Summer Teeth
Animal Attraction
‍
Summer—she’s fierce. Heat, sun, and sand.
June, July, and August have bite.
‍
Your summer wardrobe should sharpen its teeth, too. Introducing texture and pattern to your daily uniform is one of the easiest ways to change the flavor of your summer style.
‍
Keep the basics simple—a white tee shirt (this is currently my daily go-to), a white tank top, a black and white palette—and layer with intent.

A patterned column skirt—Brandon Maxwell’s tiger-print Mercer pencil skirt tops my wish list—offers the perfect foil to your white tank. Add personality with a brightly colored clutch à la Staud’s leaf handbag.
‍
Black, but make it a standout: leather for summer is an unexpected and elevated way to incorporate texture. St. Agni hits it out of the park—no surprise—with their woven leather tank top and matching pencil skirt. Chan Luu’s dove necklace adds a bit of warmth and contrast to the ensemble. Together? Chef’s kiss.
‍
Use a patterned headscarf—I’m coveting Valentino’s polka-dot head wrap—or a textured raffia bag or sandal to give your basic whites a little edge.

Sharpening your accessory game and layering in texture instantly turn up the volume on your daily uniform, creating summer standouts to sink your teeth into. Chomp.
