5 GWYN Favorites to Carry You from Summer to Fall
Our goal with GWYN is to create the kind of timeless pieces you can wear year after year. And the beauty of many of these pieces is that you can also wear them season after season. To wit: the five pieces below, which we’ve been leaning on throughout the steamier months—and plan to keep in rotation for months to come.
The Striped Button-Up
What’s more classic than a blue-striped button-up? This one, cut from crisp Italian cotton poplin, is designed with a relaxed fit and finished with dialed-in details, like white grosgrain trim, mother-of-pearl buttons, and a GWYN logo discreetly embroidered at the hip. Wear it now with cutoffs or boxers (our rec? Teddy, done in the same fabric), then tuck it into your favorite denim or office-ready trousers when autumn (finally) rolls around.
The Crisp White Jean
Long (long) gone are the days when white jeans were reserved for the summer months. The right pair can transition seamlessly from boat days and beach bonfires to cozier pursuits, like apple-picking and cocoa-sipping. This pair has a midrise and a slim, straight fit. We like them paired with a contrasting top in a rich, saturated hue. (Looking for options? Keep scrolling...)
The Half-Zip
Augusta is the very definition of a seasonproof sweater. Knit from a gorgeously soft cotton-cashmere blend in an ultrafine gauge, it’s nicely substantial but still breathable. As for that burnt red hue: We love how it pops paired with white denim, but it also plays well with the darker rinses that will come into play as the leaves start to change.
The Flowy Skirt
A light, airy cotton skirt might seem like it is a summer-only staple, but this one—cut from Italian cotton with a high waist and a swishy, midcalf hem—stays relevant even as the temperatures drop when styled with a cozy knit. Our favorite things about it? The hidden side seam pockets and the contrast of the vertical and horizontal stripes.
The Barn Jacket
A barn coat is an unsurprising pick for fall, but this one feels more summer-coded than others of its ilk, thanks to the light, creamy hue. You’ll want to keep reaching for it long after you’ve stowed away your swimsuits, though. It has all the requisite barn jacket elements: straight fit, corduroy collar, and ample pocket space, including two smart two-way pockets at the hip.
