As with all things Aspen, our summers differ from most other destinations in terms of weather and fashion. As the old saying goes, “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes.” It’s possible to experience all four seasons in a single day, so what’s a fashionista to do? Focus on the classics: seasonless pieces that work no matter what the finicky Colorado weather brings. Timeless styles continue to speak to us year after year, and currently, python is beckoning ever so seductively. Gucci’s 1970 shoulder bag, which debuted this spring, epitomizes luxury and glamour, while Ralph Lauren’s gilded snake chain belt mesmerizes. Simply put, we’re charmed.
