There’s more than one way to show up for summer.
Our stylists put together looks inspired by cool lake water and beach sunsets with warm and cool tones. Whether you’re hitting the museum or the beach, from air-conditioned venues to the open sea, celebrate your surroundings with looks that reflect the natural beauty of summer.
Look 01 / Womenswear
“This is the outfit you should put on to feel calm, serene, and at peace with the world – it’s almost like you’re on holiday!”
Made for languid summer days people-watching in a street-side cafe or wandering museum exhibits, the looks are comprised of floaty layers that make it easy to add or remove pieces as one moves indoors from the summer heat.
Look 02 / Womenswear
“Rosy hues found in nature are so vibrant – like a pink sunset against that vivid blue of a summer sky. That was the inspiration for this look – the ultimate summer femme.”
This vibrant look was made to stand out amongst blue summer skies and turq uoise seas. Vivacious, with black and beige layers to ground the prints without feeling over-the-top.
Packing for Summer Holiday, decoded

Are you prepared for your trip?
We’re here to make it a cinch. Versatile pieces like this green Goldwin jacket will work for anything the days ahead hold, whether you’re donning sportswear, prints, or something more formal. No matter where your travels take you, versatility (and packing light) is always in style.
Look 01 / Menswear
“Color is a must—green is always a staple for me because it’s a very easy colour that works almost like a neutral in terms of pairing it with colour. Green may not be flashy, but it ties a look together quite nicely.”
Bid adieu to the beleaguered neon-laden reputation that so often haunts sportswear. This season, sportswear works overtime on holiday as holiday wear. This mesh hoodie from Goldwin is a lifesaving layer: breathable, with a drawstring that either tightens the silhouette or relaxes into boxy silhouette.

A. Versatile layering
"To make the most of your luggage space, go for something that will look great in different contexts for both morning and evening, like this cardigan from John Smedley."
To get the most bang for your buck out of your travel pieces, try packing a variety of textures that will also work well for layering. This knit cardigan can be worn tied around your shoulders as a neutral piece or worn by itself on chilly nights.
B. Formal in a flash
"For an instantly put-together look that won't feel out of place in more casual venues, I like to go for a monochrome look. It feels like a suited look in how it simplifies and elongates. "
Run into an unexpected dress code? Go monochrome. These dark olive pants and green cardigan squeeze some polish out of an otherwise casual travel wardrobe.
