Summer is finally here and it's time to pack your vacation suitcase. Put on your sunglasses, chic sneakers, shirt or shorts and put together your ideal outfit.
The new season awakens the senses and reveals desires for pop and tangy colors, airy cuts, flowing materials for sea or sunbathing. If you are about to leave, Hast reveals its list (not exhaustive) of pieces to absolutely put in your luggage. Follow our checklist and fly away with a light mind.
The Day Panoply...
The swimsuit
Obviously, a swimsuit. Whether you prefer to lounge around by the pool or enjoy water sports at sea, swim shorts are an essential item to slip into your suitcase. Symbols of the seaside spirit, fresh and bright colors adorn summer pieces. At Hast, we have made a swimsuit that is both comfortable and refined with stripes, available in 4 new colors this season. Perfectly in the summer tone.
A pair of shorts
When temperatures rise, shorts are the piece to wear for a daily look, very comfortable. Our cotton gabardine model is lightweight, with a flattering straight cut and large back pockets - for practicality. Having trouble matching it? Don't panic: put on a beautiful linen shirt or a t-shirt in sunny shades - yellow or pale green.
A t-shirt
We continue with the classics by advising you to pack a bunch of t-shirts in your suitcase. If you want to stay cool all day long, go for quality pieces in a natural fabric. To make our ideal model, we chose to mix linen with cotton. Linen has the advantage of being a light, breathable and thermoregulating material, releasing air when it's hot and trapping it when it's not. Add to that a beautiful round neck, a straight cut following the curves of the silhouette and a vibrant color - like this duck blue.
A pair of sunglasses
Like outdoor evenings and the smell of sunscreen, there are accessories without which the beautiful days would not have the same flavor. Sunglasses are one of them. For our sunglasses , we have chosen 100% Made In France, an Italian acetate frame and high protection lenses, category 3. In terms of style? We offer black, brown or tortoiseshell models: chic and terribly effective in case of prolonged exposure (which is what we wish for you, naturally). To find out all our advice for choosing your glasses, follow our guide.
A short sleeve shirt
The short-sleeved shirt is a lightweight, stylish piece and represents an original alternative to the more conventional t-shirt. Leave your preconceptions aside and add the "shirtette" to your summer outfit. This season, we have decided to play the short-sleeved shirt in a modern and essential version: Cuban collar, patch chest pockets and stripes, in seeruscker, for its embossed, all-relief appearance.
The evening outfit…
A linen shirt
After a day spent in the sun, when the light begins to fade, it's time to put on slightly more covering clothes, always at the height of elegance. When packing your suitcase, we recommend you take a white linen shirt . During the day, it can be worn over swimming shorts. In the evening, it is ideal for a chic outfit, in an effortless spirit. Timeless, it is one of our favorite pieces in summer.
A dress shirt
For a dinner, an aperitif with friends, a stroll in the old town: it is entirely possible to wear a dress shirt, even on vacation. However, to avoid looking too formal, choose a model with a relaxed cut and dare to wear patterns or colors that are subtly more contrasting than usual. Needless to say, it does not button at the collar and is worn tucked into the pants.
Light pants
As you can see, the choice of material is crucial in summer. At Hast, we look for materials that combine durability, texture and hold. If you want an elegant style for going out, opt for lightweight trousers. In seeruscker, our pleated trousers stand out with their worked appearance. With a semi-elasticated waistband, they also promise you great freedom of movement, all in comfort.
A sweatshirt
Even during the hottest time of year, you may feel a little cold in the evening. Don't forget to choose a sweater - light - but which will prove very useful in case of coolness. Here again, there is no question of turning to overly dressy pieces, but prefer a casual sweater, like a cotton sweatshirt . To wear over a t-shirt, a shirt or nonchalantly on your shoulders, our organic cotton and hemp sweatshirt stands out for the quality of its material. In blue or ecru mottled, for an assumed casual look.
Trendy summer accessories, you can also take with you a pair of espadrilles, and a bucket hat (in case you haven't noticed yet: it's coming back in force this summer).
The final touch to a successful suitcase is to equip yourself with objects of pleasure: a good novel, your crossword puzzle book and a pair of headphones. Like a hymn to idleness, let your mind escape and your body relax. 3,2,1… It's vacation time!
