I’m a BIPOC Fashion Editor—7 Colors I Always Wear in Summer

Every year, I patiently wait through the other three seasons just for my favorite of them all to finally arrive: Summer. What can I say? I just love everything about the summertime—summer vacations, warm weather, sundresses, beach days, pool days, frozen drinks, and summer Fridays. The list of reasons why summer reigns supreme and holds the title of my favorite season can go on forever. But one of the things I really love about summer is that once it’s here, my wardrobe takes a turn for the colorful. For me, there has always been this unwritten rule about wearing bright clothing during the other seasons of the year. I’m not sure what it is, but I have always felt like you save your brightest and most colorful pieces for the summertime—it just feels right.

As a person of color, embracing different shades that accentuate my brown skin is a top priority when it comes to summer dressing. There are seven colors that I have been seeing on other BIPOC fashion individuals and influencers, and they have been living rent-free in my mind. All seven are bold, fun, chic, and summery, and in my opinion, they look incredible on black and brown skin.
