Summer French fashion is ablaze with color and creativity. Admittedly, this normally hot and sunny time of year has been slow to arrive here in Paris this season. However, the rainy days and gloomy skies have meant that it is even more important to pull out a range of colorful clothes and accessories to help brighten up these unseasonably grey days.
