Summer’s Best Tunics & Caftans

Nothing captures the carefree glamour of summer quite like a tunic or caftan—and there’s no better place to showcase them than Capri’s iconic La Fontelina Beach Club. With its striped umbrellas, rocky shoreline, and sun-drenched charm, the setting felt like stepping straight into a Slim Aarons photograph. Whether you're sipping spritzes seaside or strolling to a long lunch, these breezy yet elegant pieces are my go-to for effortless summer style. Below, I’m sharing my favorite tunics and caftans of the season—each one perfect for capturing a little of that La Dolce Vita magic, wherever your summer takes you.
