This summer, I’m obsessed with all things yellow. More specifically, citron yellow, a bold and cheerful shade that’s just on the verge of being neon. When it comes to what to wear with citron, I find that nothing works better than an understated tan shade. We all know that pairing brights and neutrals makes for a chic outfit, so combining citron with tan creates a modern and fresh look that’s perfect for summertime.

Create a low-key summertime ensemble by pairing a trendy snake print blouse with some brightly-colored citron shorts.
