When you hear “lightness,” maybe cheerful colors come to mind. Not vivid tones, but gentler, paler hues. Colors that evoke the natural world, like sage green, mauve pink, pale terra cotta, and milky ecru. This season, instead of being used as accents, these key colors work as soft base tones that pull a look together.

Lightness also brings to mind “sheerness” and “showing skin.” Cropped cuts that show your waistline around town and sheer fabrics that reveal the outline of your innerwear are taking off

Functional materials can make a suit feel light as anything. Marketed as AirSense, these amazing suits are celebrated for their lightness. The thin and stretchy cottonlike material is pleasantly supple. Wear it casual with a tee, or business with a shirt.

The comfort of natural fabrics is another face of “lightness.” Especially when it comes to linen, cotton and silk, the breezy fabrics of spring and summer. This season’s collection presents linen shirts made from 100% premium European flax, along with linen blend T-shirts, easy pants, and dresses. The smooth fabrics and colorful palette will fill your heart with lightness.
