One Piece, Three Ways
Eyelet skirts
The swishy eyelet skirt from our June G. Label drop – a stealth-sexy silhouette that Gwyneth fell in love with under fittings – presents a sartorial challenge: It’s unlined, which means that unless you wear it as a cover-up , creative styling is key. Here, our (extremely photogenic) associate fashion editor, Sandra Slusarczyk, shows us three ways to wear it out into the world.

AT GOOP HQ
The skirt is a bit see-through, so my first thought was to put it over cycling shorts (the same ones I lived in last summer). In a monochrome moment, I added a navy blue top and my best accessory: simple gold jewelry and my Emme Parsons sandals. “

TO THE FARMER MARKET
“To get a different kind of cover, I put in an extra long button that falls to around the middle of the thigh. I still had panties underneath – not that you could see them – but it worked completely. A woven basket to bring summer products home is a must. “
Our favorite stalls at Santa Monica Farmers’ Market (find it downtown on Wednesdays and Saturdays): JJ’s Lone Daughter Ranch for the best citrus and avocados ever. Schaner Farms for the most beautiful eggs (and you should grab a lavender lemonade if they have it). And The Garden Of wins all the points for having the most careful table with perfect rows of butter salad.

ON MY HOLIDAY
“This skirt is made for the beach – I’m always at Rosie’s, which funnily enough is the only dog beach in LA County – where the cutouts work to your advantage. My advice: Put it on over a bikini, wear a sweater around your shoulders, and bring what you need (sunscreen, dog treats, a large enough-for-two beach blanket) to spend the afternoon by the sea. “
