The Only Color You Need This Weekend

Orange is a wildly versatile hue. It can work magic on your lips. It can halt traffic (even if you do occasionally run over those pesky cones). And, it can make a more classic-feeling ensemble instantly sexy and fresh (yes, more than fruit). So, it’s no wonder we’re completely enamored with this stunner from Dior’s resort ’14 collection. Equal parts flirty cool and sports inspired, the citrusy bandeau paired with kookier accessories makes the overarching black-and-white vibe come alive. And, it serves as primo copy material when prepping our weekend looks. Because, you know that same black dress has just had it, right?
