Just because the seasons have taken a rather drastic turn for the hotter doesn't mean you should change up your style completely. Not a fan of wearing color? No sweat--literally! Contrary to popular belief, summer isn't all about bold brights and pretty pastels: below, we give you five playful, adorably chic outfit combinations to try, sans the rainbow hues. Sometimes, life really is black and white!
