There is no better time to show off color than during the summer (apologies to those of you in the other hemisphere), and many designers are doing just that. Taking the cue of the summer season, designers are creating some very inspiring color palettes for us to enjoy. Here are a few of the more dramatic and bold color palettes that, if worn, will expose any true color lover.
If you ladies, and adventurous gentlemen, are wondering where I might have come across such a selection of dresses, my search started at NOTCOUTURE, from there I ran into a few online boutiques which can be seen when you click on the image/designer links.

Not a dress, but still colorful
Swims seem to be a classier version of Crocks, not that those don’t look nice with your suit, but these are a little more clean and simple. Plus, like crocks, they come in a nice variety of colors. NOTCOT
