Pause Studio

Since summer is all about spontaneity, being prepared is a must—especially when it comes to footwear. These shoes can be worn for almost any activity, and since they come in seven different designs and colors, you don’t have to sacrifice style. Keep it classic with the all-white runners or add a pop of blue with the limited-edition Hazy Indigo.
Evereve
Buy This: Matching Set
Nothing says summer fashion like a matching set. This blue, geometric resort shirt and wide-leg pant combo can be worn at the beach, during a spa day or even during a shopping spree. The flowy design and soft-drape fabric feel great on the skin, and the breathable nature of the set is ideal for beating the heat on a hot summer day.
