Check out some of our favorite locations, recipes, and outfits for summer entertaining below! 

Backyard Barbecue

You'll be casual and cool at your upcoming backyard barbeuce in these Ultramarine Chloe Pocket Trousers. Pair this staple with an organza cutout top by Self Portrait and this navy gingham Rag & Bone boot for those essential "BBQ-style" details. With these steamy temps you'll want to bring a refreshing dish, consider surprising your guests with some watermelon, feta, and blackberry skewers. 

Rooftop Luncheon

You'll look chic and effortless for a daytime luncheon in these light-weight Rag & Bone pants and white tank. It may get a little windy, so consider adding a denim jacket for extra coverage and style like this one from Baldwin. Serve your guests a Rhubarb Tom Collins for a crisp and refreshing daytime drink.    

Beach Picnic

You'll be incredibly satisfied on the beach while you watch the sunset with this tasty arugula radicchio salad with figs, prosciutto, and pistachios. Wear a long dress by L'AGENCE for coverage from wind, sand, and sun. This bucket bag by Chloe can hold your essentials (and a bottle of champagne) as you trek to your favorite location. Add a White & Warren sweater and cozy right up when the sun goes down.

Poolside Dinner

A poolside dinner can be both romantic, fancy, and fun. Pair these pieces to fit the poolside vibe with an elegant skirt from The Row, silk Tiger cami from L'AGENCE, and adorable rattan clutch. Add a pop of color to your table with a blueberry lemonade cocktail your guests will love. 

Up North Bonfire

Be warm and cozy by the fire in your Maison Kitsune sweatshirt and dark denim jeans. Keep your attire casual, but trendy with a pair of Golden Goose sneakers. Consider a twist on the classic fireside treat with this gourmet s'more recipe that will leave your guests wanting more!
