The day has finally come….you can now shop the Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Summer of Color Collection exclusively online at Nordstrom (find the entire collection HERE)! I’m humbled beyond belief by this opportunity, and positively bursting with excitement to share this colorful, chic Collection with you!
I know you’re all anxious to see the pieces, so I’ll get right to it! The Collection consists of 13 different styles, each with several colors and patterns, for a total of 45 versatile pieces. We were dedicated to color consistency throughout the entire Collection, so the reds, blues, and pinks are the same across all pieces and patterns, making it effortless to mix-and-match creating countless outfit combinations for all your Summer plans. Whether you choose separates or sets, every combo works!
It’s all feminine, flattering, chic…and of course, affordable! My hope is that you feel beautiful and confident when wearing them. And remember, the entire Collection is size-inclusive ranging from XXS Petite to 3X. (Shop regular and petite HERE, and plus HERE.)Â
The Summer of Color Collection was inspired by the bold colors of the Mediterranean (and our upcoming family trip to Greece!), so we named the pieces for jaw-dropping spots of that region. Who knows, you may be inspired to book a trip of your own! Darling friends, I give you the Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Summer of Color Collection!!!
Sizing Sidenote: I’m 5’4″ 120-ish pounds (depending on the week’s taco count!). I wear a 0/XS and 26 jeans. Mama Sugarplum is 5’2″ with an hourglass shape, and wears 2/Small.
Ibiza One Shoulder Top
Let’s start with a little sass, shall we!? The Ibiza One Shoulder Top is a lightweight gauzy material that’s soft and cool against your skin, and perfect for a fun night out. The elastic keeps it comfortably in place, and the one-shoulder means nothing is slipping off your arm. It’s slim through the body, perfect for tucking, but the side slit makes leaving it untucked just as cute!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS and find it completely true to size. Mama SP in a small. Plus Size here
Undergarment: The one-shoulder requires a strapless bra. I’m a fan of the NuBra, but Mama Sugarplum prefers this strapless bra.
Pair it: The Milos Wide Leg Pants, Menorca Paper Bag Shorts, Hydra Linen Shorts, & Capri Tiered Tie Skirt

Santorini Maxi Dress
You can’t do a Summer Collection without a stunning maxi dress, am I right?! Inspired by the colors of Santorini’s famous blue domes, this show-stopping dress is gorgeous barefoot on the beach or dolled up for a night out. The straps have adjustable hidden buttons for a custom fit on top (and more length for tall girls!), and a comfortable elastic back to move with you. The empire waist adds support to the chest, while elongating the body, and the detailed trim adds texture and personality. It’s a lightweight gauzy material, and fully lined with beautiful movement. And yes…pockets!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS with the straps on the shortest notch, so there’s more room for larger chests and height. Plus Size available in additional colors, too! Find them here.
Undergarment: The cups are fully-lined with empire support and gathers, but the NuBra adds more support or helps fill it out, too.

Naxos Embroidered Racerback Tank
UPDATE: There’s been a slight delay on this tank, but we hope to have it live tomorrow! I’ll be sure to keep you updated, thank you for your patience!!
I live in tanks and tees during the Summertime, but can never help being a little ‘extra’…so we added stunning embroidery to the back of this tank! Each color features a bold contrasting or similar-hue of embroidery on the back, and it’s impossible to choose which I love best! The tank is a silky-soft rayon/spandex blend with a smooth body-con fit…perfect for wide leg pants and flowy skirts.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS and it’s perfectly fitted. Size up one if you prefer a less body-con fit. Mama SP prefers a small. Plus Sizes available here.
Undergarment: The racerback neckline allows for a racerback or strapless bra. I’m a fan of the NuBra, but Mama Sugarplum prefers this strapless bra.

Milos Paper Bag Pool Pant
The wide leg pants were one of the most popular pieces from our Resort Collection, and so perfect for the steamy Summer season, so we brought them back in new gorgeous bold blue prints. The soft, gauzy material is super lightweight, with a fun paperbag waist with removable tie. The wide legs are breezy, but still flattering, and the ankle length is perfect for showing off your sandals and wedges.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS and find them true to size. Mama SP in an XS, as well, but would prefer the length of a petite. Plus Size here
Undergarment: The Teal Stripes are best with nude undies.

Menorca Paper Bag Shorts
Like the Milos Paper Bag Pant, but in a fun, breezy short! The inseam is just right, and the wide legs are as flattering as they are comfortable. The paper bag waist is highlighted by a removable tie and the high-waist creates an hourglass shape. And of course we added pockets!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS and it’s true to size. Plus Size here
Undergarment: Neither color is sheer, and they aren’t clingy, so your favorite undie works great!

