Darker colors absorb heat and can appear too heavy for bright, sunny days

A religious ceremony, a conservative family wedding, or a traditional venue may call for more coverage than a two-piece typically offers

Balsamic vinaigrette, zesty Italian dressing, creamy poppyseed, and dozens more are waiting to be tried

You can also add in some chopped arugula and sun-dried tomatoes for a Mediterranean twist
