Whether you are going to the south of France or around the corner to your friends backyard, a button-up is essential in achieving that ‘chic summer vacation’ vibe. Pair it with an aperol spritz and your favorite sunnies…and you are officially living the high life.

Here are some vacation worthy outfits to practice some style therapy on with your button-up (refer to last week’s post if you don’t know what that means).
What to wear to the beach? Tie your button up around your waist for a sarong-like skirt vibe a la Emily Oberg.
What to wear when you are walking up and down the cobblestones and then out for dinner? Wear your button-up open over a slip dress. Love Monica Ainley’s mix of fun summer colours in this outfit…inspo to add some light pink and green to your closet this summer!
Or throw your button-up over your swimsuit for the wine/charcuterie board chill at 4pm…Mari Giudicelli looking chic in her Kule striped shirt ($298) and a pair of woven sandals ($580).
Roaming the streets and shopping? Pair your button-up with denim shorts, black leather sandals and a Loewe basket bag ($815 cad)…the bag is the perfect shape to hold your purchases that you will keep for years to come because Troupe has made you a better shopper (you’re welcome).
Not a traditional button-up but also honorable mention to this amazing vacation piece I have been eyeing and can be worn all the same ways as above…
Emily Levine Veenu Kaftan $110 usd. Also great with boxer shorts during the day, or biker shorts, or leggings with some fisherman sandals, or jeans…literally with anything.
Some more goodies that are great for vacation or every day:
1. Dries Van Noten shorts $530…great with a bathing suit, or dress them up for dinner with a white tee shirt, black blazer, and some thick gold hoops. 2. Casa Raki linen wide-leg striped trousers $330…elastic waistband + vacation = yes please 3. Sophie Buhai thick gold hoops on sale $287 4. Mango brown satin shirt dress $90…with the right accessories you can even wear this to a wedding 5. ATP sandals on sale $312…love a minimal black leather slide 6. Toteme silk wrap $580…pricey but it’s so multi-purpose! Silk scarves are always an essential vacation piece for me too because it’s an easy extra layer to bring out at night. There is nothing less chic than being cold. (you know when you are out for dinner and it’s chilly at night and you aren’t dressed warm enough and you are sad and miserable…crouched over trying to contain your body heat…worst!)
If you have any trips coming up, let’s get packing! I am booking into July so get in touch to book a packing session so we can get you vacation-ready.
I had promised to add in some good black slip skirts to this newsletter but I ran out of room on this one…stay tuned for next week!
