We rounded up four Memorial Day outfits and long weekend essentials so you can focus on the fun without skimping on style.

Backyard Barbeque

It’s not Memorial Day Weekend without some sort of outdoor event, which is why this essential look is at the top of our list. Lightweight yet put-together, the Summer Dress in the seasonal shade of willow paired with our Safari Hat is the ultimate way to spend your weekend celebrating. Even better—this Memorial Day outfit works perfectly whether you’re a host or guest, giving you just the right amount of polish and comfort so you can take on the day.

Fun in the Sun

It’s certainly no secret that we love the Summer Dress, especially when it comes to long weekends spent in the sunshine. Perfect for beach picnics, lakeside adventures, or pool days, the Summer Dress works as a cover-up or standalone outfit. Our style tip? Try it in black—the classic and dressed-up color will elevate any look instantly. All you have to do is add in a pair of sandals and sunglasses and you’ll be well on your way to your most stylish weekend of the season.

All-Day Outing

A crucial element of a Memorial Day outfit is its ability to take you from day to night with ease. That means keeping an eye on effortless layers and sunny day necessities. For your daytime activities, go for our Cotton Canvas Sun Hat with a basic tank or tee, plus a pair of cut-off shorts. Add in a coastal touch with our Canvas Skater Sneaker and the Organic Cotton Cabin Sweater tied around your waist. Once the sun starts to set, this airy knit will keep you warm without getting in the way of your perfectly summery look.
