Element Europe had visions of glimmering pools and pina coladas dancing in its head when it conceived of the 'Desert Oasis' collection.
The collection is comprised of t-shirts, button-ups, board shorts, dresses and accessories in shades of turquoise and khaki. It is accompanied by a line of footwear, featuring the brand's signature sneaker silhouette, available in a rich palette of aqua, navy and floral hues.
If this unisex, vintage-inspired collection doesn't get you in the mood for summer, I don't know what will! It has all the elements -- get it -- of the season: lightweight fabrics, casual silhouettes and zesty colors and patterns that bring to mind the sun and sea. These pieces are perfect for poolside relaxation and day drinking.