Mykonos Woven Racerback Romper
Summers are for rompers, and I’m mildly obsessed with our Mykonos Racerback Romper! Not only are the prints to-die-for…but the shape is so fun and flattering! Its a lightweight woven material, with adjustable drawstring waist for a custom fit at the waistline you prefer. Cinch it tight and wear it high on your waist, or leave it loose for a longer style. And you guessed it…pockets!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS and it’s true to size. Plus Size here
Undergarment: The racerback neckline allows for a racerback or strapless bra. I’m a fan of the NuBra, but Mama Sugarplum prefers this strapless bra.

Paros Halter Neck Henley Tank
The softest cotton/modal blend, you’ll be reaching for this tank all season long! The flattering halter neckline shows off your beautiful shoulders, and just begs for a ponytail! The henley style gives it a laidback sporty feel, but it’s darling paired with everything from cut-offs to skirts. It’s slim through the body for easy tucking, but the longer length gives full bum-coverage when worn out. Trust me, you’ll want this one in multiple colors!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS, but it’s low in the armholes, so I’d size down one. Mama SP sized down to an XS. Plus Size here
Undergarment: The halter style is best worn with a strapless bra or NuBra.

Hydra Linen Drawstring Shorts
Every Summer wardrobe needs a little white linen, and these pull-on drawstring shorts are already my go-to! So comfy and easy to wear, but with a high-rise and flattering fit, they make even the most basic tanks and tees a little more special. The linen blend is a little textured and not sheer, and the touch of rayon keeps them from wrinkling easily and move more freely. The elastic waist is wide and sits comfortably on your natural waist, and you know we added pockets! A lot to ask for a single pair of shorts, but the Hydra Linen Shorts deliver!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS and find them true to size. The drawstring is adjustable, as well.
Undergarment: I’d stick with nude undies since they’re white!
Pair it: Ibiza One Shoulder Top, Cavallo Button Shirt, Malta Square Neck Tee, Paros Halter Tank & Naxos Embroidered Tank

Sicily Embroidered Racerback Knit Dress
Remember the Ruffle Racerback Dress from our Resort Collection? We were so obsessed with that super-soft jersey material, we just had to create something new with it! The Sicily Embroidered Knit Dress is infinitely chic, with gorgeous embroidery across the back, but honestly feels like your favorite pajamas! It falls to the knee and barely skims the body, and so soft and light for Summer. Wear it with flat sandals for day, or wedges for night, you won’t want to take this one off!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS and it’s true to size. Plus Size here
Undergarment: The racerback style is best worn with a strapless bra or NuBra.Â

Capri Tiered Tie Skirt
Flowy skirts are my jam in the Summer, especially for travel. The Capri Tiered Tie Skirt creates a pulled-together style, yet wears so breezy and comfortable. The wide band sits comfortably on your natural waist, with a hidden back zipper, and uber-flattering aline shape. The woven material is gauzy light and is made for twirling! Mix things up and tie the attached bow in the front, side, or back. It’s lined and even has pockets! Basically everything I love in a skirt! Dress it up with the Ibiza One Shoulder Top or keep it casual with one of the tanks!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS, and it’s a snug fit high on my waist. If things are often tighter through your midsection, size up. Mama SP wears a small. Plus Size here
Undergarment: It’s fully-lined, so your favorite undies are fine!

Malta Square Neck Ruffle Tee
The Malta Ruffle Tee is my favorite for everyday…super soft like your favorite tee, but with a fun and flirty shape. We squared the neck to show off the collarbone, and made the sleeve flutter for a loose and flattering fit. It’s long enough to tuck or knot, or even wear out to your hips. It comes in the happiest colors and stripes, too!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS but it’s oversized, so I’d recommend sizing down one. Mama SP sized down to an XS. Plus Size here
Undergarment: It’s completely bra-friendly!

Cavallo Button Down Shirt
The tunic shirt for all your breezy styles, the Cavallo Button Down is equally casual and chic. Made of a gauzy lightweight fabric, it drapes beautifully and feels cool and breezy. Designed with a notch collar and cuffed sleeve, the deep v-neck gives the classic shape a touch of sass. The faux flap pockets add style, but not bulk, and the longer length is great for tying at the waist or covering the bum.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS, but size down if you prefer a closer fit. Mama SP in an XS. Plus Size here
Undergarment: Totally bra-friendly!

Sardinia Ruffle Neck Bow Dress
I know it’s not nice to play favorites, but if I had to choose…the Sardinia Ruffle Neck Dress would be the first thing I’d grab! My favorite easy-to-wear swing shape, with the most stunning tall ruffle collar and bow in the back! I mean, swoon!! It’s fully-lined with a slight halter neckline to show off the shoulder. It falls to the knees and moves beautifully. Dress it up with heels or wedges, throw it on with sandals…it’s classic and timeless, and perfect for every Summer occasion! But good luck choosing just one color or pattern!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS and it’s true to size. Plus Size here
Undergarment: The racerback neckline allows for a racerback or strapless bra. I’m a fan of the NuBra, but Mama Sugarplum prefers this strapless bra.
