Trend of the Moment: Ombre Dress

Whether dressing up for a cocktail party or a black-tie affair, an ombré dress is the perfect statement this summer. Flirty, daring, and very chic, ombré is a subtle attention-getter that adds that extra spark to your evening style, whether you go for summer brights or a darker, more dramatic look.

I personally prefer ombré dresses and skirts in blues, as it reminds me of the ocean and the cool breezes on the beach. I also find the variety in ombré pieces fascinating, since you can really play around with a variety of colors and gradations to make each piece unique, from soft and romantic to edgy and dark and many other styles in between.
