Terry Puesto: Poolside Crochet and Cotton Terry Resortwear

Terry Puesto builds its resortwear around a specific nostalgia: 1960s and 1970s poolside dressing and long European summers, rendered in crochet and cotton terry rather than costume fabrics. That reference point keeps the line from tipping into fancy dress even when the silhouettes get playful. This edit gathers the crochet coverups, terry shirts and halterneck dresses that carry the idea from the pool to lunch without a costume change.

Sunglasses Under $500: Frames Sorted By Shape

Sunglasses under $500 are a very good place to be opinionated because the frame, not the logo, determines whether they earn daily wear. I start with the shape that balances the face, then look at the bridge, the arm width and the visual weight of the lens. Square and rectangular

Eugenia Kim Hats and Scarves: Raffia, Straw and Crochet

Eugenia Kim's hats and scarves bring sculptural brims, raffia, straw and crochet to warm weather dressing without tipping into costume. The label started in millinery, which is why the shaping and trims still read as considered rather than decorative filler. This edit separates the sunhat and visor shapes built for actual daylight from the scarves and bucket hats that finish a plainer outfit.

Bikinis and One-Pieces

The Swimwear Edit is about choosing swimwear for the way you will actually move, pack, and wear it. I want a swimsuit to hold a clean line, give the body room to move, and look considered when it is worn with something over it. Swim shopping gets muddled when every detail is trea

Bikinis and One-Piece Swimsuits Under $300

Swimwear under $300 should be chosen like equipment for a small wardrobe, because the wrong piece makes every other decision harder. I want a suit that has a clear job, whether that is a one-piece for easy packing, a bikini that can be mixed, or a top with enough personality to d
