LaPoshe Swim
Every Friday in our column “Style Selec’tings” we scour the web for the week’s best in clothing and accessories from Jamaican stores and designers. Today is Summer Solstice which officially marks the beginning of summer. While we know its been feeling like summer since early May, we thought a little summer style festiveness was in order to keep that heat from bogging you down.
We just became acquainted with this beautifully printed beach coverup from LePoshe Swim, an elegant beach look that if we owned it, we’d be living in all summer long. You’ll be hearing more from LaPoshe on the site soon, so keep your eyes peeled.
Base Kingston and Belle have been a lot more active lately on the interwebs, giving us styled previews of their pieces in stock. Peep their sporty block color ASD Clothing two-piece on MUA Loni Jones accessorized with an electric green visor– visor included? Visit the store to get all your Rep Ja goods for you gents looking for fresh summer street style.
It’s been sticky and hot and we’ve been feeling really overheated just getting dressed in the morning so we can appreciate this sheer top from June Plum Clothing to keep us from feeling like mobile ovens in that midday heat. Simple and easy, just pair it with a fitted skirt, distressed denim or try palazzo pants if you’re dressing it up.

Style Savvy coordinated a naturally air conditioned outfit for us with this adorable on-trend knit top and distressed denim shorts. Not to be forgotten are your cat eye sunnies–positioned in the far left– to keep those piercing rays out of your eyes. For those sweltering guys (hehem) The Wardrobe has some new sleeveless tanks in red and army fatigue and just a note: us ladies love to see you show your fit arms off.

For that evening BBQ or Sunday lounge with the family, peep this Flirt Boutique striped dress with lime green accents or pick up a pair of palazzo pants and pair it with a fringe top like Alter Ego’s outfit here. Lastly, we know sweaters are just not on your top ten when it’s this hot, but how cute is this little ice cream cone sweater from Glam Culture? For the lucky some of you spending your days in an air-conditioned office or house, we’re looking at you.
