BREEZY BEACH GETAWAY

RETHINK PINK hue is the perfect way to enliven your look, either with just a hint of the playful shade—a loosely worn sweater, a button-down beneath a blazer—or by opting for a peony pink belted shirt dress or gingham cropped trousers, paired with a relaxed button down, a fitted Polo, or a white denim jacket.

The low-key charm of Vero Beach makes it the perfect destination for an easygoing weekend (or weeklong) getaway among the live oaks of one of Florida’s most sought after hideaways. Envision the kind of place where celebrities stroll the public boardwalk and no one makes a fuss. A locale for all ages, the quietly sophisticated coastal hamlet offered the ideal mix of old world charm and modern day luxe to form the backdrop of J.McLaughlin’s March Style guide. Think breezy button-downs, and relaxed shades of blue and white denim for those hoping to enjoy the chilled out, surf-side vibe, while belted shirt dresses, refined linen, and crisp neutrals felt modern and fresh for afternoon strolls among landscaped gardens and architecture.

Upgrade your game on and off the court this March dressed in J.McLaughlin’s latest line of performance wear (polos, shorts, skorts...), available in an array of bold colors and floral or geometric patterns. And play to win—as well as for a good cause—with a new line of pickleball paddles, created in collaboration with Play For P.I.N.K., an organization that devotes 100% of funds raised to breast cancer research. The limited-edition paddles are available in two retro preppy designs, and donate 15% of proceeds directly to Play For P.I.N.K. Equipped with this gear you’re sure to distract your opponent and reign King or Queen of the sport. u
