1. Bright colors are the key look for this summer. If you can’t resist wearing plain colors like black, at least hold onto some colorful accessories. This can be your purse, shoes, nails, scarf, watch, or even a hair ornament. Just make it pop.

2.  Paint your lips in exciting colors like neon orange, splashy red, or wild pink. Try M.A.C or Make Up For Ever (M/F, Siam Paragon, 02-690-1000).

3.  Sunglasses are forever and will always be one of the most essential accessories for the sunny season. The best look for this year is retro, or big and bold. But if you like something more daring, then cat-eye shades are a must. Try Calvin Klein Woman or grab one from Platinum Fashion Mall (222, Petchaburi Rd., 02-121-8000) at only B100.
