However, with your favorite brands focused on the boots, coats, and knitwear of the season, inspiration for beach-to-bar attire may be somewhat lacking this time of year.

And since pickings are a bit slimmer than say, the middle of May, it's strategic to stick to the essentials (and stock up on those more trend-driven pieces later on).
