Relax and luxuriate in Loro Piana’s free-spirited summer essentials
This summer, be sure to savor every magical moment in style with LORO PIANA’s refined, warm-weather essentials – beautifully made using the finest of fabrics, for everyday elegance on the go
Few brands capture that weightless feeling of a new summer season quite like Loro Piana. The Italian label, which is recognised for its savoir-faire in crafting the finest raw materials into fabrics of rare excellence, is renowned for its super-light cashmere and Baby Cashmere, vicuña, the highest-quality wools, cottons and silks – and its spring/summer 2021 collection includes crisp poplin dresses, beachy whites, wearable woven camisoles and gently-tailored shorts that will all make the perfect addition to your summer closet.

The brand, established by the Loro Piana family in northern Italy in 1924, began life as a merchant trader for premium wools. It later became synonymous with on-deck, seaside elegance through its associations with its world famous sailing team. Today, Loro Piana’s fabrics are considered the crème de la crème of luxury for their super-soft handle – and its collection is equally as considered. Bright coral linens perfectly encapsulate the colors of summer and are turned into beautifully cut but easy-to-wear pieces that are ideal for outdoor living. The Loro Piana attention to detail is present in its delicate embroidery, which features on shirt pockets and is splashed across skirts, with each piece of pattern being entirely unique.

Such a considered and thoughtful approach is also applied to the label’s beautiful accessories. A wide-brimmed Panama hat, for instance, is a summer must-have for its ability to offer shade and simultaneously turn any outfit into a look of Riviera chic – and this beach essential is crafted from a crease-resistant straw that gives it both elegance and endurance. Espadrilles are hand-stitched with space left on the heel to write your own name, while striped silk headbands are hand-ironed – simply slip one on after a swim to add polish to your beach-infused waves, or to enjoy a relaxed yet stylish sundowner dinner.
Sandals are crafted from buttery calf-skin leathers so soft and supple you’d be forgiven for forgetting you are wearing any shoes at all. Suedes are finished with water-repellent, stain-resistant finishes that keep them looking pristine no matter how often you wear them. Expertly crafted yet effortless to care for, these are all closet items to wear again and again.
