Whether you have a vacation on the horizon, or simply want to dress like you’re on one, look no further than the ‘Amalfi Coast’ trend. Think elevated florals, flowy fabrics, airy dresses and wide-leg trousers. It’s an aesthetic that’s sweeping the fashion world this summer. Stylist, Erica Wark shows us how to embrace the ‘out-of-office’ look. Watch the video for her tips and shop the looks below. 

Swimsuit and Coverup 

What better way to immediately transport ourselves to the Amalfi Coast than a statement-making swimsuit? This bikini from Andrea Iyamah is not your average bandeau bikini. The ruffle is removable, which adds a lot of versatility– wear the bandeau with or without the ruffle detail or as a fabulous shoulder piece. On top, add a glamorous coverup like this one with a plush multi-coloured organza fabric, also from Andrea Iyamah. Finish the look off with simple gold accessories and white slides.

Going with anything in a floral print is an easy way to channel the Amalfi Coast look. This linen floral print midi dress from Reformation has adjustable straps, a sweetheart neckline and a corset-style bodice for a feminine and romantic feel. Keep the accessories simple with these white earrings from Toronto-based brand, Keeja. Give off even more vacation vibes with this blue raffia bag and white sandals from I’Intervalle.

White Dress

There’s nothing like a crisp all-white look in the summer, and this is an elevated take on the shade, which makes it perfect for the luxury vacation feel. With a stand-up collar, classic button-up closure and two layers of tiered ruffles, this playful mini dress from Revelle is a true occasion piece.

Blue and White Print Set 

Time for more prints that give off those Amalfi Coast vibes. There’s something about a blue and white print that screams summertime in Italy. This print reminds us of those ceramic tiles with blue motifs you’ll find there. This set is from Toronto-based streetwear brand, Dorian Who and each piece is 100 percent hand-painted cotton and made to order. Add a blue crossbody and white slides from Aldo to pull the blue from the matching outfit.

To finish things off, add a large beaded necklace like this one from Zara and a taupe bag from Canadian brand Ela for a bit of a pop of colour.
