An iced latte is the ideal accessory.

Steve Jobs was on to something with his uniform. So take a page from his book on lazy afternoons and reach for a matching set. Why? That way, you won’t have to think about your outfit and instead can have more time to catch up over an iced matcha latte with a gal pal. Trust us, you can’t go wrong.
And while matching sets like this one from Issey Miyake can be quite intimidating, the best way to style it is with an easy shoe like a pair of slingback loafers. Below, we also included Paloma Wool’s layered set, which is also a great option. Let the set’s playful details take center stage, and team it with silver earrings such as twisted hoops from Jenny Bird.
As for a bag, that is where you can make a statement. Try Kassl’s oversize option, featuring waxed leather and tons of space for an emergency umbrella, ginger shot, or farmers’ market pickup.
The look
Dolce Vita Hardi Slingback Penny Loafers
First came the grunge-leaning lug-sole loafer, then the simple driving loafer. For the summer, we’re eyeing the slingback loafer — a style that lets your feet breathe without losing its classically cool appeal. This black pair from Dolce Vita has the traditional penny loafer silhouette with a modern adjustable slingback strap. The best part about these (besides their affordable price) is the subtle grainy texture and range of colorways.
