Usually, when I’m writing about blue and white, it’s all about the navy. Not this year! Instead of the nautical navy, it’s about lighter and brighter summery shades. Aquamarines, turquoises, and all the pretty pastel shades. From date night dresses to fun accessories, shop the summer blue and white mood board now.
If I’m being honest, I got the inspiration from Banana Republic’s summer collection. There’s a very specific shade of sky blue that I’m so drawn to. Look at this silky, slinky resort shirt, this light-as-a-feather cashmere sweater, and this square neck linen dress. Just looking at them makes me happy! And of course, J.Crew can be counted on for coastal, nostalgic pieces like this darling drop-waist striped dress, linen striped pants with an elastic waist for maximum comfort, or a perfectly oversized button down.
Everybody loves a stripe in the summer, and there are so many ways to wear them. A more casual, striped tee shirt like this French-y one from Tuckernuck or this sportier AYR shirt. For coastal button down that doubles as a coverup, I love Alex Mill’s collarless option or this beachy AYR linen shirt. For a shirt you can dress up with your favorite jeans, this Veronica Beard shirt with contrast cuffs and collar is a knockout.
We’re not just talking about clothes, either. Blue and white is a mindset you can bring with you anywhere. On the pickleball court, load up an exceptionally cute Mark and Graham patterned racquet in this cute Ame & Lulu striped canvas bag. For your next dinner party, whether inside or out, throw down this summery blue-and-white cotton tablecloth from Modafleur. Or swap out your usual wine glasses for these beautiful blue goblets from Estelle colored glass.
