The Checklist: Summer Staples
It’s finally time to dive into some joyful holiday-inspired dressing, whether that’s for swanning around in the sunshine, or enjoying an escape further afield. Try layering swimwear with ready-to-wear, be that an easy, breezy summer dress, or some classic cutoff denim shorts. Finish the outfit with some sleek sandals and brightly painted toes.
1. Stylish Swimwear
What’s your swimwear personality? Perhaps you’re in the mood for something skimpy this season, in which case try Frankie’s Bikinis, Louisa Ballou and Isa Boulder for playfully cheeky bikinis. For something more muted, Form and Fold, Matteau and Hunza G blend size inclusiveness with fashion for styles that are both sleek and supportive, executed in elegant and flattering neutral tones. For all out beach glamour, Oserée is the name to know, or try designer favourites from Burberry, Gucci and Pucci.
2. Easy Breezy Dresses
The easiest summer outfit solution? A do-it-all dress. Try these effortless essentials to add a beachy twist to a weekend outfit (think denim jacket and sandals) or throw over swimwear for vacation-ready dining or a trip to see the sights. Either way, these airy fabrics and power prints will transport your brain to the beach, no matter where you are.
3. Short And Sweet
For the classics amongst us, denim favourites from Citizens of Humanity, PAIGE and Good American have you covered. For the fashion-forward, boxer styles from Frankie Shop and Holzweiler boxer are your go-to, for something a little more tailored, try Nanushka and Zimmermann.
4. Sleek Sandals
Put your best foot forward in a pair of stylish sandals, whether that be chunky straps from Jil Sander, embossed slides from Bottega Veneta, or sleek slip-on mules from Ganni. Heels or flats, colourful or neutral, these will be your perfect warm weather footwear all summer long.
