One Tote: Six Outfits

It’s almost Memorial Day Weekend, the official start of summer ☀️. That means Summer Fridays and weekend getaways. We happen to have a canvas tote that is basically made to support your packing. Whether traveling via the Hampton Jitney, the train, or packing up a car, you want to keep it easy. In just one tote, we have made six outfits to take you through the weekend looking the absolute kulest.

Packing six full outfits in one tote takes work, so to help you, we have a formula. You want to pack roughly 3/4th mix-and-match basics and the other 1/4th statement pieces. Also, you must be smart about what you wear on travel day! It should be an outfit with pieces you can re-wear for the rest of the weekend.

Travel Day

You will want this outfit to be comfortable but re-workable. The Suki pant keeps your legs covered and paired with an easy ribbed tank under a sweatshirt (this one’s Nikki’s go-to when she travels), you’re ready for any AC your train/bus/car will blow at you. You will wear your most versatile sneakers, one of the two shoes you have in tow. And most importantly, all of these pieces will work with the other elements in your tote, too.

Two Daytime Looks

KULE summer day look collage

Your days can look different based on where you’re going, but let’s assume you’re going somewhere casual, has a bit of walking, and where it is necessary to always have a swimsuit, just in case. You want to wear distinctly different outfits because what’s the fun in re-wearing the same look?

For Day One, when you’ll explore and walk a bit: a knit tank, terry shorts, and sneakers. For Day Two when you’ll hang by the beach/pool: your ribbed tank, pareo (which you can tie a multitude of ways), slide sandals, and little raffia bag that is big enough to hold a small sunblock and lipstick. If you head to the boardwalk restaurant, you’ll still look chic and put together.

Two Dinner Looks

Thank goodness it’s summer again because there is nothing like having dinner outside by the beach. You’ll have two very different looks: one from those classic pieces you packed and the other utilizing the fun statement ones.

For Dinner Look One, wear your Suki pants + knit tank + slide sandals. You’re a neutrals lady. For Dinner Look Two, you keep your company on their toes and wear a colorful striped skirt (it’s so comfy no matter how much seafood you eat) + crisp 100% cotton button-up shirt + colorblock cardigan over your shoulders. Your neutral slides and little bag are pulling their weight this trip.

One Brunch or BBQ Look

If you have a social day event, you want to look put together but still casual. That’s KULE’s sweet spot! Bring your terry shorts back out, but this time pair them with your ribbed tank and your lightweight cotton button-down shirt that’s not too heavy, but will still keep you covered in case the festivities keep going after the sun goes down. Your big tote will come in handy to carry a swimsuit, sandals, and a towel if the day takes you back to the water, too 🌊.

So with just 3 tops, 3 bottoms, 1 cardigan, 1 sweatshirt, 2 bags, 2 shoes, 1 swimsuit, 1 pareo, and 2 pairs of sunglasses, you have 6 different looks. The only last question is: are you a roller or a folder? Happy travels 🙂

The Spring Shirt Sandwich

Spring is a season for layering, and nothing makes that easier than a shirt. This spring, we have two key styles: the Hutton shirt, a crisp, 100% cotton lightweight shirt, and the new Quinn oxford shirt, also 100% cotton with a menswear influence, super soft finish, and swing shape. Both are wardrobe staples and can be served in many ways. We like to call them the secret ingredient to spring dressing 🥪.

As the Middle Ingredient

Because the Hutton shirt is lightweight, it is perfect for styling under cardigans or blazers. Our lovely invisible model wears it here sandwiched 🥪 between a great base layer, the spaghetti tank, and our newest cardigan style, the Raffa. Paired with cool khakis and white sneakers, she’s ready for her day.

In case you missed it, we’re now layering shirts over shirts à la Bottega Veneta. The Hutton and Quinn are great to layer, as one is lighter-weight than the other. Because the Quinn (top layer) has a looser shape, it’s a good substitute for a blazer when you want to wear something lighter. Worn with the Williams tennis skirt and a little lady bag, your brunch date awaits you.

And because this is KULE, we’re adding a punch of color to your traditional shirting. The Hutton now comes in this springy green 🌱. With the classic Rox trench and white jeans, she’s smartly dressed but still fun.

A Light Top Layer

When you want the option to take off your top layer but not carry around a bulky jacket, wear a shirt! The Quinn looks great layered over a sexy little dress like this comfy, stretchy Harlow striped number, but if you get hot, you can tie it around your waist or even roll it up and stick it in your cute bag.

No Tucks Given!

A shirt that looks intentional, tucked or not! The back of the Quinn is slightly longer than the front, so it has a relaxed swingy shape. It layers perfectly over this slim cashmere Rory tank (ooooh, so luxurious) and our new Suki pants (which genuinely feel like pajamas). Comfortable and kule.

