5 Looks for Summer, As Styled by Jenni

July 14, 2022

As summer heat sets in, our style sensibilities can be summed up with just a few notions—effortless, streamlined, and no-sweat in every sense of the word. With our wardrobes in need of a reset, we went to Jenni—the veritable authority on breezy, California-inspired outfitting—for a dose of summer outfits suited for all sorts of activities. From her most versatile piece to the silhouettes she relies on for sunnier days, here’s how she styles a put-together season with complete ease. Spoiler: simplicity is everything.

5 Looks for Summer, As Styled by Jenni

Look 1: Casual Comfort

When it comes to summer outfits, there’s one piece that Jenni calls on for effortless, everyday dressing: the Cove Dress. Now in a new Navy Stripe, this flowy and flattering style is perfect for all sorts of seasonal activities, whether you’re running errands or hosting friends and family. Featuring pockets and a slight v-neck, this piece combines casual and dressed-up seamlessly. Do as Jenni does and pair it with some sneakers for a timeless take on everyday style.

Look 2: Patterned Perfection

Nothing says summer like a dress and sweater pairing that will take you from lively afternoons to breezy evenings with ease. That’s why more times than not, you’ll find Jenni in this exact pairing—with our Cable Cardigan and Slip Dress in Caramel Dot to be exact. The textural Cable Cardigan is fashioned from lightweight cotton, which makes it the ideal layer to keep on hand for anything and everything, while the patterned power of our classic Slip Dress brings a celebrated touch to a simple style.

Look 3: The One-Step Outfit

While we think every one of our summer-ready dresses deserve a place in your wardrobe, there’s something to be said about the simplicity and no-nonsense ability of the Rio Slip Dress. Jenni calls on this style—now in the must-have shade of Ink—for everything from casual days at home and evenings out with friends. Jenni prefers to style this piece with understated sandals and our Woven Raffia Tote, curating a look that is the definition of all things summertime.

Look 4: Monochrome Ease

One of Jenni’s tenets of summer outfitting (and every season for that matter) rests in versatility. Enter the Beach Shirt—an easy basic that breathes new life into nearly every look thanks to its ability to be styled with anything. Jenni will wear this to the lake or pool for a day in the sun, or take it into her everyday by styling it with jeans or trousers for a fresh outlook on summer silhouettes. Its subtle shadow stripe and relaxed fit turn it into a closet staple that is a must-have in any seasonal curation.

Look 5: Textural & Refined

Last on Jenni’s list of summer outfits is a look that combines the best of the season in the form of texture and forecast-focused essentials. From office days to weekend festivities, Jenni’s been relying on the relaxed Cruise Boyfriend Sweater for a weightless layer that welcomes all-day layering. To complete the look, she turns to the Raffia Mule and Mini Raffia Tote—two best-selling pieces that add a touch of seasonality to any ensemble. Follow Jenni’s lead and add in a piece of Jenni Kayne Jewelry to tie the entire look together in a fashion that feels elevated and entirely Californian.
