As
spring makes way for summer, the season evolves into plenty of sunshine, clear
skies and pops of red, white and blue. The patriotic color scheme seems
synonymous with summer thanks to holidays like Memorial Day and the 4th of July.
As we celebrate Memorial Day weekend, it
seems only appropriate to use the color palette as a point of inspiration and
way to remember those who have served our country.
Stars,
stripes and gold accents are the perfect trio to celebrate a patriotic spirit.
Designer Zuhair Murad did
just that in his spring collection. He kept the looks fresh with youthful
silhouettes like the trapeze top and front peplum detailing.
The
spirit of Americana is evident in the designs thanks to stripes and gold
accessories that shimmer like stars.
Not
only do the color and fabric choices bring to mind the American flag, they also
pay homage to WWII sailors.
The use of nautical stripes and gold buttons are
particularly reminiscent of the American sailors. There’s even a pant suit in the collection that resembles
the flared legs of their uniforms.
As
you set sail into summer, be sure to celebrate the season and the country’s
heritage with a little bit of red, white and blue.
