Jenni Kayne Perfectly Captured My Coastal Summer Aesthetic—16 Items I’d Wear Anywhere from Cape Cod to Carmel-by-the-Sea

      As I write to you from the sweltering 100°F in NYC, I'm eagerly awaiting the moment I can be near a body of water other than the Hudson River. My all-linen ensemble, raffia accessories, and flip-flops seem out of place here—it's time to take this style to a quaint coastal town. Locations like Carmel-by-the-Sea and Cape Cod have always influenced my summer wardrobe. With light linen garments, flowing dresses, and classic summer accessories, coastal fashion epitomizes the laid-back essence of summer living. And where do the locals find these items? At Jenni Kayne, of course. Check out my favorite pieces from the brand’s summer collection here.

      **Easy Dresses**

      Sometimes, the best way to cope with the heat is to slip into a cotton or linen dress. The four selections from Jenni Kayne that follow are must-haves for the summer. Additionally, their timeless silhouettes make them worthwhile investments for future seasons.

      **Lightweight Bottoms**

      If I have to wear pants, I opt for linen and cotton styles. I would throw these on over swimsuits at the beach or pair them with a white ribbed tank for a casual look. If you prefer matching sets, keep scrolling for the tops.

      When I'm not in a bikini top, you'll find me in a light button-down or cotton tee. While there are countless options available for these types of tops, the quality of Jenni Kayne stands out from the rest.
