We put together this look before we really had a theme. Some outfits are easy to define. Others just work. This falls squarely into the latter category: relaxed without looking sloppy, polished without feeling precious. It’s the kind of combination that makes getting dressed in the summer feel effortless. Start with some wide-leg chinos secured with a braided belt, topped with a breezy plaid shirt layered over a tank (and tucked in just enough to keep things sharp). Then add a pair of timeless sunglasses and a piece of jewelry with a little personality, and you’ve got a look that can handle just about anything on your calendar, from a day at the office to a backyard gathering that stretches well past sunset.
