There’s no doubt about it… Bold colors are having a moment. Fashion girls are taking pieces with eye-catching colors and creating some pretty compelling outfits. Perhaps it’s foreshadowing for what’s to come in the next few months: In case you hadn’t heard, one of fall’s biggest trends is set to be red. Red boots, red dresses, head-to-toe red—get ready.

But sometimes colorful outfits are tricky to style, making it hard to hop on board. Even this editor is guilty. It’s so easy to fall into a habit of wearing black or navy or white. But with one scroll through Instagram, I’ve been inspired to start incorporating more daring colors into my wardrobe. Through trial and error, and a little research to see how fashion girls have mastered the tricky trend, I’ve figured out that there’s a simple trick to wearing bold colors. And it’s pretty easy to follow: When wearing bold shades, stick to solids, and make sure to color-block. That’s it! If you need more proof, see some outfit inspiration ahead.

Though the subjects of fashion photography are predominantly women, the person behind the camera is often a man. The bylines of so many magazine editorials demonstrate that fashion photography very much remains a male-dominated profession. But while some of the most familiar names in fashion photography belong to men, there’s no shortage of talented women in the industry. There are more and more female movers and shakers making their mark in the competitive field, serving up gorgeous work and endless inspiration. The best part about our contemporary female fashion photographers is that they all have Instagram, so you can get a daily look into their lens for a female perspective of fashion and everything else in life worth capturing. To introduce you to some of our favorite leading ladies in the industry—and bring even more beauty and fashion inspiration to your Instagram feed—we’ve rounded up our favorite female fashion photographers.

Happy summer, everyone! And happy birthday to all of the Cancers out there. This month, we find ourselves with the sun in Cancer and moon in Libra on the first of the month. Cancer is all about nesting, chilling out, and self-nurturance. Cancer is also a boss babe, so she asks us to tap into our internal reserve of getting stuff done (perhaps mainly around the homestead or if you work at home). With the month beginning with the moon in Libra, emotional balance can be a major keystone for July. We may be challenged this month to keep our center even as things feel really busy and intense.

Read on to see what the cosmos has to say for your unique sign and have a beautiful month.

Truth: We wear our denim cutoffs to death in the summertime. For a range of off-duty occasions, it seems there's nothing they don't pair perfectly with. So here to help us avoid total fatigue is the heroic sister to denim shorts: a jean skirt.

Essentially the same wear-with-anything item sans one strip of fabric down the middle, a skirt imparts a similar effect with a slightly different silhouette. An A-line denim piece can add a subtle but impactful vintage-inspired look to crop tops, tanks, and—as seen on Bella Hadid—basic bodysuits. We love the model's take on double-duty denim, pairing her high-waisted skirt with a cropped, oversize jacket, and her sleek satin mules and silver accessories add interest to an otherwise pared-down outfit. Looking to ever so slightly update your denim game this summer? Add this approach into the rotation.

Whether you're going on vacation or not, the new brand, Ciao Lucia, is one to know. Created for the girl who wishes she was on an eternal vacation, Ciao Lucia's collection contains the only pieces you would ever need to take on a relaxing getaway. But not just any getaway, one to the Italian coast, of course. Designer Lucy Akin's inspiration for an Italian-inspired brand came about because, as the site tells us, "when she was little, Italian graphic design became one of her passions – she collected vintage postcards from Italy and all the old liquor posters for Contreau and Martini. The Talented Mr Ripley was her favorite movie and she worked at a Sicilian restaurant on the water of San Francisco all through high school and college." 

Each piece from the swimsuits down to the going-out tops was created with a story behind it, as told by the picture-perfect locations each item was shot in. We hate to break it to you, but Ciao Lucia will definitely give you a travel itch, but at least now you know what to buy before you go. Because let's face it—your next adventure is imminent. 

Go on to shop our favorite products from this new Italian-inspired brand, Ciao Lucia.

At first glance, Bella Hadid's and Lily Aldridge's outfits last night may not seem similar. The former went for a dramatic black gown with a fully sheer skirt, while the latter opted for a sleek satin column gown. But if you look closely, you'll see their twinning moment: They both wore beautiful choker necklaces with colorful gems. The statement pieces are from Bulgari's new Festa High Jewelry collection, which the brand describes as "an homage to the sense of pure happiness of the Italian Festas."

Fêting the collection's launch in Venice, Italy, last night—at a historic palace, naturally—Hadid and Aldridge looked nothing short of glamorous. How can they possibly top these outfits at future events?

Because she's Gigi Hadid, Gigi Hadid goes to a lot of parties. So it makes sense that she recently told Harper's Bazaar UK that the best piece of fashion advice she's ever received was from Carine Roitfeld, the former editor in chief of Vogue Paris, current editor in chief of CR Fashion Book, and global fashion director of Harper's Bazaar. She once told the It model, "If you don't know what to wear to a party, wear jeans, a T-shirt, and heels, [and] call it a night." Hadid has clearly followed the iconic 62-year-old Parisian's advice, as she added, "It's made a lot of my nights easier." We're in complete agreement that unless you're attending a formal affair, you can't go wrong with the easy, effortless combination.

If there's anyone who understands warm-weather style, it's Miami girls—and if there's anyone who understands Miami girls, it's Laure Hériard Dubreuil, founder and president of The Webster, the It boutique that's been at the heart of the city's fashion scene since it was founded in 2009. While the store now has locations in Houston, Costa Mesa, Bal Harbour, and soon New York, the South Beach flagship started it all, and locals and visitors alike flock to its racks for trendsetting wares from established designers and up-and-comers alike (perhaps it's no surprise that the logo is a pink flamingo).

Structured shorts and a fancy top might fly in the right office setting, and date night could feel especially fresh with a silky style—a little inventiveness can go a long way.

Below, we're highlighting seven cool ways to wear shorts this summer, no sweat. By mixing them with unexpected pieces like formal shoes, statement tops, or even a polished jacket, you'll never think of them the same way again. Curious to see which looks we're loving now?
