Former President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jackie didn’t just define White House style in the 60s – it defined them as icons, then and now. And there’s no season like summer for slipping into a Kennedy state of mind – from sailing on Nantucket Sound to parties on their sprawling oceanside lawn. Below, we break down that Cape-ready look for a weekend at the Compound.
For Her
A retro monochrome set pulls double duty for traveling and arrival cocktails. Pack an on-trend (and super-flattering) one-piece for the beach – just toss on a pair of shorts or pants for afternoon lawn games. Extras like a straw hat and Jack Rogers sandals add even more preppy flair.
For Him
A short-sleeve linen dress shirt ensures you arrive in style. Stash the basics (think: drawstring swim trunks and Wayfarers) for your first sail of the season. And don’t forget a cable-knit sweater and boat shoes for a dockside dinner.
