As the above photos would suggest, summer fashion is going on safari. Giraffe prints, zebra designs, khaki-colored fabrics, aviator sunglasses (think Kanye West) and African bib necklaces are saturating many collections.

I say embrace it. Just be sure to tone down those giraffe prints by pairing them with something a bit more subdued. And, break up all that khaki with some bold-colored accessories and shoes. That's especially important for my fellow fair-skinned friends.

While it may be important to blend into your surroundings while on an actual safari, blonde-and-pale folks shouldn't aim to blend their khakis into their skin.
