This Local Brand's 5 Easy-To-Style Pieces Will Elevate Your Summer Vacay Fits

Just a few weeks ago, mornings were all cool and breezy, perfect for using those light jackets we've been hoarding in the closet. Now, there's that undeniable urge to wear the sleeveless top + shorts combo with a mini fan in hand by noon.

The weather has been at a high lately, and building a wardrobe that can handle the heat (and humidity!) is key to surviving the day while still looking put-together.

Light, breathable, and easy-to-move-in pieces are absolute essentials. The Cosmo Girl needs outfits that can keep up with coffee runs, mall errands, and dinner plans—all without a full outfit swap. 

Good thing Regatta came through with options for some summer-ready staples. The local leisurewear brand recently dropped their Crafted by the Coast collection featuring linen pieces, marine blue-resort styles, and their signature nautical stripes. Inspired by Regatta's long-standing love for the coast, the collection is designed for how we actually experience summer: moving from beach days to city errands to sponty catch-ups, all while staying cool and comfortable.

In other words, the Cosmo Girl gets to play around with pieces that keep her breezy, look chic, and glide through the day without breaking a sweat.

If there's one summer non-negotiable, it's linen—or at least linen-adjacent blends. This button-down gives you that crisp, breathable feel without looking too laid-back. It's perfect for the girlies who love a "clean girl" aesthetic but refuse to suffer through overheating. Half-tuck it into denim shorts, wear it open over a tank, or button it up with trousers for a casual office look. Yup, one piece, multiple (cute) personalities.

You can never go wrong with a summer dress, especially one that does all the work for you. Breezy, sleeveless, and easy to throw on, this versatile piece is commuting-friendly in the heat. The flowing silhouette works with all body types, while the classic stripes add a playful pop of personality. Pair it with slides for daytime errands or dress it up with gold jewelry and strappy sandals for dinner plans.

For the girls who don't love showing too much skin but still want to beat the heat, this one's for you. It's made of seersucker fabric, which is known for its puckered texture, so it helps keep air flowing (a.k.a. less pawis problems). The high-waist, straight-leg cut gives it a flattering shape, while the drawstring keeps things adjustable after a big lunch (no judgment—we've all been there).

A skort is basically the ultimate summer hack. You get the polished look of a skirt and the comfort (and security) of shorts, so you can move freely without worrying about accidental flashes. The mid-wash denim adds a slightly dressed-up feel compared to your usual light denim, meaning you can dress it up or down depending on your agenda.

A reliable go-to for those "I have nothing to wear" days. The contrast trim sneaks in that vintage-sporty flair, while the structured fit avoids that boxy look disaster (thank goodness). It's simple, but not boring, which is honestly the sweet spot every Cosmo Girl chases. Throw it on with jeans, trousers, or a skirt, and call it a day.

Easy, wearable, and made for real-life summer days, these are the pieces you'll keep reaching for on repeat (yes, we're repeating outfits and not sorry about it). You can swing by the nearest Regatta store to see the full collection up close or shop it via their official website.
