The Foundations (Tops & Bottoms)
The weight of this is perfect. It gives that slightly oversized, borrowed-from-the-boys look without feeling bulky. I layer it over my shoulders when the ocean breeze hits.
Classic Long-sleeve Rugby Shirt - Blue | Levi's® US
A bit of an investment, but the stripes are incredibly crisp. It doesn’t wrinkle easily in a suitcase, which is a massive win for travel.
Striped Cotton-Poplin Shirt
I’m picky about shorts, but these have a tailored waist and a longer, relaxed leg that feels incredibly sophisticated. They don't cut into you at all.
Linen Shorts
For evenings when it's too chilly for shorts. They hang beautifully and give a very clean, coastal-cruise silhouette.
Pleated High-Waisted Pants
A crisp graphic tee with a subtle collegiate logo. It keeps the nautical look from feeling too stuffy or costume-like.
ANINE BING Lili Tee Link Graphic
Maritime Footwear
You can't do sailorcore without classic boat shoes. I went with the classic tan leather, they molded to my feet after just one afternoon of walking.
Sperry Authentic Original Floating Boat Shoe
I grabbed these to add a sudden pop of color to an all-navy outfit. They are completely waterproof and shockingly comfortable for beach days.
Ancient Greek Sandals Homero Jelly Sandals
My ultimate travel-day shoe. They fit the relaxed, lakehouse aesthetic perfectly and keep your feet warm during flights.
Birkenstock Boston Suede Clogs (Taupe)
Outerwear & Layers
The buttons on this are beautiful. I wear it backwards as a crewneck or open over a simple white vest. The knit is buttery soft.

A structured, medium-wash denim jacket to throw over the rugby shirts. It adds that lived-in, effortless layer you need for evening walks.
Oversized Denim Jacket
Swim & Beach Layers
The crinkle fabric is magical. It stretches to fit perfectly and dries incredibly fast. It doubles as a bodysuit under the linen shorts.
Hunza G Square-Neck Swimsuit
A timeless horizontal stripe. The coverage is great, and it holds its shape perfectly even after multiple dips in the ocean.
Solid & Striped The Rachel Bikini Top & Bottoms
I tie this around my hair to protect it from the wind when we're out on the water, or loop it around the strap of my tote bag.
Silk Monogram Scarf
Bags & Accents
My absolute favorite summer purchase. It fits a book, a towel, and all my essentials without losing its shape. The leather detailing is stunning.
Loewe Medium Anagram Basket Bag
They add an instant retro, high-end yacht club feel to any outfit. They don't slide down my nose when it's humid.
Ray-Ban Clubmaster Classic Sunglasses
A chunkier gold hoop that elevates a simple t-shirt and shorts combo for lunch. They're lightweight so they don't pull on your ears.
Croissant Hoop Earrings
Finding a hat that doesn't get crushed in travel is tough, but this structured straw boater holds up beautifully and offers incredible sun protection.
Lack of Color The Spencer Boater Hat
A simple, high-shine gold chain that sits perfectly right at the collarbone. It’s my daily go-to for layering.
Jenny Bird Tome Medium Chain Necklace
The ultimate travel tote because it folds down to nothing in your suitcase but holds everything when you need an extra bag for day trips.
Longchamp Le Pliage Original Shoulder Bag
Not technically clothing, but it goes on completely invisible and leaves a gorgeous, slightly glowy finish that makes skin look amazing in photos.
