European summer essentials for August include linen pants, a cotton-poplin shirt and a raffia tote. I built the list around easy pieces I would wear on repeat.
European Summer Essentials: A Packing List for August
European summer wardrobe essentials, to me, mean a crisp cotton-poplin shirt, linen straight-leg pants, and a raffia tote that can handle the day. This edit adds a Tropical Gaucha swimsuit, an organic cotton dress, and breezy voile from labels including NILI LOTAN, TOVE, Miguelina, and STAUD. I went deeper on a related idea in Black in August: Seven Ways to Make It Feel Like Summer.
