Summer dressing sounds simple until you're actually standing in front of your closet sweating, running late, and wearing the same denim shorts you've had since 2021.
Yikes. But don’t worry. We've been there.
Princess Polly's summer lineup is basically the intervention you didn't know you needed. From linen blends, head-to-toe red sets, to even plaid prints, they are all about the pieces that actually make getting dressed fun again.
Here's how to wear all of it:
Fit for Farmer’s Market Sundays
You have a tote. You're getting an iced coffee. You want to look cute without looking like you tried.
The Baseline Scoop Rib Tee in White is your go-to: slightly cropped, scoop neck, just the right amount of stretch, and made from 95% reclaimed cotton so it's easy on your conscience too.
Tuck it into the Rhode Mini Skort in Ivory, and you're done with the cutest all-white ensemble that feels so Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. The low-rise fit and belt-looped waist give it a polished feel, the ramie-cotton blend keeps you from overheating, and the built-in shorts mean you can actually move through life without thinking about it.
Fit For Brunch with the Girls
You made an 11:30 booking, and you're going to be photographed for the gram. Let's not wing it.
The Dorothee Playsuit in Black is a one-and-done outfit in the best way. What makes it special is the fabric: 55% linen, 45% cotton, so it actually breathes and moves instead of clinging to you the second it gets warm.
The pleated detail and flowy silhouette are elegant without being stuffy, and the scoop neckline keeps it from ever feeling too formal.
Pair it with some ballerina flats, and you have the easiest, daintiest look!
Fit for the Perfect Day Trip with a View
Going somewhere with a nice view? Well, of course, you’re going to need the perfect match of an outfit!
The Wilhelmina Blouse Top in Red is a linen-blend puff sleeve top with a self-tie front and ruched bust. It’s simply meant to be packed along for the perfect day trips in the summer.
Pair it with the Gulliver Tie Side Mini Skort in Red for a full red moment that's going to turn heads from the elevator to the rooftop. The wrap-around silhouette and built-in shorts make it practical too, which is always a bonus.
To make this look complete, all you need is some jewelry. Finish with the Caught Up Shell Pendant Necklace. The beaded, adjustable shell pendant adds just enough of a summer vacation vibe to pull everything together.
Fit for the “Woke Up Like This” Cool Girl
You're not trying to look like Hailey Bieber. It just kind of happened…
The NY Trackstar Shorts in Red are exactly what they sound like — sporty, graphic, a little New York, a lot effortless. Elasticated waist, tie fastening, "New York 98" detail.
Throw them on with a white boxy crop tee and your best sneakers and you have an outfit that looks intentional without taking more than three minutes to put together.
Fit for the Model Off Duty
Want to look like you just came off the streets of Los Angeles?
The Afterglow Mini Short in Navy/Plaid is the absolute coolest, with the plaid print and removable buckle belt making them look way more put-together than a basic short, and the adjustable length means you can style them however you're feeling that day.
If you want to go a little more chic and classic, go for the Bessi Cotton Skort in Black — a denim micro skort with a wrap-around detail and button side that goes with everything and takes up zero mental energy to style.
Fit for the Happy Go Lucky
Not every outfit needs a moment. Sometimes you just want to put on a dress and go.
The All My Loving Contrast Mini Dress in Lemon/Blue is that dress. The lemon and blue contrast linen blend is so good and perfect for the warm summer days, and the cut-out front with tie detail keeps it from ever feeling too simple.
It's a Princess Polly Lower Impact pick and made with 80% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ and 20% linen, so it's a more conscious choice that also happens to be the cutest thing you'll own this summer.
