White. In daylight. Don't get used to it. A white one-shoulder bodysuit with the waist carved out, tucked into oatmeal linen wide-leg trousers, under a straw hat with a serious brim. The hat is not a mood. It's shade. Wear it by a pool, flat sandals, nothing else.

A white one-shoulder bodysuit with a carved-out waist, tucked into oatmeal linen trousers and shaded by a wide straw brim.

The bodysuit is white stretch jersey cut on a single strap, with a teardrop cut-out at the neckline and a second cut-out at the waist. It is a swimsuit that has decided to be a top. The trousers are oatmeal linen, high-waisted with belt loops and a flat front, wide enough in the leg to move air and long enough to graze the floor.

Worn here on a stone terrace above the water, barefoot, with a wide-brimmed straw hat and dark aviators doing the work of a parasol. White on oatmeal keeps the palette quiet; the cut-outs keep it from being polite. It goes from the lounger to lunch without a change, which is the entire argument for linen in August. Flat leather sandals if the restaurant insists on shoes.

"Linen creases. That is how everyone knows it is real."

  • Keep the palette to white and oatmeal
  • Barefoot or flat leather sandals, nothing with a heel
  • Tuck the bodysuit high so the waist cut-out shows
  • A wide brim does more than any accessory
