Weekend Wear: Everything You Need to Stay Killing It at the Cottage
You can breathe, now. The long weekend is here. Whether you’re beach bound, hanging dockside at a cottage, or staying in the city to bask by pool, you’ll need the same things: a trim, bright swim suit, a retro terry polo, shades, sandals, towel, a good read (might we recommend Moby’s new memoir?), and a tote that plays nice with water to carry it all around in.
1. Orlebar Brown Terry Coal Black Towelling Polo, $195
Everything comes back around in fashion, and this is one resurrection we’re pretty excited about. Embrace the ’70s with a terry cloth polo that will keep you looking put together (and dry) even if you’ve just stepped out of the surf.
2. Swims Gavitella Bathing Shorts, $115
Tailored swimwear is back in favour, and for good reason. The slim fit and shorter cut (they should hit anywhere from above the knee to mid-thigh) are more flattering than the overlong, baggy board shorts of years past.
3. Guild Eyewear Classics, $250
These acetate frames are dubbed the Classics thanks to their traditional, flattering shape. But instead of doubling down on their vintage vibe by choosing a tortoiseshell frame, pick a vibrant hue instead.
4. Pendleton Glacier National Park Beach Towel, $65 at Huckberry
Canadians are very familiar with this point blanket pattern. The pattern is splashed across a jacquard towel with a side that is sheared for softness, while the other is looped to be more absorbent.
5. Issey Miyake Geometric Tote Bag, $1,075 at Ssense
Lugging everything with you to the beach and back may feel like a chore, but if you pick the right bag for the task it can make a world of difference. In this case: a water-friendly canvas tote with architectural construction.
6. Bottega Veneta Rope Detail Leather Sandals, $710 at Matches Fashion
A leather sandal is an essential summer luxury, and this pair is elevated by a sporty rope detail that calls to mind sailing knots.
