I love it when two of my favorite style worlds collide, and today Tuckernuck and celebrated interior designer Shea McGee—the creative force behind Studio McGee and McGee & Co.—are unveiling an exclusive 33-piece summer capsule. Think elevated basics with a West-Coast-meets-East-Coast vibe: breezy cotton-linen dresses, perfectly tailored blazers, vintage-inspired “dune breeze” and classic chintz prints, plus easy accessories that feel ready for sun-splashed days and barefoot evenings. Everything is crafted from natural materials like cotton poplin, linen, suede, leather and raffia, marking Shea’s very first foray into fashion design.
I’ve rounded up more standouts from the drop below but the real magic is how Shea’s signature, light-filled aesthetic turns Tuckernuck’s best-selling silhouettes into fresh summer essentials. Whether you’re strolling cobblestone streets, packing for a lake-house weekend, or simply craving something new, this capsule delivers the effortless polish we’ve come to expect from both brands—now in wearable, sunshine-ready form.
If Shea has a sartorial signature, it’s the long, floaty white skirt—and the Laurel skirt is a dream iteration. Cut from breezy 100% cotton and overlaid with varied bands of eyelet, it delivers all the romance of eyelet without feeling precious. A flat front keeps the silhouette clean, while an elastic back waistband, handy side-seam pockets, and full lining make it genuinely practical. I’m smitten with the subtle trapunto stitching at the hem which gives the skirt structure and the discreet side-zip that lets the skirt sit smoothly at the waist. Style it with the matching Rue Blouse for an “instant set,” pair it with the Miles Collared Pullover on cool beach nights, or keep it simple with a strapless linen top ("Stacie20" for 20% off) and earthy stone necklace like I did.
Yes, flats can be just as polished as heels. Named after Shea’s daughter, the Ivy sandal is crafted in rich chocolate-brown suede with a nautical-inspired rope strap across the toes that nods to coastal living without going full preppy. The adjustable ankle strap keeps them secure (no flip-flop flapping here), and the minimalist profile means they work with everything—from the Laurel Skirt’s eyelet hem to cropped denim or a linen short. Slip them on for backyard soirées, cobblestone sightseeing, or any summer soirée where you need a shoe that's both comfortable and chic, or snag the equally beautiful heeled version if you want a little lift!
