So maybe this wasn't the summer you got to stroll through the markets of Marrakech or browse the bazaars in Tanzania. Dude . . . us neither. Happily, we can all still exude well-traveled sophistication thanks to the season's tribal prints and global designs. Dries Van Noten mastered the look on the runway with a vibrant mix of patterns that are richly alive with far-flung charm. And jewelry is loaded with the same exotic panache. Think charm bracelets, tribal-inspired necklaces, colorful trinkets, and chunky, funky bangles. Each is lively enough to define an outfit, yet laidback enough that you can layer a couple and achieve a perfectly relaxed, not-trying-too-hard vibe - which, if you ask us, is what summer style is all about.
