Sea Salt
‍
Steeped in sea and sand, summer marries foamy blues, sun-washed beiges, and crisp ivories—colors that practically whisper, “Hamptons summer.”
‍
It’s the exhale your spring uniform takes as it drifts into sunnier, sandier days.
‍
Swap your denim for its shorter sibling, the frayed cutoff. Trade your buttoned-up blazer for softer summer cardigans or breezy boleros. The Elder Statesman striped cashmere cardigan is chef’s kiss with a denim cutoff or a boyfriend jean. Layer it over an off-white tank, like Matteau’s knit-ribbed version.
‍
Kick off your ballet flats and slide into a flip-flop instead. Le Monde Béryl’s flat thong sandal in blue croc-effect leather delivers just the right amount of ocean-kissed charm. Or opt for a deeper chocolate-brown thong sandal to ground an otherwise sun-washed palette. Miu Miu’s thong sandals fit the bill.
‍
Tees give way to tanks and swimsuits. A one-piece can easily step in for a tee or bodysuit. Pair it with a pareo or a chic white sheer balloon pant. I’m a fan of The Frankie Shop’s Mio, which comes in three colors.
‍
The finishing touch? In summer, it’s definitely raffia. Layer raffia accessories—think sun hats, shoes, and bags—to complete the perfect undone summer uniform.
