Ahhhhhh. Mid-summer. A fabulous time to get outside, leave footprints in the sand, and get a little ice cream. There’s no question that the heat fluctuations can sometimes leave you feeling a little exhausted, but choosing the correct materials, like lightweight cotton and linen, can keep you confident in knowing the only exhaustion you’ll feel will be from the eventful day you just experienced. Scotch & Soda’s groovy vibe out of Amsterdam is full of lightweight separation pieces that will define your personality and become summer wardrobe staples no matter where you are on the globe. If you’re like me, and oddly still prefer pants in the summer, it’s essential to have a pair or two of linen or linen blend pants that you can easily roll up, and possibly wear commando if you’re bold enough… You don’t have to wear ’em to that crowded concert in the city center, but your morning trip to the cafe might be a little more “breezy.” In addition to your statement shades (that hopefully didn’t leave you looking too much like a raccoon after an afternoon of tanning), a pair of Espadrilles and a vibrant watch will add some flavor to your summer ensembles. Throw in a sweet mint button down to match your half eaten gelato, and you’re all set to bring your beach attire, and your brunch attire, to delightful completion.
