The collection was filled with neutral shades, relaxed silhouettes and chambray separates. This simple, airy collection – fashioned primarily out of crisp, Japanese and Italian cottons – will have you looking cool as a cucumber even in the direst of heat waves. Models walked the runways in tunic shirt-dresses, flirty polka-dot patterns and wrap-around knotted skirts and dresses. The [wide-brimmed hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-hour-getaway-collection) that accessorized the ensembles offer extra shade and protection from UV rays.
