Here comes summer! Finally. And it makes us want to talk to you about looks, appearances, and style during your vacation. Do you remember vacations? That time spent relaxing without doing anything, sipping cocktails, visiting beautiful villages... we had almost forgotten what it was like. But vacation doesn't necessarily mean flip-flops and vests. Because this year, many of us will most certainly be staying in France, the most beautiful country in the world, but also... the most stylish! So we have to live up to it.
With your vaccination passport in your pocket, we suggest you take a look at some of the destinations popular with holidaymakers, with several ideas for looks so you don't let yourself go. So, more Côte d'Azur or Basque Country?
Heading for the mountain
Let's first head for the oxygen, towards the mountains! Jura, Vosges, Pyrenees or Savoie, it's up to you to judge. Forests, lakes, hikes, during the day, you will most certainly need technical clothing, but in the evening, soup and bed? No thanks! Dinners, aperitifs, you need to have fresh and ready looks. We suggest you start with a 100% cotton look, which consists of beige chinos (more summery) paired with a white t-shirt , simple but effective. On top, and because the evenings are often chilly at altitude, we add a linen and cotton work jacket . In addition, the colors blend in very well with nature... Namaste.
Côte d'Azur, the great classic!
For many French people, sunny days mean a trip to the Côte d'Azur. A posh destination, you have to stand out. Open shirts and a shiny gold chain? No. In the Hast spirit, it's more a linen and seersucker shirt that dresses you up for the evening's saving glass of rosé. Two materials that will make you the king of bingo evenings or simply of a good restaurant with a table on fine sand. Pants or swimsuit , you'll always have what you need.
Southwest my love
Welcome to the BAB, as the locals say. Biarritz, Anglet, Bayonne, the golden triangle of the Basque coast, and fans of surfing and bulls! Yes, because between a few tapas evenings on the beach, you will have the chance to go to the few local ferias. And for the occasion, it seems that a red and white look is essential. Beige pleated trousers to stand out, all the same, and a casual cotton, linen and ramie shirt with red and white stripes. And for surfers, we always recommend keeping a denim overshirt nearby. We wouldn't want to catch a cold after a long session
The Great Atlantic
Some of us like to swim in cold water in the summer. One of the most popular destinations in France happens to be Brittany. We're kidding, it's also one of our favorites. Cancale oysters, Kouign-Amann, Galettes saucisses, salted butter caramel... there's work to be done. You have to take a work jacket , easy to put on and easy to take off while everyone else will be in raincoats. Sheltered from the wind but not from the tides... Down below, should I put on chinos or shorts ? Take both and find out before going for a walk.
Normandy when you hold us
We continue to the neighbor, next door certainly, but yet so different! Normandy, its fine sandy beaches, its turquoise waters, ah sorry I got the wrong line. More seriously it is THE trendy destination. We photographed our next collection there and the region is worth the detour! Breathtaking landscapes, countryside and sea juxtaposed, and, from the Yport cliffs to the Deauville boards, you will have to take care of your style.
We therefore opted for the khaki green chinos, the blue and white striped shirt, with an officer collar , a tribute to the landing, and to top it all off , a beige linen work jacket , made in Normandy!
We do not forget the Dordogne, Provence, the Opal Coast… and all the many riches of our territory! So many other things to see, and Hast looks to invent… See you soon and have a good holiday!
