On Holiday

A voluminous dress is casual yet elegant—simply add a sexy sandal and neutral clutch.

Shield your visage with a wide-brimmed hat with subtle detailing.

Colorful hand-crocheted trim adds personal flair to a flattering one-piece.

Wear-with-everything slides complement a myriad of looks from swimwear to sundresses to shorts.

A warm-weather mainstay, embroidered linen tunics are just as cool over swimsuits as they are when teamed with cutoffs.

Boasting the season's most coveted silhouette via its high-neck top, a neutral crochet bikini exudes classic-cool on its own or layered beneath a caftan.

Lace-up sandals tie any vacation look together, from miniskirts to maxi dresses.

For a getaway dinner, a flowing printed frock is festive when paired with delicate jewelry.
