What we’re wearing, styling and shopping this August.
The Matching Set
The matching set is staying firmly in our wardrobe for August.
It’s one of those summer pieces that works for almost anything the month has planned—from travel days and weekends away to lunch in the city or an evening by the water. Wear the full set together, or separate the pieces depending on the day.
Our Keep It Simple Set is made primarily from cotton, with a relaxed shirt and pants that feel soft and breathable against the skin.
For warmer August days, wear it with sandals, a basket bag and the shirt slightly open. On cooler days, add loafers and a light knit—or simply throw the shirt over a tank when the temperature changes.
The Black Summer Dress
The black dress deserves a place in the August wardrobe.
While summer dressing is often associated with lighter colors, black feels particularly good in August. It still works for the height of summer, but has a slightly different mood for late dinners, evenings out and those occasions when you want something a little more dressed up.
Our Girlfriend Dress in Black is made from a linen and cotton blend, with a strapless A-line silhouette, hidden side pockets and a softly shirred back.
Keep it simple during the day with flat sandals and a woven bag, then add jewelry, a small bag and a heel for dinner.
Natural Fabrics
August is still a month for cotton and linen.
Warm afternoons, travel, days in the city and changing temperatures make breathable fabrics particularly good to have in the wardrobe. Cotton and linen allow air to circulate and absorb moisture, helping them feel comfortable against the skin when the temperature rises.
The Girlfriend Dress is made from a linen and cotton blend, while the Keep It Simple Set is made primarily from cotton.
For August, we’re keeping the styling simple: natural fabrics, relaxed silhouettes and as few layers as the weather allows.
A Little More Chocolate
One color we’ll be wearing more of this August: chocolate brown.
Deeper browns have become a modern alternative to black, and August is a particularly good month to introduce them. They have the richness of a darker neutral while still looking beautiful with the colors and textures of summer.
Our Keep It Simple Set in Chocolate can be worn as a full monochrome look or separated throughout the month.
Pair it with cream, white, raffia and gold on sunny days. Wear the shirt open over a tank or swimwear, style the pants with a simple top, or wear the full set with sandals for an easy August evening.
