The look: low-key layering
There is beauty in simplicity. And, there is serenity to be gleaned from flinging open your closet in the morning and pulling out uncomplicated pieces that make you look and feel amazing, without overthinking it. This finely ribbed tank top by ATM Anthony Thomas Melillo is a prime example: the ideal base layer for dressing up or down, it will offset neutral tailoring and provides the perfect foundation for chic knits and off-duty denim.
If dressing up is on the agenda, Blazé Milano’s beige pinstriped jacket and coordinating shorts are a no-brainer. You know you’re in safe hands when a label has been founded by three fashion editors; having tried on their fair share of tailoring throughout their careers, Corrada Rodriguez D’Acri, Delfina Pinardi, and Sole Torlonia decided to combine their sartorial prowess to create a brand based on the perfect blazer. Pops of ocher and tan will enliven this look for bright summer days and, come fall, you can simply swap the tank top for a cream turtleneck, and the shorts for tailored pants, for an easy transition into a more autumnal look.
On down days, layer it beneath Giuliva Heritage’s striped polo knit. Made from a linen and silk blend, it is lightweight enough to wear year-round, so play up its preppy, nautical vibe with Bermuda shorts and sporty sandals on warm days, then wear it with straight-legged denim and tennis sneakers in cooler climes. A chain necklace, kitten heels and classic round-framed sunglasses are all you need to elevate the look should an invite for a picnic with friends, or a socially distanced date come your way.
