That Unbearable Desire to Go to the Seaside

Guess what you simply must have in your early summer wardrobe? Outfits built around white, lit up by yellow and blue. A white mini-dress is the winning choice: sophisticated, as envisioned by Tom Ford, and directly inspired by the tennis courts for Varley as well as for Brunello Cucinelli, who presents a fresh and elegant dress with a pleated skirt. Don’t think only of nautical style—take a look at what Carolina Herrera proposes: a silk dress that is a true sculpture, for an unforgettable outfit. Gucci, on the other hand, turns the paradigm upside down by using white solely as decoration for its navy-blue mini-dress. For those who prefer trousers, the go-to look is by Max Mara: white straight-leg trousers paired with a sunshine-yellow shirt. Among blouses, tops, and shirts, we were charmed by Fabiana Filippi’s minimalist design with a small collar—but the must-see reference is the intoxicating collection by Dolce & Gabbana, inspired by traditional Italian majolica tiles, which also includes a crop top perfect for enjoying a day by the sea.
