Look 1: Daytime Casual with a Twist: This look blends ease and polish with a bold printed top paired with structured denim shorts, white sneakers, and a woven tote. Perfect for strolling farmers markets, grabbing lunch al fresco, or catching a morning flight. The print brings the personality, while the denim keeps it grounded—style meets practicality at its finest. Mix and match the top later in the trip with the coordinating skirt or layer it under a cardigan for cooler evenings.

Look 2: Polished & Effortless: This pairing of a crisp white button-down with the matching mini skirt brings relaxed tailoring to a warm-weather setting. Styled with flat sandals and playful accessories, it's ideal for museum visits, sidewalk cafés, or a sunset dinner. The beauty of this look is in its adaptability—wear the shirt open over a swimsuit, or tuck it into denim shorts for a casual remix.

Look 3: Coordinated & Elevated: Double up on the matching set with the printed top and skirt worn together, topped with a lightweight cardigan and finished with delicate earrings and a pop of color in the woven flats. This outfit leans into statement styling while still feeling comfortable and breezy. It’s perfect for travel days, garden parties, or even a rooftop aperitif in Paris. And if you're packing light, each piece works beautifully on its own throughout the weekend.

Look 1: Relaxed Americana: A breezy white blouse and vintage-inspired wide-leg denim create an easygoing base with just the right amount of structure. The woven red flat and straw tote bring a fun Americana twist, while the statement sunglasses and charm necklace offer personality without being overdone. It’s the perfect look for coastal towns, brunch with friends, or walking around a summer market—and each piece can be styled multiple ways throughout the weekend.

Look 2: Elevated and Iconic: Lean all the way into the Americana aesthetic with a navy Ralph Lauren flag sweater and tailored white shorts. The red accessories tie everything together for a festive yet timeless finish—ideal for watching fireworks, sailing, or simply lounging in style. This look works from day to evening, and the pieces individually mix seamlessly into the rest of your weekend wardrobe. ( shorts are available in petite and plus and a variety of inseams)

Look 3: Classic Picnic Chic: Nothing says summer quite like red gingham. This halter dress is playful yet polished, paired with a woven red flat and matching straw tote for a pop of texture and color.

Later in the weekend, rewear the flats or tote with denim for a completely fresh feel.

Look 1: Airy & Adaptable: A lightweight halter top meets tailored drawstring pants in a look that bridges relaxed and refined. Paired with sleek black sandals, a quilted black crossbody, and gold drop earrings, this outfit feels just as appropriate for an afternoon museum stop as it does for brunch or a breezy dinner al fresco. The mix-and-match potential is strong here—rotate the top or pants with your other looks to stretch your packing power.

Look 2: Refined for the City: This neutral-toned fringe dress is an effortless statement—elevated yet unfussy.

Look 1: Breezy & Polished: This coordinating set in a timeless blue-and-white print offers instant impact without the effort.

Look 2: Fresh & Functional: Balancing comfort and charm, this look features airy white drawstring trousers and the printed blouse, now worn as the hero piece.

Every piece pulls its weight—just swap the top or accessories to create multiple looks across your trip.

Look 1: Understated & Elegant: This ivory shirtdress is a go-to for warm destinations where minimal effort meets maximum impact. Lightweight and refined, it pairs perfectly with strappy flats, bold red sunglasses, and a cream shoulder bag. A beaded necklace adds a global-inspired touch—ideal for wandering adobe-lined streets, stepping into a wine tasting, or catching a golden hour view on a terrace. It also plays well with the other accessories from the capsule for endless versatility.

A playful, wearable outfit with just the right amount of drama. From small towns in New Mexico to tapas bars in Seville, this look feels culturally rich but easy to wear.
