Welcome to the phase when the sun is burning super hot, trees are illuminating bright green, flowers are blooming in their striking colors! But while the return of something that at least closely resembles summer is something to be heralded, attention must once again be turned towards our summer wardrobes. After two summers of stop-and-start lockdowns, there’s a high chance you’re lacking a few key essentials to make getting dressed for the beach in the heat a breeze. Ever-increasing temperatures makes skin-to-fabric contact less and less bearable, but a schedule packed with beaches, outdoor parties, and vacations means that your outfits are getting more eyeballs than ever. So the summer uniform has to embody that elusive combination of coolness (stylish and lightweight), functionality, and adventure-friendly. In case the sun is blinding your vision and your sartorial clarity, we’ve rounded up the key items that every fashion insider has lining the inner sanctums of their seasonal wardrobes to take the stress out of summertime styling!

Nael Swimwear’s philosophy is nurtured by 3 key concepts: fashion, sustainability, and travel. A part of their fabrics come from deadstocks from their suppliers that would otherwise land onto landfills. They give them a second life through recycling, avoiding its destruction and the related contamination.

In addition, they use recycled fibers from plastic bottles. Their soft fabric is OEKO-TEX 100 certificates, meaning their pieces are free of toxins and substances that are harmful to our health, skins and the environment.

This summer is all about easy-to-wear, comfortable, and effortless style “clean girl aesthetic,” everything linen, and Coastal Grandmother trends reigning supreme. The crochet trend falls right in line with that effortless cool-girl aesthetic. It’s unique yet still easy, breezy, and attainable.

Extend your summer afternoons with this crochet set by Nael, handmade in Galicia and made-to-order, its composition is 100% organic cotton yarn. From home decor to clothing, funky and fun colors, patterns, and textures (like knits and crochet) are making their way into mainstream style.

Beach Bags are always a must-have for this season and of course, a staple for all of those holiday vacations. This statement piece will take a minimal outfit to stand out and be unforgettable within seconds. Nael lets you get a beach bag that does both: hold your beach essentials and keep them cool.

It combines the founders love for the ocean with a lifelong dedication to art & design. They find beauty in keeping their coastlines clean and upcycling reclaimed oceanplastics to make limited edition treasures & sustainable fine jewelry.

Each piece echoes their love for a quiet life lived slowly on an island in the middle of nowhere.
