While the seasons may be turning colder in other countries, we’re geographically blessed with perpetual balmy climes all year round—this means that we’ve got 365 days to play around with the best of summer styles. Enter Nikkie Plessen, the Dutch celebrity fashion designer whose fun, fresh pieces and equally breezy personal style have got us inspired for the coming months. We break down three of her best summer looks so that you can give your wardrobe a retail refresh.

1. GRAPHIC GIRL
With a bold graphic dress such as this, keep your accessories simple, but complementary.
