The look: a minimalist shirt switch-up
Aza Ziegler, the brains behind ‘non-seasonal’ knitwear label Calle Del Mar, draws inspiration from the beauty of the natural world for her vintage-style pieces. Protecting Mother Nature is high on her agenda, too, so each piece is handmade on specialist looms using locally sourced fabrics. With its timeless silhouette in easy-to-style beige, consider this shirt by the LA-based brand a true forever piece.
Style it out in sizzling summer temperatures with a pair of breezy linen Bermuda shorts – this khaki pair by Loulou Studio are suitably uncomplicated yet sophisticated. Add a pop of color by layering Eres’ ochre bikini underneath, which also allows you to peel off the shirt and shorts when the working day is done and catch some evening sun. Loewe’s raffia tote is the perfect size for carrying your sunglasses, a blanket and some all-important SPF.
On cooler days, tuck the shirt into Chloé’s tapered tailored pants. For chic details, consider Burberry’s versatile silk scarf, which can be worn as a neckerchief for a Parisian bourgeoisie vibe, tied around a ponytail if you’re feeling more Upper East Side, or simply knotted nonchalantly on your handbag. Complete this slick city look with Cult Gaia’s kitten heels, decorated with tortoiseshell rings, and a pair of matching sunglasses.
