Upcoming Travel

Is there anything else your stylist should know before styling you?

I need elevated, chic outfits for the beach/lakeside, walking around the city, and nights out to dinner that are travel friendly. I want to match the Lake Como aesthetic but also want to feel like myself. We are mainly going to stay in the Lake Como area. Although, we might travel to the beach one day, so I need an outfit I can wear over a swimsuit. I also really want to be comfortable!

Style Words:

Boho, Classic, Simple

Things Her Stylist Considered

Lake Como style is all about looking polished without appearing overdone. Think effortless silhouettes, elevated basics, soft textures, and pieces that move beautifully from daytime exploring to evening aperitivos by the water. For Rachel’s trip, the goal is outfits that feel chic, comfortable, and travel-friendly.

Colors:

• Cream
• White
• Sand
• Camel
• Navy
• Green
• Terracotta

Fabrics: 

• Linen blends
• Lightweight cotton
• Silky satins
• Crochet or woven details for subtle boho texture

The Outfits

Collection 1

White Tank + Crochet Knit Pant 

Navy Silk Tank + Tropical Navy Short

Collection 1 focuses on relaxed, beach-to-city dressing. Rachel mentioned in her profile that she and her husband are planning a beach getaway with a few lakeside days in Lake Como, so her stylist selected looks that feel breezy, effortless, and easy to layer over a swimsuit. These outfits are designed to take her seamlessly from the beach, to the lake, to strolling through town — all while keeping an elevated, chic feel.

Collection 2

Navy Tank + Navy Patterned Skirt

Floral Print Linen Button Up + Pinstripe Linen Short + Brown Belt

Green Pattern Dress

Collection 2 focuses on elevated looks for exploring the charming towns of Lake Como. Rachel’s stylist selected outfits that are polished yet comfortable for long days of wandering cobblestone streets, stopping for coffee and pastries at local cafés, shopping in town, and enjoying scenic lakeside lunches. These looks balance effortless style with practicality, making them perfect for sightseeing while still feeling chic and put-together from morning to evening.

Collection 3

White Floral Dress 

Pinstripe Linen Blazer + White Tank + Pinstripe Linen Short 

Collection 3 focuses on elevated evening looks for dinners, drinks, and nights out in Lake Como. Rachel’s stylist selected sophisticated pieces that feel polished, chic, and effortlessly European — perfect for sunset cocktails by the water or lingering over dinner at a lakeside restaurant. The dress option brings an elegant, feminine feel, while the linen blazer and shorts set offers a modern, tailored look that still feels relaxed and vacation-ready. These outfits are designed to feel refined without ever looking overdone.

Rachel is all set for her trip!
