Dreamy, warm-weather style shot on film—because summer is the most nostalgic season of all


Remember how it felt to be a kid in the summertime? Mornings spent running barefoot through fields and rolling down hills in the bright sunshine. Sticky afternoons of plucking fruit from trees, catching tadpoles and butterflies, and breathing in the scent of sweet flowers. Evenings chasing fireflies and twirling sparklers through the air. By twilight, the outfit your mom picked for you would be covered in dirt and grass stains.

These days, Mom isn’t picking clothes for us, and we probably aren’t climbing trees anymore. But summer is the season to get nostalgic. Put on clothes as colorful and carefree as you were in those old film stills from your youth. And know that it’s OK to get your clothes a little bit dirty sometimes—even as a grown-up.
