Euro Summer Essentials
There's a kind of summer dressing that doesn't try to be taken too seriously — and ends up the most covetable thing in the room.
Sorbet softness. Raffia and crochet that look hand-touched and a little bit holiday. Everything below is still available, quietly, before it's gone. Consider this your weekend edit.
The Ibiza Set
POWDER GINGHAM TOP · OMBRÉ TIERED SKIRT
The matched set, and the colorway sibling to the lilac. Powder-blue gingham tie top over a smocked skirt that runs blue into green into mint, tier on tier — movement built right into the piece, and the styling already done for you.
Wear it as the set it wants to be and let it be the entire story — a flat sandal by day, a heel by night. Or break it up: the skirt with a plain white tank, the top with denim.

The Starfish Raffia Bucket
Natural Raffia · Crochet Starfish
Just-back-from-somewhere-good, in bag form. Pale natural raffia woven into a soft bucket, scattered with hand-crocheted starfish in sorbet pastels — powder blue, butter yellow, two shades of pink — like something you’d find washed up somewhere expensive. Texture is the trend this summer, and nothing reads vacation faster than raffia done with a little whimsy.
How to wear it: This is your deck-to-dinner piece. Sling it crossbody on the braided strap and carry it with everything from a swimsuit and sarong to white linen. The charm is that it never looks like you tried too hard, even when every detail is considered — and the pastel stars pick up whatever soft color you’re already wearing.
Knot the top over white linen trousers, sling the raffia crossbody, and let the pastels do all the work. Keep jewelry delicate — small hoops, a thin chain — and add the tortoise sunglasses for the one grown-up note.
The Lilac Gingham Tie Top
Pastel Gingham · Sash Tie Bandeau
Picnic-pretty, but make it editorial. A washed lilac check — soft blue-and-pink threads with little embroidered stars scattered through — cut as a strapless bandeau with a smocked stretch back so it actually stays put. The front is the moment: a long sash that knots and trails, equal parts bow and scarf, the kind of detail that turns a simple top into the whole outfit. That faded lilac is the exact shade of summer this season is chasing.
How to wear it: Pair it with white linen trousers for day, or knot it over the pastel ruffle skirt for full sorbet. Let the tie be the focal point and keep everything else delicate — small hoops, a thin chain, the tortoise sunglasses for one grown-up note. Sweet, but never saccharine.
