Considering the time of year, keep in mind relaxed separates and a neutral color palette. Building upon that, we propose key items such as the reworked sweatshirt. You can find short-sleeve options which are great to wear now or pair with a medium-weight jacket in the fall. Also, you can never go wrong with skinny ripped denim or a smart polo.
