Gold Chains And Body Oil

There’s no better month than August—hear us out. It’s hot, but it’s not hottest-month-of-the-year hot (that’s July’s job). Since the sun’s still out for a few hours after you get out of work, the days feel long in the best sense of the phrase. And August is always chill—it kind of has to be since the hustle of back-to-school energy in September never really goes away, even well into adulthood.

Mid-August is also the time of year when it becomes more tolerable to wear makeup again, to return to the multi-step skincare routine that felt too heavy to wear last month, and just maybe reacquaint your body with oil. Your skin was still adjusting to the heat in June, so you were prone to sweating it all off then. And July is... July. Once again, August is the best month. So there’s no better time than now to bask in the glory of 7PM golden hours and put on that thing you’ve been holding off because the heat made it unbearable to wear. For us, that’s body oil and gold chains. Two nice-to-haves that became two gotta-take-offs just a month before. Now they're back. Model Chloé Vero joined us at the beach on a perfect August day to show them off (and since we went to the beach, we decided body oil sunscreens would be more appropriate). Below, five ways to style the dynamic, end-of-summer duo.
