Ever since I laid eyes on this crisp, striped shirt ($80), I’ve been inclined towards crisp, preppy separates — the kind of thing that a ritzy Brit might wear on winter holiday in the Bahamas, with a Panama hat ($58) and some white linen shorts ($59):
I love it with my favorite pair of K. Jacques ($245) — or get the look for less with these:
Or, how about this patio dress from new designer Mark D. Sikes to throw over a bikini ($225) or chill while sipping rose as the sun sets? (Get the look for less with this J. Crew style.)
Magical with those Isabel Marant lace-up sandals ($495) — get the look for less with these or these:

Or maybe this embroidered blue-and-white frock (Sea, $435):
Stunning with some fresh white Jack Rogers (on sale for $88):
And, lastly, this Alice McCall crop top ($175), gladiator sandals of my dreams (Valentino, $1,345), linen boy-shirt ($78), and a linen monogrammed shoe bag (Julia B., $150):
