You know I love a blue and white moodboard. It just always feels so fresh and classic, but there’s something special about it in the summer. It can be preppy, nautical, sporty, ladylike, whatever you need. From stripes to breezy button downs, swirly skirts to easy pants, shop our favorites now.
With the weather as hot as it’s been, I’ve had dresses on the brain. It’s much easier to throw on a breezy dress and head out the door than it is to mix-and-match separates I won’t sweat through. Tuckernuck, with its Southern roots, can always be counted on affordable, pretty dresses. This navy-and-white embroidered cotton dress, this beautiful floral shirtdress, or this striped halterneck dress are just a few great examples.
This is also the time of year when I wear the most skirts. I can style them with a t-shirt and my favorite strappy sandals for an easy go-to outfit formula. I love this polka dotted blue slip skirt from Alex Mill. It has just the right amount of movement and an elastic waist for the most flattering fit. Tuckernuck’s baby blue and white A-line skirt has a more formal feeling.
Whether you’re in linen trousers or a cute patterned skirt, you need a top that you know works with a lot of the options in your closet. You can’t go wrong with a popover, like this striped linen option, but I also believe you can never have too many striped t-shirts. You can also go for this block printed tee from J.Crew. It feels more special than a regular t-shirt. It’s easy to dress up!
A chunky cotton sweater, like this cropped Alex Mill cardigan or this striped Splendid crewneck, are perfect for beach nights. For something with a little extra flair, I love this navy and white striped sweater with bows from Mint Velvet. All three of those knits will also work just as well as a transitional piece when temperatures start dropping in the fall.
