Seasonal Pieces (Summer Edit)
As the seasons shift, your wardrobe should follow suit—evolving with the weather while staying true to your personal style. Now that summer's here, it's time to reassess the rotation. What pieces should you shelve? What deserves a spot in your lineup? Here’s the breakdown.
Quick note: Don’t get swept up in trends. Try new things, sure—but only if they align with your style. There’s no need to chase every look you’ve seen on the runway or your feed. Stay grounded in what feels like you.
The Polo: A Versatile Essential
You already know the polo belongs in your capsule collection—but summer is the time to add a bit of range. White is a classic (and heat-friendly), but try working in a light blue or even a bold pastel like yellow for something different. If your current white polo has seen better days, consider grabbing a second to refresh your options. The beauty of the polo lies in its versatility: pair it with jeans, chinos, slacks, shorts—even a summer suit. It adapts without trying too hard.
Linen: Lightweight Luxury
Linen is a must.
Whether it’s a long sleeve, short sleeve, shorts, or even a full suit—this fabric is the definition of summer ease. It’s light, breathable, and gives you that effortless “on vacation but still put together” vibe. Yes, it wrinkles—but don’t stress it. Press it beforehand and then just let it live.
Personally, I love a linen set: shorts and a matching shirt (sleeves rolled a few times). It’s perfect for beach strolls, poolside drinks, or late afternoon errands when the sun is still putting in work.
The T-Shirt: Keep It Quality
Let’s talk tees.
You already own t-shirts—but for summer, focus on quality over quantity. Go for a medium-weight cotton or blend (we’ll revisit polyesters another time).
Avoid childish graphic tees—unless you are a kid. You know the ones. If you want something visual, keep it clean and minimal. Better yet, go for a textured tee or stick with solid tones. Keep the focus on you—not the oversized cartoon on your chest.
Quick Summer Style Tips
Shorts should not go past your knees—ever.
Flip flops? Personal preference, but I vote no. Opt for slides or espadrilles instead.
Choose sunglasses that fit your face—and flow with your wardrobe. Bonus points for tint coordination.
Unbuttoning your shirt? Sure. Just don’t go overboard. Keep it tasteful.
Hang your clothes after each wear to preserve structure and freshness.
That’s the summer edit.
Stay cool. Stay consistent. And as always, look like you know what you’re doing—because you do.
