The Ultimate Summer Wardrobe

July 6, 2023

In the summer heat, we have a tendency to reach for what’s easiest–but from Jenni’s perspective, there’s no need to skimp on style. With a curated closet of pieces that fuse essential summer comfort with a stylist’s eye, a refined state of summer style is simply the natural way of being. Wondering how she does it? Read on for the summer pieces she can’t get enough of.

The Ultimate Summer Wardrobe

Seasonal Simplicity

Regardless of seasons, it wouldn’t be a true capsule of Jenni’s without at least one light cardigan. This summer, it’s all eyes on the Cropped Cocoon Cardigan. In a luxurious cotton linen blend—plus two front pockets—it’s an instant staple. Take a note from Jenni’s style book and pair it with everything this season, from floaty dresses and oversized trousers to every kind of classic denim.

When it comes to summer dresses, Jenni tries not to play favorites—but at the end of the day, there’s always one she’s most likely to wear. With a classic v-neck and truly comfortable fit (she loves an Empire waist-inspired silhouette), it’s so easy for her to throw the Cove Dress on and be on her way in effortless style. Not to mention—it also has pockets.

For an unfussy, perfect-for-the-season finishing touch, Jenni’s currently partial to the Leather Mila Sandal. Featuring hand-braided leather, it’s a refined nod to the quintessential summer flip flop—and in California especially, no summer wardrobe is complete without a pair.

Everyday Ease

For days that lend themselves to a particularly laid-back air, Jenni turns to the Cashmere Boyfriend Sweater. Oversized but put-together nonetheless, it’s her favorite way to look and feel her best in one swift style choice. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that it goes so seamlessly with her favorite pair of summer trousers.

In summer months, Jenni’s secret to no-sweat style on a literal and figurative level, lies in elevated basics in breathable blends. In a structured yet perfectly stretchy Italian cotton twill, the Ranger Trouser is easily the most dynamic piece in any of Jenni’s outfit formulas. Whether you prefer a relaxed silhouette or a more buttoned-up approach to summer style, it’s the pair to build every look around.

Instant Classics

Designed in collaboration with Jenni’s personal favorites, Saint James, the Rue Drop Shoulder Tee is coastal-inspired style at its peak. Jenni loves this classic Breton stripe tee for its casual flair and French linen comfort.

It may go without saying, but we’ll say it anyway—once you’ve worn the Hutton Slide Sandal, there’s simply no wardrobe without it. Laid-back and made to last, they’re the definition of a Jenni signature. Whether with her everyday uniform or dressing down more formal summer looks, they’re quickly becoming her most worn in any season.
