With the height of summer upon us, we can look forward to several more weeks of lazy days, Aperol Spritz breaks and sun-kissed skin. Jazz up your wardrobe for some evening wining and dining with these nature-toned pieces.
Smart enough for dinner yet relaxed enough for holiday afternoons, the Paul shorts strike the perfect balance. Cut with a mid-rise waist and straight-leg silhouette, they feature slanted front pockets, refined rear welt pockets and a lightweight unlined construction. Wear with the matching Saint shirt or a crisp t-shirt for that effortless Scandinavian ‘je ne sais quoi’.

Every summer wardrobe needs a flawlessly cut white t-shirt. NN07’s Regie tee is made from soft organic cotton jersey with comfortable raglan sleeves and a relaxed fit that feels easy without looking oversized. Lightweight, versatile and endlessly wearable, it’s a staple you’ll reach for long after summer ends.

Known for their refined monochrome aesthetic, founders Celine Aagaard and Pia Nordskaug continue to define modern Scandinavian dressing with Envelope 1976. Returning this season in fluid 100 per cent viscose, the Esmoriz dress features a minimalist tube silhouette and maxi length. Finished with discreet side pockets and presented in a rich, burnt olive shade, it’s a beautifully uncomplicated piece that moves effortlessly from daytime strolls to sunset dinners.

Based in Jæren, Woodling takes inspiration from Norwegian tradition and nature. With a particular focus on comfort and quality, Woodling likes to use natural fabrics that last. Perfect for the August heat, the relaxed, brownish-green Beth trousers are made from linen and feature practical side pockets and elastic for comfort and flexibility. Depending on what look you’re going for, they can be worn as both high waist and low waist, and for a more elevated look, pair with a pretty blouse and some gold jewellery.

Nothing says summer quite like a burst of sunshine yellow. GANNI’s sleeveless, organic cotton top combines a flattering smocked texture with playful tie details, a scoop back and a softly ruffled hem. Feminine, fresh and easy to wear, it’s an ideal companion to linen trousers, denim or a flowing skirt throughout the warmest days of the year.

Inspired by the movement of the ocean and the shifting patterns of sand beneath the waves, Sofia Lynggaard Normann’s Under the Sea collection celebrates organic forms. This lightweight hollow bangle, made from 18-carat yellow gold, makes a striking statement. It’s a timeless investment that elevates even the simplest summer outfit.
Under the Sea bangle, USD 14,000
