TRENDING: RAINBOW COLLECTION SWIMWEAR TO SWEATERS WITH THE DAYS OF THE WEEK

“We live in a rainbow of chaos.” Paul Cézanne’s words ring as true today as they did at the turn of the century, but as we fathom our way through these discombobulating times, the desire for little hits of happiness seems ever more pleasing—necessary, even.

After Alberta Ferretti’s highly successful days-of-the-week Rainbow cashmere sweaters brought cheer earlier this year, the Italian designer is now intent on bringing a ray of color confidence to your vacation wardrobe. One-pieces in pleasing gelato brights come emblazoned with the days of the week (a handy reminder when you are lost in a catatonic state of poolside bliss) in a flatter-all sportif cut. Complementing the expansion of the Rainbow Week collection will be seven coquettish furs—seemingly incongruous with Ferretti’s summer-fling suits, but reimagined now as the most decadent of cover-ups. Throw a shrug over your shoulders a la Jerry Hall in Vogue in the ’70s and take a Norman Parkinson–inspired Instagram to keep the glamour alive (then wear the coat into winter, making it a sound investment).

Swim will be available at AlbertaFerretti.com and Fwrd by Elyse Walker, with the furs exclusive to Saks Fifth Avenue, in the beginning of next week. Yes, truth be told: We’re not over the rainbow just yet.
