Early morning walks on an empty beach are one of my favorite things to do in summer, but sometimes it’s cool, even in the dog days of summer. Sea Star is designed with just that in mind. Layer it over a tank or tee with linen pants for summer casual at the office or for a night out. Or throw it on as the sun comes up (or goes down) for just the right amount of coverage.
