It’s ironic that I’m in Maine as I write this post because these classic pieces take me back to my New England roots! Right before we left for this trip, I received a new order from Frank & Eileen, and this rolled funnel neck sweater in the summery navy and white stripe went right into my suitcase… after I took these pictures, anyway.

This luxurious cotton sweater is yarn-dyed in Italy and knitted by artisans in sunny California, and it’s a piece you can pretty much wear year-round, depending on your climate. I won’t lie, I was roasting in the Pennsylvania heat, but I knew it would be perfect for sitting by the lake on a crisp, cool summer evening in Maine.
The exposed seam detail on the sleeves and the rolled edge hem are such nice details, and I like how the stripes are on the body only. I will say, though, it runs big. I’m wearing the small, and it’s plenty roomy. You may want to size down for a closer fit.
I’ll probably wear this sweater with white shorts in Maine, but for this post, I styled it with my Frank & Eileen Galway Gaucho Jeans and a pair of silver sandals for more of a transitional look.
These jeans are one of my summer favorites; I’ve been wearing them so much since I got them a few months ago. The denim is so super soft and comfortable, and I love the trouser style waistband for a more elevated appearance.
I also styled them with my new Eileen Relaxed Button-Up Shirt in the featherweight cotton in the black, for a chic neutral look that exudes the understated elegance Frank & Eileen is known for.

This best-selling shirt has Frank & Eileen’s signature bust-flattering button placement and the perfect relaxed fit, and the featherweight fabric is pure magic.
It’s 100% cotton, super soft, and extremely lightweight. It isn’t hot at all, so it’s perfect for summer, and it isn’t as prone to wrinkling as linen.
For a chic monochromatic look, I also tried pairing this black cotton button-up with the black Derry Illusion Pull-On Pants.
This is such a simple look, but each piece is so well made and flattering, you really don’t need much else. Just throw a cotton crewneck sweater over your shoulders, and call it a day.

Ever since I got these pants in the Antique White, I’ve been wanting the black, so I finally took the plunge, and they’re amazing. They have such a nice fit and feel, and the pull-on styling is so convenient. These pants run true to size; I’m wearing the 29.
These are definitely investment pieces, but if you enjoy selectively filling your closet with high quality items that are both functional and beautiful, I hope this post was helpful for your wardrobe-building needs. Frank & Eileen clothing makes lovely gifts, too!
