A Womenswear Guide For Sun Valley and Other Networking Events This Summer
For women, these options are far more fun, sleeker and come in countless shades of the season’s favorite pale blue shade.
From the U.S. Open to Art Basel, to the conclaves of Sun Valley and Cannes, the summer months are rife with networking opportunities. They’re also hot, sticky and known for air conditioning set to full blast.
Throw in frequent travel and the sheer range of dress codes, and the question of what to wear can become tricky at best. The answer? “It’s all about an effortless, gentle vibe that’s not overly aggressive or competitive on the level of the body,” said Lisa von Weise, a personal stylist who has worked with American and French Vogue and styles entrepreneurs and CEOs on both coasts. She added: “My younger clients want to be cool, but also distinguish themselves in a more evolved, mature way.”
In practical terms, that sentiment translates to high-quality fabrics, comfort, color and a mood that’s versatile and elevated, rather than overly showy or precious. Far from rejecting trusted basics—including tech entrepreneur staples like sneakers and T-shirts—the aim is to embrace a personal, innovative spin on them.
