I've noticed that there's a lot of layering going on in fashion today, but living in a tropical country, layering can only go so far before you start to feel like you're in a sauna. Thus I love it when I come across images of outfits that could work in the tropics yet are still fashionable.
Light layering is key! I love the color combination that Anna Dela Russo's assistant (girl on the right) wears. Sophisticated European looks can translate to tropical elegance too.
