The All-White Edit: Four Outfits for Memorial Day Weekend
Sea NY Top & Pants, Valentino Wedges, Marisa Klass Necklace, Carolina Bucci Earrings, Altuzarra Tote
Memorial Day weekend is this month, plans are starting to stack up, and with it, the official return of white. It’s the first real signal of summer dressing, and this time it comes with a twist: crisp, all-white foundations accented with touches of red and blue that nod to the weekend in a fresh, refined way. It’s about subtle contrast and thoughtful styling—pieces that feel intentional, elevated, and just a little celebratory.


Vacation Mode
A crochet-trimmed camisole with fringe brings texture and movement, paired with sculptural bubble-hem pants that introduce volume and shape. The red woven bag adds a strong point of contrast, while gold jewelry and colorful beads give the look a collected, travel-ready finish.
Backyard Hosting
A lace-trimmed top and coordinating skirt form a soft, cohesive pairing, with scalloped edges and embroidery adding detail up close. A pale blue headscarf brings personality, while embellished flats keep it practical for hosting and moving throughout the day. The result is easy yet put-together, suited for long outdoor gatherings.


Out on the Water
A white cover-up keeps the base light and airy, layered over a simple bikini for a seamless swim-to-dock transition. A striped towel, woven bag, and beaded sandals introduce the red-and-blue palette in a subtle, playful way. It’s effortless and sun-ready, with just enough detail to elevate it beyond the expected.
Dinner Out
A voluminous blouse paired with white trousers creates a more defined silhouette, with shape coming through the sleeve and a clean line through the pant. A red heel adds a striking finish, while blue-toned earrings and a textured bag bring dimension. The look comes across sharp and composed, suited for an evening setting.

The Matching Set, But Make It Swim
Outfit Details: Montce Bikini & Pants, Eliou Necklace (old, similar here), Janessa Leone Hat, Ancient Greek Sandals, Retrosuperfuture Sunglasses
There is something so satisfying about a matching set, that feeling of being put together head to toe with almost zero thinking required. Swimwear makes an especially good case for it. I love when a suit has a second act, a sarong, a pair of pants, or a linen dress cut from the same print, so the move from pool to lunch barely counts as an outfit change. The last thing I want to think through is an elaborate look when the whole point of the day is relaxing by the water.
That is what a set like this solves. It adds polish and intention to beach dressing, building a look full of color and personality that still makes sense for a swim but can carry you through the rest of the day.

Crisp Dresses for Hot Days
Miu Miu Dress & Flats (sold out, similar here and here), Hermes Bag (similar, less expensive here), Janessa Leone Hat
When it comes to getting dressed on the hottest days of summer, a dress has to pass the fabric test before I’ll even consider it. Some days I’m reaching for a look that is a little more polished, one that needs to keep its shape and feel sharp even when the sun is doing the most.
I always look for a few fail-proof dresses to have on hand for this time of year in a mix of cotton poplin, linen, or breathable jersey. Those fabrics stay light on the body while holding their shape and clean lines, while eyelet or delicate embroidery adds texture without extra weight. You get the ease of hardly feeling like you are wearing anything, but the silhouette carries that polished feeling across the finish line, so that getting dressed in the peak of summer feels like a breeze.
