The shirt really is the statement piece of this outfit, so opt for light-colored accessories, including white sandals and an ivory or off-white handbag. Gold jewelry and large sunglasses add a little glamour to this perfect summer vacation look.

One of the simplest and most chic ways to style a pair of linen pants is with a crop top or bralette – such as the black and white striped crop top in the outfit above.

The tailored light beige linen pants are given a more relaxed, casual vibe with the addition of a crop top and then finished with statement tortoiseshell sunglasses, white sneakers, and a beige-grey mini handbag to keep with the neutral color scheme. This outfit is the ideal holiday look that will always look effortlessly chic.
