1 Hot, New Lippie, 4 Awesome Summer Outfits

View Fullscreen

We’re serious fans of anything that can take an outfit from zero to hero. And, while we usually look to accessories – that amazing new necklace or super-fun clutch – to spice things up this summer, we’re turning our attention to a new multitasker in town.

We’re making big claims on behalf of a bad, bold, orange lippie. Added to any look, it’s just about the most perfect jolt of color and sass. Unconvinced? Ahead, we show off four totally different looks that prove an orange lip is this season’s sartorial VIP. Color us impressed!
