We do a version of this story every season because a) we know that shopping according to your style archetype will help you whittle down the options, keep your closet cohesive, and pass on the trend pieces that don’t feel authentically you; and b) it’s damn fun to write.
For this edition, we scouted the dresses, jewelry, and just-for-fun extras that’ll breathe new life into your winter-weary wardrobe.
Shore Leave
This summer, like all of you who have been cooped up indoors, we're ready to go on a well-deserved vacation. It's going to be all about sun, sand, and a whole lot of fashion—with safety protocols and masks, of course.
A change of scenery is good for the soul, and we're making it a memorable one with looks that serve and plenty of snaps to remember them by. From sunrise swims to boozy brunch and sunset drinks. We're dressing up for every possible moment of the season.
If you're contemplating booking that trip, drop the hesitation and pack these chic vacation looks because this summer is your time to unwind and look good while doing so.

Florals for Spring? An unmatched classic! Serving fresh looks isn't always about newness but can also be about what's beautiful and doing it well. This season, we're bringing florals back to the fold with large prints, pastel hues, and frills all over.
Sartorial Warmth
Bring the joy of summer wherever you go with a wardrobe of bright and breezy numbers that suits your vacation mood. This season, we're doing outdoor leisurewear in frilly tangerines, fun cargo mini skirts, and an array of functional arm candies—think totes and shoulder bags.
Slip Into Chic
Underdressed is such an overrated concept—even for vacations. Slip into a chic look even if you're simply stepping out for coffee or the hotel breakfast. Dress up for the mundane; think of an elevated white tee, a beautiful slip skirt, and all the right accessories that pop.
Splendid Evenings
Vacations are a celebration—of the season, freedom, rest, and simply being. Dress your best, especially when the sun sets and happy hour starts. Find the most beautiful flowy maxi dresses in breezy silhouettes, tropical prints, and resort sensibility. Make the vacation count and go all out with style and fun.
