Finding your personal style is one thing—finding the colors that make you feel confident, bold, and authentic is another. With summer just around the corner, it's the perfect time to rethink your color palette and explore hues that effortlessly transition from day to night. Modern minimalism isn’t just about neutral tones and monochrome fits. It’s about choosing colors that reflect your essence while staying true to simplicity and sophistication.
Whether you're getting ready for a morning coffee run or an evening rooftop vibe, let’s talk about making color work for you—without overcomplicating it.
Think about it—ever worn something that just didn’t feel right? Maybe it was the color. Sometimes, it's not about the fit or the brand—it’s about how the hue complements your skin tone and makes you feel seen. Choosing colors that work with your complexion can elevate your whole look. And with summer’s vibrant energy calling for a little more expression, now’s the time to find your signature shades.
When you’re confident in your color choice, you’ll feel more at ease—whether you’re rocking our Clarity Collection Eyewear or styling one of our sleek Elevate Link Watches.
Daytime Sophistication: Light and Breezy Tones
Summer mornings are made for light, breezy shades. If you’re heading out during the day, think about colors that reflect natural light. Soft earth tones, muted greens, and pale yellows can be effortlessly chic without being loud.
For example, the Manifest Large Frame in Green from our Clarity Collection complements deeper complexions by adding a touch of color without overwhelming your look. Pair it with a neutral outfit to make the green pop without sacrificing minimalism.
