Bluer than You

Blue—an all-encompassing hue with an enormous shade range and endless inspiration to be found. Capable of being both heavy and light in color, dark or pale, blue brings cool tones to your Summer wardrobe, elevating your looks with calming color that feels celebratory of the season without looking overwhelming.

XCVI Navy brings an awesome alternative to black, providing color while maintaining a neutral palette. The Robson Hooded Dress in mesh crochet and linen offers a mini silhouette with short sleeve coverage and unique details like crochet contrast inserts and pockets. Adorably feminine yet athletic-inspired, Robson is a go-to cropped dress that feels subdued in Navy yet perfectly playful in cut and color all the same.

Also available in pastel Peaceful Blue, Robson feels like a tomboy take on your classic Summer sundress. Opt for an artisan feel with the cotton crochet Alistair Tank and matching linen crochet Ismay Wide Leg pant in Navy.

With a v-neck and curved hemline, Alistair features a stunning detailed texture that flows seamlessly into Ismay’s flared, cropped silhouette. Dress this look up with some tan or cognac heels or skip the formalities and head straight to a simple sandal for a coastal-cool ensemble that’s comfortable as can be.

With sketched white circles against a dark blue, Gyve Maritime pigment brings some playful geometry to the Crestwell Top in ever-so-soft jersey. An elevated tee, Crestwell pairs lovingly with White pants from this latest collection, such as the gauze Elinore Wide Leg.

As another option for tops, Voltaic Icicle wash brings a white, blue, and aqua linear tie-dye to piece s like the Vivi Top. With a shirred hemline for a cinched fit, boxy sleeves, and snap-up button details in back, Vivi turns a tee into a blouse and re-defines casual. Voltaic Icicle also makes its mark on the light linen Judith Tank, a classic yet upgraded, bra-friendly, go-to sleeveless top. In this icy printed colorway, you’ll stay cool for the Summer.

Distress Stream brings aquatic texture to double gauze blouses like the classic Wendell Button-Up and bohemian-inspired Pearl top. The chunky, texturized feel of Distress Stream on double gauze creates some unique detail for this colorway. A watery, mid-blue tone, Distress Stream offers a callback to serenity in the midst of a heady Summer. Wear this wash with the cargo Sumas Culotte in White soft twill and you’ve got a look that beautifully combines summery softness with some necessary edge.

Peaceful Blue offers an illuminating mid-tone that signals a comeback to soothing, cooling, and sophisticated shades for the Summer season. Relaxing and ethereal, Peaceful Blue incorporates some pastel inspiration in with the brights. The mesh knit and light linen Bonifay Top upgrades a slightly slouchy tee with a semi-cropped fit and crochet contrast. Wear with the matching Otis Jogger in the same fabric combination. A tapered pant with an adjustable drawstring waistband, Otis looks and feels breezily casual—like wearing a piece of the sky.

For a slightly more business-friendly look in Peaceful Blue, opt for the Sasja Tank and Staccia Gaucho. This high-neck, slightly boxy tank provides excellent coverage without being constricting, while the cargo details on Staccia bring in a bit of structure and harder elements into the mix.

Lead Cast brings some contrast to the days of unending sunshine. An unexpected hue for Summer, neutral silvery gray looks stately on the matching brio poplin Drake Jacket and Zayd Legging, both featuring functional pockets and rolled-up detail at the hems.

For a slightly darker, more grunge-inspired hue, Black Pearl shines with a distressed look. The soft twill Austen Shirt Dress offers a mini cut silhouette that lightens the mood, accentuating details like front patch and side pockets. Wear Austen with some slides or sandals, and play up either the grungier side of this look or opt for softer accessories that bring out the girliness of this silhouette.

Also available in Black Pearl, the Bellamy Skirt perfectly embodies the grunge vibe. Exaggerated cargo pockets and a midi cut bring some 90s vintage inspiration into the mix. Pair Bellamy with the Wei Tank in pale, blue-tinged gray Soft Pebble. With grommet-detailed antique brass straps, a v-neck, and adjustable cinched hemline, Wei brings out the cool tones and details in any look she’s a part of.

This latest XCVI collection offers a diverse range of blue hues that are perfect for enhancing your summer wardrobe. From the calming and celebratory Navy to the tomboyish charm of Peaceful Blue, these shades bring a cool and sophisticated touch to your outfits. With this collection, XCVI invites you to embrace the versatility and beauty of blue in your Summer fashion, creating a seasonal color story that’s long-lasting and versatile as can be.
