The past few summers have been all about finding a solid summer style aesthetic for the season and running with it. In summers past, it was the fashion set–loved tomato girl aesthetic, and who could forget the cottagecore trend? Then we had mermaidcore, gorpcore… I could go on and on. But the one aesthetic I'm leaning into for summer 2024 is "country-club chic."
This aesthetic is all about a classic, expensive-looking, slightly preppy vibe. Think Princess Diana, Blair Waldorf, Ralph Lauren, tennis clubs, and uptown New York. It's a look that's all about quiet luxury. I've decided—after lots of research—that I'm giving it a shot this summer.
I mean, why not? I look great in tennis whites, and if I swap out my hoop earrings for pearls and my pumps for Mary Janes, I'm already halfway there. Of course, there are a few key pieces that every closet built around the "country-club chic" aesthetic has: a tennis dress, white linen pieces, the perfect pair of shorts, and, of course, a striped sweater that just screams, "I'm on my way to the yacht club."
Lucky for you, I took a deep dive through all my favorite retailers to find pieces that matched the "country-club chic" aesthetic I'm going for. Keep scrolling to see which ones I can't wait to wear.
