Summer dressing is at its best when it’s effortless. That throw-it-on-and-go magic? It starts with the right basics—pieces that work across the whole season and still feel like you. At Drift, we’re anchoring our summer wardrobe with a few tried-and-true staples that go beyond “just basics.” These are pieces that breathe, move with you, and give you endless styling range.

Meet your four-piece foundation for high-summer days, weekend lounging, and everything in between.

The White Tank That Goes with Everything: Poppy by AGOLDE

A white tank is non-negotiable—but this one hits different. The Poppy Tank by AGOLDE has a thick ribbed knit, a flattering square neckline, and a cropped length that plays perfectly with high-waisted anything.

Why we love it:

  • Clean, minimal shape with elevated structure

  • Thick straps = no adjusting or slipping

  • Perfect for layering or wearing solo

The Boxer Short Reimagined: Donni Boxer Shorts

We’re calling it: boxer shorts are the sleeper hit of the summer. Donni’s version is lightweight, breezy, and polished enough to wear outside the house.

Why we love them:

  • Relaxed fit with a subtly structured waistband

  • Light cotton or poplin that’s heatwave-approved

  • Feels like lounge, looks like streetwear

The Stripe That Works Every Time: Donni Striped Pant

Stripes are the new neutral, and Donni’s striped pant gives major laid-back coastal energy. These wide-leg, flowy pants are ideal for beach days, coffee runs, or spontaneous dinners.

Why we love them:

  • Light, breathable fabric with flowy movement

  • Elastic waistband = pull-on perfection

  • The subtle stripe feels playful but classic

The Ultimate Soft White Pant: Leset Nando Lounge Pant

White pants can be risky—but not when they’re as wearable as the Leset Nando Lounge Pant. Think luxe loungewear that doubles as elevated daywear.

Why we love them:

  • Buttery soft fabric with stretch and structure

  • Slight flare at the leg for shape

  • White that’s thick enough to feel secure, but still breathable

Four pieces. Infinite outfits. These summer basics are designed to flex with your day—whether you're staying in, stepping out, or living in-between. At Drift, we believe basics should feel anything but boring. This is your soft-uniform for a sun-drenched, style-first season.
