The look: Vacation utility

The perfect fusion of fashion-forward and functional, Mara Hoffman’s linen jacket is proof that utility dressing doesn’t have to be reserved solely for daytime or off-duty outfits. Its beauty lies in its versatility, making it a suitcase essential come vacation season. Team with a pair of chic tailored shorts, minimal pool slides and Alaïa’s Jackie O-style sunglasses for a timeless summer-in-the-city look; after dark, dial up the drama with the jet set’s favorite, silk palazzo pants – Stella McCartney’s printed designs were made for balmy island evenings. Complete your outfit with a sprinkling of delicate gold jewelry and you’ll be ready for wherever the night leads you.
