What could be more chic and refined than linen waistcoats to tackle hot summer days in the city? This piece, borrowed from the men’s wardrobe and reinterpreted with new cuts and proportions for women, is making a comeback as the star of sophisticatedly simple summer ensembles.
Wear it alone, without a t-shirt or shirt, and pair it with a tone-on-tone midi skirt, wide 1930s-style Bermuda shorts, or tailored linen trousers. Accessories add the final touch: a straw bag à la Jane Birkin, a tobacco leather bucket bag with no logo, tortoiseshell-frame sunglasses, a pair of yellow gold earrings, and a small vintage watch borrowed or inherited.
