My Summer Vibe Is Country Club Chic—30 Stylish Items I'm Buying First
The past few summers have been all about finding a solid summer-style aesthetic for the season and running with it. Summers past it was the fashion set loved tomato girl aesthetic, who could forget the cottage-core trend, then we have mermaidcore, gorpcore—I could go on and on. But the one aesthetic trend I'm leaning into for summer 2024 is "country club chic."
This aesthetic is all about a classic, expensive-looking, slightly preppy vibe. Think Princess Diana, Blair Waldorf, Ralph Lauren, tennis clubs, and uptown New York. It's a look that's all about quiet luxury. And I've decided—after lots of research—that I'm giving it a shot this summer.
I mean, why not? I look great in tennis whites. And if I swap out my hoop earrings for pearls and my pumps for Mary Janes, I'm already halfway there. Of course, there are a few key pieces that every closet built around the "country club chic" aesthetic has: a tennis dress, white linen pieces, the perfect pair of shorts and, of course, a striped sweater that just screams, "I'm on my way to the Yacht Club."
Lucky for you, I took a deep dive through all my favorite retailers to find pieces that matched the "country club chic" aesthetic I'm going for. Keep scrolling to see which ones I can't wait to wear.
Le Specs sunnies look way pricer than they are, I've been a fan of this pair for years.
Everyones favorite investment tank just got a New England makeover.
I've been eyeing these mules for awhile, I think it's time I add them to my spirng shoe collection. Especially now that they're on sale.
I can already tell this dress is going to be everywhere this summer.
