The look: In short

Whether your idea of a dream vacation involves sun-soaked days spent on the beach or scenic walks through verdant countryside, when it comes to packing, a pair of tailored shorts should be considered non-negotiable. LA-based label RTA’s high-waisted designs provide the perfect starting point for innumerable getaway looks – paired with a Breton-striped one-piece and finished with straw accessories, they add androgynous edge to your average shoreside outfit. However, styled with a crisp cotton shirt, simple sweater and white plimsolls, they utterly transform, creating a preppy, retro look worthy of Jacqueline Onassis herself.
