, we celebrate the return of the milder weather. We head to the terrace, where the ensembles are as refreshing as the tangy beverages that quench our thirst. Our preferred colours and flavours this season: everything with zest! Below, here’s a look at the inspiring wares currently filling the accessories shelves of some of our favourite stores.

Sparkling lemonade

When paired with black, yellow is nothing short of elegant. But this hue truly reveals its seasonal potential when layered over a white ensemble. The most daring among us won’t hesitate to combine it with other enriched hues, in colour blocking fashion.

1. Ballet flats, $22.94 at Old Navy.

2. Tribal lacquered straw belt, $18 at Simons.

3. Triple strand beaded necklace, $25.90 at Zara.

4. Nica Nessner handbag, $78, at Little Burgundy.

A tall glass of OJ

A cheerful ally to neutral tones, orange gives any outfit a bit of pep. The shade goes nicely with variations of blue, its opposite on the color wheel. In short, In short, it’s the colour of choice for a healthy glow!

5. Lauren by Ralph Lauren Courtney wool wrap, $45 at The Bay.

6. ECHO textured straw fedora, $45 at The Bay.

7. Waterworth sunglasses, $12 at Aldo.

8. Cotton strappy sandals, $79.95 at H&M.

Fresh limeade

A touch of citrus lime easily blends with real leather accessories. Often paired with off-white, it is an iconic sportswear colour. For a more sober look, however, we wear it with our favourite pair of jeans.

9. Brigthly-coloured retro sunglasses, $10 at Simons.

10. Nautica Multifunction watch, $250 at fine watch and jewellery retailers.

11. Dooney & Bourke letter carrier, $168 at The Bay.

12. Rainboots, $54.95 at Old Navy.
