The Best Coastal Aesthetic Styles For Summer 2026

Summer is arriving as we speak, and mentally I am on a beach in Portofino, linen pants flowing in the wind, and citrus drink in hand. If you’re staying local (myself included-in this economy?), I believe we can manifest a Mediterranean summer – or wherever your heart desires – with the perfect coastal aesthetic.

1. Living in Linen

As mentioned above, linen is here. Linen is alive and I will be living in my tan linen pants all summer over bikini bottoms to the pool, beach, or just lounging at home. I may even wear them to work and no one can stop me. In my opinion, linen is crucial to the coastal aesthetic.

3. Post-Beach Dinner Date Fragrance

When it comes to embodying a Mediterranean summer vacation, you truly can’t get more spot on than with a Dolce and Gabbana fragrance. It’s refreshing, light, and instantly takes you to a summer evening in Italy. I personally have been wearing Light Blue almost every day this spring in anticipation for the summer months.

My fiance bought the Pour Homme version after smelling mine, and it’s one of my favorite colognes I think I’ve ever smelled:
