Pop goes the pastel

MANILA, Philippines - This season is marked by vibrant hues and sophisticated silhouettes in graphic dotted, striped and plaid patterns. Maxi dresses and pencil skirts are given a sharper look with wide and varied stripes, while sweaters, skater skirts and printed pants are splashed with arresting plaids. Match these pieces with luxe satin culottes and halter woven tops. Keep accessories to a minimum and opt for houndstooth pumps, metallic rope sandals or gladiator wedges that mimic the lines of your ensemble for a striking sartorial summer statement.
