A Peek Inside Jenni’s Current Closet Rotation
June 24, 2022
It might simply be the abundance of sunshine, but in summer, we’re struck—more so than usual—by an inclination to hit refresh on the way we approach our wardrobe. Whether we’re spending time beachside or just trying to keep cool, our goal is a curated summer capsule wardrobe that makes getting dressed feel as effortless and inspired as the season itself. With that in mind, we asked Jenni for a list of the essentials she currently has on rotation (and the destinations she pairs them with), and with styles that are as timeless and versatile as they are perfectly suited to a leisurely California lifestyle, you can be sure these pieces will serve as inspiration for the rest of the season and beyond.

For Everyday Moments
Jenni’s first take on the summer capsule wardrobe revolves around sunny days that turn into evenings with friends and family. In true Californian fashion, Jenni likes to keep her seasonal wardrobe casual and comfortable—even for post-sunset happenings.
Recently, she’s been living in the Bianca Pant, Linen Crewneck, or Riviera Slip Dress. All three pieces are lightweight and effortless and have the ability to make you look and feel pulled-together instantly. Jenni loves to style the Bianca Pant with a simple tank, oversized knit, or even a collared shirt depending on the destination—making the case for its untapped versatility.
To accessorize, Jenni reaches for her Bourse Bag from The Row or our very own Mini Raffia Tote. How does she know which one to choose? Again, it’s all about the mood and destination. To finish it all off, she turns to the Raffia Mule, which is a new take on a classic pair that exudes the relaxed yet elevated ethos of summer style.

For Travel Days
Summer is synonymous with an on-the-go mentality, which is why Jenni has plenty of travel-ready outfit options in her summer style lineup. From car rides to hours in a plane, the journey is just as important as the destination, so why shouldn’t your outfit reflect that?
For instant comfort that doesn’t skimp on style, she starts her travel day outfits with our Saturday Sweatpant or Marina Culottes, followed by our Summer Basic Tee (the perfect seasonal shirt made from a lightweight hemp blend), and the latest launch from Oak Essentials and MATE the Label: The Sweatshirt.
Jenni keeps the Linen Long Sleeve Shirt from MATE on hand for travel days in case it gets chilly, and then finishes the outfit off with either a pair of New Balance sneakers or our Slider Sneaker—two must-haves for anyone eager to add a casual-cool air to their everyday.

For The Beach
Jenni spends most of her summer on the shores of Lake Tahoe with her family, so having a beach (or lake, to be exact) outfit on rotation is a must. Beyond the basics of sun-inspired activities, her rules of Tahoe dressing are rooted in comfort and versatility, which means almost everything serves more than one purpose.
For days spent in the sun, she opts for our Cotton Canvas Sun Hat and a stylish yet ultra-flattering swimsuit from Matteau. Sunscreen, books, and the like will go into her Woven Raffia Tote, which is durable and large enough to fit almost everything needed for a lakeside afternoon.
For the rest of her look, she gravitates towards two ensembles that have ample styling power: the ever-so versatile Beach Shirt (which Jenni loves to wear over a swimsuit or even with jeans once the sun sets) or a Re/Done Boxy Tee with denim shorts. When paired with our Cotton Crossover Sandal or Leather Braided Strap Sandal, both outfits take on a wear-anywhere element that feels in sync with the California sensibility.

For Celebratory Evenings
The last roundup of pieces in Jenni’s list of summer essentials comes down to one thing: al fresco evenings, sunset cocktails, and plenty of curated dinner parties. Whether she’s hosting or out with friends, her approach is simple: stick to basics that make you look and feel your best.
A new favorite of hers is the Slip Skirt in Polka Dot, which adds a touch of fun to any summer styling. She’ll pair it with a simple knit, or if she’s in the mood for something a bit more structured, she’ll call on a Skims Cotton Rib Bodysuit and a pair of jeans (or our almost-sold-out Relaxed Trouser).
The beauty of these pieces is that you can dress them up or down with ease. For an elevated occasion, she accessorized with the Felix Dome Ring and Iris Diamond Hoops, followed by our Raffia Mule. For a casual look that’s understated yet impactful, she opts for Slip-On Vans and our Cody Cardigan layered atop. Both directions offer up distinct takes on summer styling that feel equally relaxed and refined.
