White + grays + black + khakis = fresh. 3.1 Phillip Lim and Celine (YAY PHOEBE PHILO’S BACK :DD) seem to be on the same page with this one. These tones and colors work together to produce a clean, chic proposal for spring/summer ‘10.

In Celine these colors are played up with mattes and textures of black as well as variations in fabric weight, whereas Phillip Lim played things up with grids to add a geometric zest to otherwise rather minimal clothes.

I’ve been searching for the perfect pair of khaki shorts and boy oh boy 3.1 Phillip Lim’s are awfully enticing.
