Summer Neutrals

This post is in partnership with J.Crew.

J.Crew’s freshly-dropped June Collection feels like a breath of salt-tinged summer air: imagine billowy whites that catch every ocean breeze, easy knits and gauzy skirts that practically glow under the sun. Their new lineup of dresses runs the gamut from dreamy eyelet numbers to effortless crochet styles—each one cut with just enough swing for hot city streets or barefoot seaside dinners. And because no warm-weather wardrobe is complete without a touch of texture, they sprinkled in raffia and capiz shell details over everything: from whimsical bags to sleek slides that turn even a white-tee-and-jeans day into a little vacation moment. Together, it’s the kind of capsule that promises to keep you cool, pulled-together, and unmistakably chic all season long.

Below I've put together some of my favorite neutral outfit ideas from their June Collection:

• I love an all white look for a warm weather date night, and this capiz shell tank top shines next to simple cream-colored trousers. (Size up in the pants!) I love this raffia clutch for carrying date night essentials and finished off the look with chic flats.
• This classic boyfriend cardigan gets a little upgrade from nautical inspired embroidered details. It looks great over your shoulders with this beautiful eyelet sundress (currently 50% off!), or pair with a bikini and these slouchy linen trousers (on sale for under $80) for a day at the beach.
• The criss-cross back on this dress (on sale!) is just beautiful - perfect for a summer picnic with a big blue and white quilt spread in the shade of a tree. (Or if you wear it out to dinner, tuck this fab clutch under your arm!)
• This fringed black dress is perfect for a night out on the town. I love it with these heels (size down 1/2 size) and a chunky gold hoop earring.
