There isn’t an August that has come and gone without a backyard fête, and as far as we’re concerned, it’s our favorite type of event because typically it comes with good food and casual attire.

We’re all for a dress up here and there, but summer time plus the busy-ness of life and we are A-OK with easy.

Since not all gatherings are created equal, we wanted to provide an array of looks that could go from day to dusk.

Our signature suggestion? Keep it simple.
