Look, you know I love the LESET Margo Tees*, but in the height of the summer, they can be a little heavy. On those days, I tend to reach for either the LESET Laura Margo Tee*, which has a lighter composition that reads more vintage, or an old St Agni oversized T-shirt that’s 100% linen and feels like you’re wearing nothing. I’ve never really been able to dupe it until I spotted the Navygrey linen range* this week and was like ‘YES, THAT’S IT!!!’. Same composition, easy basics that you can wear sweat-free, all summer long. I went a little wild and ordered practically one of each of the styles:
The Long Sleeve in Navy* because I’d been looking for a navy tee (see last week’s post!)
The V-Neck Long Sleeve in Black*, never owned one and think it would look sexy as hell with a pair of white jeans or linen trousers.
The Boatneck in White* because I simply adore a boatneck and can’t get enough of them.
The Classic Fit Tee in Black*, which looks the most similar to my much-worn St Agni one.
I’ll report back once they’ve arrived!
Stina asked in the comments of last week’s ‘Style Edit’ for blazer recs, so I’ve been on the hunt, and I feel like ME+EM is a good place to start*. I’d say that relaxed office vibes are kind of their bread and butter, and they truly understand the power of an oversized, yet well-fitted blazer. Here are some options for you, Stina!
Three fun new-in things I spotted on NET-A-PORTER (find all my top sale picks here*):
MATTEAU Checked Cotton Shirt* - This feels like the spring/summer version of the checkered shirt. Especially if, like me, you like to stick to your neutrals.
Valesque Parcel Leather-Trim Canvas Tote* - I know you’re seeing these totes everywhere, but this is my favourite one that I’ve spotted so far. Love the colour. Adore the size.
Comme Si Silk Straight-Leg Pants* - Did I link these last week? I think I might just need to bite the bullet. You know I have a strong attachment to this shade of olive green.
I’m not really a summer blouse kinda gal, but I do appreciate a sweet camisole that you could throw on with vintage jeans and flip-flops. I’ve found three:
And finally, three things that would make your simple outfit formulas feel more FUN:
I kind of love the whole paracord strap thing, and these sandals* incorporate it in a very chic way whilst still adding sole cushioning (v.important!!).
A daintier, yet still striking version of the Tiffany Elsa Peretti Buckle Belt? I see it! SIGN ME UP*.
These strap sandals* are giving me Emme Parsons vibes, but for a fraction of the price. I always try to find sandals where the straps don’t cut horizontally across the feet as it feels more elongating.
For paid subscribers this week: A life update! Plus, a look at the outfits I’ve screengrabbed recently that you’ll want to screengrab too, and the looks you styled for me that made colourful loafers ‘click’. Very helpful ideas if you too have a pop of colour that you’re struggling to style…
