“In the Navy, yes, you can sail the seven seas. In the Navy, yes, you can put your mind at ease….” Village People
Is there a way to dress Summer which is the essence of chic. A simple way in which just a shirt or a t-shirt, a swimsuit navy, a straw hat, a pair of ray ban … to be (or become) irresistibly elegant.
Easy pieces….
Costume Olympic impeccably cut
Straw bags
Hats Borsalino
A masculine touch …
Summer is often the scene of bad taste, thanks to the heat, fatigue, a natural predisposition (given the times where we live….) to sloppiness, that affects just about anyone. Instead if we think, even more of Winter, Summer is easy to be in place. They are few essential items and almost all basic, easily available.
Simply elegant ….
Simply elegant ….
A white top, shirt or t-shirt; white or navy pants, wide shape and a little ‘male; a pair of jeans, always soft or skinny; a straw hat with a wide brim; a pair of glasses in tortoise, a classical model; a pair of flat shoes, white sneakers, in canvas or boat mood shoes…, and a beautiful swimsuit, navy or black. These few garments / accessories are timeless, so it pays to spend a little more, the investment will prove to be a “capital”. However you can certainly find something similar in the low-cost chains or supermarkets.

Even the color palette is almost monochrome, you can not go wrong (or it would be difficult to do so) are in fact the shades of navy, white, blue and ecru colors of this kind of clothing or style of dress …
My line of swimwear, already in 1997, sought to have these features

It is not always the particularity or redundancy to make a nice piece of clothing, sometimes, indeed often, simplicity is (or would be) the best solution.
Good life to all!
