The Case (Make That Three Cases)
for Maximalism

In partnership with our friends at Missoma

There’s a time and a place for minimalism; summer 2021, however, is not it. This season, we’re pulling out all the stops: pattern play, intricate beadwork, and rich textures—with plenty of color. After taking a backseat for the past few seasons, our favorite escapist touches (i.e., the splashy, strappy warm-weather accompaniments you didn’t get a chance to indulge in properly last year) are ready to have their moment in the sun.

In Fine Print

Dial in classic summer whites with a vividly patterned bikini peeking out from underneath. Adding a touch (or more) of gold and pearls into the mix is the slickest way to pull it all together.

Bright Idea

Limoncello silk feels like resortwear no matter where you are, and cashmere is coolest on a hot, sticky day—that is, when it comes in vibrant macramé-bag form.

Weaving in Texture

Pull a GP and layer multiple strands to achieve the perfect neck-mess while keeping the rest—bare shoulders, straw hat—low-key. Crocheted pants pulled over a strapless one-piece are a little ’70s and a lot chic. Not to mention: as effortless as it gets.

We hope you enjoy the products recommended here. Our goal is to suggest only things we love and think you might, as well. We also like transparency, so, full disclosure: We may collect a share of sales or other compensation if you purchase through the external links on this page.
