The island aesthetic—palm trees, bold florals, and open-weave knits—is taking over this summer. Plan your white sand beach vacation day and embrace a bold summer vibe that works just as well for occasions at home.
When it comes to the outfit fitting for a trip somewhere close to the equator, there are a few key conditions to keep in mind. Firstly, you want lightweight materials—mesh, cotton, and linen—that will stop you from getting sweaty, even in the most humid of locales. You’ll also want to consider roomier silhouettes, that don’t hug so snugly to the skin, ideal for throwing on over a swimsuit or dressing up for a formal beachside occasion. Lastly, playing into the aesthetic means embracing the tropical vibe by way of bold prints or subtle colours. This summer you won’t be playing it safe. Ahead, shop some of our must-have set styles to help you embrace the aesthetic, whether you’re on island time, or still sticking to your city schedule.