The Anatomy of a Spring Outfit

These early days of March can be a challenging time to get dressed as we collectively long for the warmer days ahead. With some of us escaping to warm destinations for Spring Break, we can start looking forward to what’s to come 🌱☀️. In our excitement for spring weather, we have developed some formulas to take you through the season. Read on below for four spring outfit anatomies to make dressing for spring a March-like breeze.

KULE Spring 2023 Outfit Anatomy Blazer and Tennis Skirt Look

One thing is for sure: layers are your friend from now through May. You want to be thoughtful about what exactly you’re layering. Try a comfortable button-up shirt for your base layer. In 100% cotton, it’s lightweight and breathable. With a classic blazer over, you’ll look perfectly put together. When the temperature starts to rise, add a fun, easy tennis skirt, and flip-flops (they’re back!). Don’t forget a big tote to carry your tennis gear (or groceries), your favorite sunglasses, and a very appropriate tennis bracelet 🎾.

One of the easiest outfits for spring involves a set because it’s one-and-done! If you’re going on vacation or dreaming of tube-top weather, pair your top with a comfortable stretchy mid-length skirt, which is a sophisticated (dare we say, sexy?) new style (you can pair it with a solid white tank or tee for more coverage if preferred). Throw on an oxford shirt for some modesty, or add a sweater for early-springtime wear. Add casual shoes to finish your look and maybe a hint of gloss on your lips 💋.

Now or later, on the court or not, a chunky tennis sweater is a sure way to keep warm but still look the kulest. Layer it over a striped button-up in coordinating green with casual bottoms (pants now, shorts later), fun socks, retro sneakers, and playful, quirky eyewear, and you are ready for the first serve 🎾.

KULE Spring 2023 Outfit Anatomy Striped Sweater Look

For a classic outfit (with a twist), try our bestselling striped cotton Tatum sweater (in a new cheery royal blue color) layered over a lightweight, collared, or hooded layer (great for a spring shower!). Wide-leg khakis on the bottom will keep you looking casual but still chic. Styled with a loafer or Chelsea boot now and sandals later because the window in which you can perfectly pair trousers with sandals only lasts so long!

Feeling inspired? We have more seasonal dressing tricks up our sleeves 😉. Shop the new KULE Spring Collection for more inspiration.

Say Something 🙂

While we are known for our stripes, the Take Out happy face graphic has also become a staple of the KULE brand. A graphic tee can be a cheeky, fun, and unexpected element for a wide variety of outfits. We always have many different ones to inspire you, so read on for how to say something with your outfit 🙂.

If you aren’t familiar with the aforementioned Take Out tee, here is a quick background: Nikki based the tee design on the iconic take out food bags carried any day of the week throughout New York City. What’s better than take out for dinner? Its playful smile and fun backstory make it the perfect contrast to a classic blazer and patterned skirt, which is how Nikki wore it to our Rockefeller Center’s store opening party. The graphic tee is a great conversation starter and makes for a welcoming feature to an outfit. You will definitely get a smile back 🙂.

Nikki wears The Modern Take Out tee with KULE skirt, Balenciaga blazer, and TK shoes

Pickleball is taking over, and our club is welcoming new members 🏓 with our latest graphic for spring. The bold primary colors in the tee make a statement, so pair it with neutral pieces: our new Raffa cardigan because a cozy touch of stripes is always a good idea. These High Sport pants, which you could literally play pickleball in, they’re so stretchy and comfortable. Nikki highly recommends them (they’re so comfortable, she even loves them for plane rides!). Finish the look off with a lady bag and classic slide to elevate this otherwise playful look.

Our Love graphic has been a customer favorite for years, so Nikki designed this 70s-inspired sweatshirt for our first spring drop. Wear it with tailored trousers, causal but clean sneakers, and your favorite tote for errands (or any given day at the KULE office).

KULE Modern Rigatoni Tee outfit
KULE Modern Rigatoni tee, Celine jacket and jeans, Gucci loafers, Khaite x Oliver Peoples sunglasses, T Magazine cover by Danilo Scarpati shot at Villa Palazzetto in Monselice via @danilo.scarpati

For the final look, we’re heading to Italy. Our Rigatoni tee has you wearing your favorite pasta on your tee (we also have Cacio e Pepe and Spaghetti on the menu if you favor). Paired with a chic jacket, classic mid-wash denim, and loafers, you are well-dressed but don’t take yourself too seriously. And it’s a subtle hint about what you want for dinner 🍝.

We are well-versed in graphics! Shop more here.

We recommend going bright and cheery in our rainbow Holly sweater, worn with a turtleneck and stretchy pants. You will have enough layers to keep going until you’re a pro.
