Jenni Kayne Nailed My Coastal Summer Vibe—16 Pieces I'd Wear Everywhere From Cape Cod to Carmel-by-the-Sea

As I write to you from 100°F NYC, I am counting down the minutes until I can be near a body of water other than the Hudson River. My all-linen outfit, raffia accessories, and flip-flops feel out of place here—it's time to take this look to a small coastal town. Places like Carmel-by-the-Sea and Cape Cod have always inspired my summer style. With breezy linen pieces, flowing dresses, and classic summer accessories, coastal fashion reflects the ease of summertime living. And where do locals shop for these pieces? Jenni Kayne, of course. Shop my favorites from the brand's summer collection here.

Easy Dresses

Sometimes the only way to beat the heat is to throw on a cotton or linen dress. The following four options from Jenni Kayne are essential for the summer. Plus, the silhouettes are completely timeless, making them worthwhile investments for seasons to come.

Lightweight Bottoms

If I have to put on pants, I'm going for linen and cotton styles. I'd wear these over swimsuits at the beach or style them with a white ribbed tank for an everyday look. If you're into matching sets, keep scrolling for the tops.

Tops and Tees

When I'm not in a bikini top, you can find me in a breezy button-down or cotton tee. While there are hundreds of options on the market for these types of tops, Jenni Kayne's quality soars above the rest.

Shoes + Accessories

Mules, flip-flops, and raffia are the foundation of my footwear and accessories this summer. These versatile pieces are the perfect blank canvases for trending summer accessories like beaded necklaces, anklets, and silk scarves.
