Packing a suitcase for a Summer escape is a fine art: Each garment has to work multiple ways, and should fit the mood of the destination (and the wearer, naturally). Our founder Marina Cortbawi has perfected the approach with vacation dresses, beach vacation outfits, and versatile pieces that are elegant, breathable and relaxed. Explore her favorite picks for this Summer’s getaways.
“The GENEVA Dress is breezy enough for the hottest days and has a shapeshifting ability to look good in any situation: on the beach, out for al fresco drinks, or exploring a city. And it doesn’t get more crisp or classic than a perfect white vacation dress.”
“I don’t go anywhere without a sun hat in Summer, and the MARBELLA hat packs beautifully into suitcases. The hand smocking sets it apart from the crowd, and it has an adjustable cord on the inside for the perfect fit.”
“Vacation dresses always call to me: They’re lightweight one-and-done outfits that help you look instantly chic. The PARADIS Dress in our newest stripe is what I grab when I’m heading out to dinner—it’s pretty, feminine, and modern.”
“Crisp 100% pima cotton is a perfect vacation choice, and the LOTUS top’s voluminous cropped shape with hand smocking feels both vintage and very of-the-moment. I like to pair this with easy shorts for a relaxed effect.”
“Good denim shorts are crucial for Summer escapes, whether you’re lounging by the ocean, hiking, or just hanging with friends. These have a flattering high rise and wide leg fit.”
“I love this cool, romantic incarnation of our bestselling WALLIS silhouette, which is dressy and sophisticated enough for Summer weddings but still feels unfussy and effortless.”
