Both Vogue’s global head of fashion network, Virginia Smith , and fashion news writer, Alexandra Hildreth—who tend to stick to a minimalist uniform of tried-and-trues—are loving the ease and simplicity of the pajama trouser this season.

Elsewhere on the team, global executive shopping director Libby Page is eyeing a pair of wedged sandals to add some height to a pair of Bermuda shorts ; while fashion market director Madeline Fass , is embracing runway-approved craft with beaded jewelry that feel like collectible treasures in their own right.

“Certain classics don’t need reinventing, just a little reimagining—the Breton tee is one of ‘em. Matteau’s is my personal favorite: with its relaxed fit and wide, long sleeves (perfect for rolling up), it honors the spirit of the original while feeling completely modern. That said, you’re spoilt for choice this time of year. Much like summer itself, it’s a choose your own stripes kind of adventure.” — Talia Abbas , shopping director
