6 Tips for Summer Living Inspired by the Mediterranean

By

If you’re ready to bring a little dolce vita to your summer aesthetic, there’s no better time to embrace the sun-kissed, relaxed, and vibrant lifestyle of the Mediterranean. From azure waters to flavorful cuisine and timeless fashion, the Mediterranean offers endless inspiration for creating an unforgettable summer experience. Here’s how you can bring the essence of this enchanting region into your life, no matter where you are.


1. Culinary Delights and Design Elements

Start your journey at your local farmer’s market with fresh ingredients like ripe tomatoes, olive oil, fragrant herbs, and an array of seafood. Roll up your sleeves for classic dishes like Greek salads, Spanish paella, Italian bruschetta, and Provençal ratatouille. Indulge in a glass of crisp white wine or a refreshing Aperol spritz to complete your meal.

 Tip: Host a Mediterranean-themed dinner party with friends, complete with retro stripe ice buckets, fresh flowers, vibrant tablecloths, and removable wallpaper in a Greco garden print inspired by the sun-drenched courtyards of the Mediterranean.

 2. Timeless Fashion and Flowy Structure

Capture the effortless elegance of Mediterranean fashion with light, breathable fabrics and classic styles. Thoughtfully designed shirtdresses, maxi dresses, pareos, and soft PJ shorts sets in bold prints and vibrant colors can all create your ideal sense of style.

 Tip: Look for a long cotton poplin dress with a structured collar and v-neck for timeless design and ultimate breathability. You can style a patterned dress any number of ways for a chic, laidback look, whether it’s with gold jewelry, oversized sunglasses, or cute sandals.

3. Mindful Relaxation and PJs

Mediterranean culture emphasizes the importance of relaxation and enjoying life's simple pleasures. Embrace the "siesta" tradition and enjoy taking a midday break to rest and recharge. It’s summer, and everyone needs some downtime to connect with nature or oneself.

 Tip: Create a quiet, cozy space with a hammock or a comfy daybed. Surround yourself with the calming scents of jasmine and citrus to enhance your relaxation. Siestas are a good time to slip into your soft pajamas in a print inspired by the Mediterranean.

4. Art and Culture

Immerse yourself in the rich culture of the Mediterranean. Explore art, music, and literature from the region to deepen your appreciation and understanding. Visit local art galleries, listen to Mediterranean music, or read classic literature by authors like Homer.

 Tip: Host an art night with friends, featuring Mediterranean music, wine, and a group painting session inspired by the region's landscapes.

 5. Travel Inspirations

If travel is on your agenda, consider visiting Mediterranean hotspots like the Amalfi Coast, the Greek Islands, or the Spanish coastline. Each destination offers its own unique charm, from historic architecture to stunning beaches and vibrant markets.

 Tip: Capture your memories with a travel journal or a scrapbook. Collect mementos like postcards, local recipes, and small souvenirs to reminisce about your adventures.

6. Active Lifestyle … But Chill

The Mediterranean lifestyle is also about staying active. Engage in outdoor activities such as swimming at your local watering hole, walking through a beautiful garden, pedaling a cruiser, or simply strolling along the beach. These activities not only keep you fit but also allow you to enjoy the natural beauty around you.
