So much delight here! A very generous newsletter that must have taken a lot of time. Emi Mess trousers really are incredible. The price point prevents me from taking the plunge but my god, they are mouth wateringly well cut.

This is the content I live for. Your long newsletters with all the outfit pics!, the recommendations!, the inspiration! Can’t get enough and will bookmark to go back to. Also. Would love more info on the Sessei shirts-obsessed and wondering about fit. Can’t wait for the upcoming article on those

This is the shirt that the site sells with the matching shorts - i love that it kind of flares out at the bottom, makes it a great button down to let hang out over pants, and as such works best with straight leg/skinny styles. https://shopsessei.com/fr-us/products/chemise-en-popeline-de-coton-marron-kaia

also the material is so...rich? sometimes i love a super casual feeling, looks better when messy button down but this is a nice, finer option

By the way my neighbor came over wearing camo bike shorts and a black lace button down - chill bad gal energy, it was great.

Thank you for your amazing newsletter, I’m really so excited when it arrives to my mail❤️

Hope it’s ok to ask if you have any recommendations for a more budget polo, like the stunning High Sport one that I wish to get one day. Even something half price would be great .

Thank you so much!!

What about a classic mens lacoste? It won’t be the same fabric but it’s a very similar look (boxy!)

Right it’s a great idea!! Just need to look for one without a crocodile or at least the same colour as the polo.

Thank you so much!

The right newsletter at the right time where I dress for being cold and not being cold at the same time while getting hot at specifically one point in every day.

Bermuda shorts are my new-ish obsession and of course am also obsessed in their addition to your spectacular outfit choices.

Lagom is also an L word that I have come to apply to my every day life. Swedish word basically meaning moderation, balance and not good not bad.

That reference to lying topless on a boat with a Jenner reminded me of the time I vented I just wanted one night on Kim Air to Italy with gelato and pasta in bed with a spray tan that does not damage cashmere seats. I also said I just wanted a Mai Tai in Maiui. Balance? 🙃

Genius. All of it. 👌

Leandra, do you by chance remember the color of the blue LMND chiara shirt you're wearing? Is it Maliblue or Ink blue? I just purchased the white Chiara and you were not lying when you said it's the best white hands down! I sized up to a Medium and love it.

It's ink blue!

I finally got the LMND chiara white button up and I see why you have crowned that shirt as the best white button up!! Thanks!!!

Leandra, love these! Recent subscriber. I love your style and have been learning so much. I am going to a conference in June and I was wondering if you had any suggestions on outfits.

Expand full comment

Oooo what kind of conference/what’s the dressing vibe?

Expand full comment

I work as a data scientist and it’s a technical conference,I’m afraid lol. I am guessing the dressing vibe may be slightly traditional pants/skirt and blazer but I prefer not to wear too dressy pants like I am going for an interview.

So cool! And different.

Do you like khakis? I am envisioning a pair of pants like these

with a blue collared button down shirt and something unexpected, like a jacket like this: https://abituworld.com/collection/jackets/product/oriental-green-jacket

I do like khakis, I love the look of your khakis(I believe they are emi something..) but they might be too pricey for my range. I do however your vision. Do you have a suggestion to get blue button up? I got an oversized one from AYR and not sure if that’ll go wit this look.

Do you have an idea for another jacket as well since it’s a 4 day conference?

LMND’s chiara button up is the best. In light blue!

I tried one of those shirts after seeing yours and it looked so frumpy on me, what size do you wear?

And thank you so much for taking time to look at these for me. I am so grateful

Favorite poplin shorts? Ive been wearing my pajama shorts out alot lately and loving it. I need a shorter pair thats less boxy masculine.. ) those i have) thoughts?

Expand full comment

Wear men’s cotton shorts too (from entireworld, which is no longer) - maybe Sessei has a good pair? Or I think the ones Wardrobe make feel a bit more DESIGNED

How are the souer sandals cut? I am

Usually a 38.5 in sandals. 39 in regular shoes.

Pretty true to size, possibly a tiny bit large. You might want to go 38.5.

Yes, this is the most confusing of seasons (it happens to me in early fall too, when I cling to summer way past all reason.). I love your twice-worn pink skirt look, and wish I could pull off shorts with boots... Maybe a short skirt or dress instead? Thank you for the delicious inspiration.

Expand full comment

Yes! The transition seasons are tough. They’re so liminal, which I think can register as pretty freeing for some people and overwhelming for others — there’s no groove! So it’s not as easy to sink into a secure template, everyday is like day 1 w us and our closets. 50 first dates, but with fahsion
