The hotter it gets the less layers you have to wear, but that doesn’t make it any easier to get dressed. Instead of trying to find colors that coordinate, choose one color and wear it head-to-toe.

Below, three totally tonal outfits that won’t wash you out:

WHITE

 Shirt: Lacoste for J.Crew, $98 | Pants: Theory, $195 | Cardigan: Tommy Hilfiger, $150

Shoes: ASOS, $73 | Sunglasses: Steven Alan, $165

Wear it Well: Give into the tennis vibe of an all white outfit and pair a polo with sneaks and sunnies for a country-club-cool look.

BLUE

Bomber: Gap, $90 | Shirt: Saturdays Surf NYC, $110 | Jeans: Han Kjobenhavn, $200

Shoes: Vans, $45 | Wallet: Jack Spade, $78

Wear it Well: Keep the shirt and pants close in color – it feels like there are *literally* endless shades of blue amiright? – and let the bomber lighten the palette and turn up the texture.

GREY
