I have very few commitments in the summer so I can dress exactly as I choose - weather permitting.</p> <p>Soothing's an interesting word, Style Fan - I think cool colours for my colouring and for the hot, humid weather - we need to be soothed ...</p> <p>Irina, I had strayed from linen for quite a while but Gap's offerings have been good the last couple of years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-essentials#post-1787676 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 21:26:41 +0000 kerry 1787676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I realized doing AM's capsule naming really helped me hone my essentials for spring/summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-essentials#post-1787413 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 13:18:28 +0000 Suz 1787413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a terrific list and your style looks super cohesive and integrated. I must give those Uniglo pants a try.&nbsp;</p> <p>Our summer essentials are very similar. I did it cross-seasonally in my analysis and never did the complete thing, but mine would include navy and white boatneck linen tee, Mariner stripe sweater, white and denim shorts, and white and navy linen pants like the ones you show. Plus maybe a navy tube skirt. And slip on sandals.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-essentials#post-1787270 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 01:00:54 +0000 Irina 1787270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! I have the linen top and the linen boyfriend shirt from GAP, mine are in white both are my essentials. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-essentials#post-1787269 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 00:45:20 +0000 Style Fan 1787269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very soothing colour palette Kerry.&nbsp; I agree that in the summer we need 100% cotton.&nbsp; Or linen.&nbsp; Love the birks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-essentials#post-1787258 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 00:13:58 +0000 Anonymous 1787258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With the exception of the birkenstocks, your essential wardrobe items speak to me. &nbsp;Everything says modern comfort. &nbsp;The colors. &nbsp;The fabrics. &nbsp;Everything just works. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-essentials#post-1787248 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 23:55:45 +0000 kerry 1787248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, oh Greyscale, I'm back at Uniqlo tomorrow to return 2 items and exchange one for my daughter, I'll have to take a look at those denim joggers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-essentials#post-1787245 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 23:44:52 +0000 Greyscale 1787245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny, our styles are fairly different and yet I own a surprising number of the same things! (The grey Gap linen top, and the Gap linen boyfriend shirt though mine is black.)</p> <p>Uniqlo also has some new denim joggers that you might like, not in the ILDF range. They come in black and a few blue shades. I tried them on yesterday and really liked them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-essentials#post-1787227 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 22:11:29 +0000 Angie 1787227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YOU NAILED IT. <b>Well done.&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-essentials#post-1787180 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 20:25:29 +0000 kerry 1787180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>always trying, all cotton makes such a difference from even a hint of Lycra for staying cool.</p> <p>Ryce, give the Uniqlo pants a try. I don't love drawstring either but the design of the waistband is interesting. There's a button and zipper. Also the elastic is only in the back half of the waist band so unless you really cinched the front stays smooth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-essentials#post-1787173 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 19:58:53 +0000 Anonymous 1787173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>kerry</b>, you and I are kindred spirits! &nbsp;My summer casual wardrobe essentials are amazing similar to these. &nbsp;I wish J Crew would bring back those Andie shorts - I need a couple of replacements for pairs that I have very nearly worn out. &nbsp;I, too, live in my Birks and slip on sneaks in summer, though mine are the Gizeh and Splendid Seaside, both of which happen to fit my foot very well. &nbsp;One of my two shopping goals for the coming months is to add more woven linen and/or cotton tops like those two Gap ones. &nbsp;<br />Meanwhile, those Uniqlo pants are so good-looking, I am tempted to give them a whirl despite my intense dislike on myself of drawstring waistbands. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-essentials#post-1787144 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 18:32:12 +0000 always trying 1787144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My warmer to hot weather essentials are 100% cotton everything for really casual wear. these are what I call mostly just for comfort wear, so not picky about colors etc. as some that fit my needs are not always easy to find.&nbsp; Next some things like capri or crop length pants that are not like glue on my legs. This means no spandex, or its equivalent, and no polyester.&nbsp; always try to also find something neater than wrinkly and baggy linen..also not easy to find.&nbsp; Comfy flip flops and sandals are easy to find and I always have an adequate number of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springsummer-essentials#post-1787133 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 18:03:04 +0000 kerry 1787133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is very little in my wardrobe that transcends all 4 seasons in my climate so an essentials list for spring/summer is different from fall/winter and to be honest I don't want to think about fall/winter dressing right now as the snow falls outside! so that list will have to be considered another day.</p> <p>Birks and slip-on sneaks in light neutrals<br /> Joggers in cotton, linen or blend - grey, blue<br /> All cotton or linen 3/4 sleeve and short sleeve tops in white, blue and grey<br /> Cotton shorts with 6-inch inseam cuffed once in pinks and blues (favourite ones from Gap not shown)<br /> Sweatshirt or hoodie in grey, cream or blue - solid or striped</p> <p>ETA I took out pink shorts as I think they're more statement. </p>
