There’s a reason certain pieces become summer staples. And this new Sail to Sable x Style Charade summer capsule dress checks every box. The return of spring’s best-selling Abby shirtdress style is now available in navy stripe. With its timeless appeal and effortless silhouette, it feels like something out of a Nancy Meyers film: think Something’s Gotta Give meets a weekend on Nantucket. I’ve already earmarked this style for our July trip to the island!
Crafted from lightweight cotton with a touch of stretch, the Abby dress is designed with both comfort and style in mind. The alternating stripe pattern in crisp navy adds a modern twist to a classic. Plus, the button-front style and midi length offer a flattering, feminine shape. The tie-waist feature cinches at just the right spot, creating definition without compromising ease. We were hoping to create a subtle nod to the relaxed sophistication of coastal living. After all, Sail to Sable is a Connecticut-based brand!
Where to Wear it
It’s the kind of dress that fits into every summer scenario. Picture it layered over a swimsuit for a walk along the a Cape Cod or Door County shoreline. Then, style it with sandals and a sunhat for a breezy lunch al fresco. Moreover, it can be dressed up for casual Fridays at the office or packed for a weekend getaway with girlfriends. We aimed for both versatility and simplicity via clean lines, breathable fabric, and classic design that allows for endless styling possibilities.
For the Fourth of July, lean into Americana with a bold red lip and cherry-hued accessories. I’ll be pairing mine with this red waterproof tote full of snacks and beverages for our family’s annual village parade. If you prefer a softer take, pair it with blush pink earrings or ballet flats for a fresh contrast. And of course, no coastal wardrobe is complete without a few neutral accents. A wicker bag, straw hat (this style is my new fave), or cotton espadrilles effortlessly complete the look, evoking that seaside sophistication that’s both polished and relaxed.
Whether you’re meandering through cobblestone streets in Europe, sipping rosé on a friend’s patio, or stepping out for iced lattes on a warm weekday morning, this shirtdress works for any occasion. It’s polished without trying too hard, classic yet current, and always chic. Just like a perfect summer day.
