Tuta Zip From 100% Capri
This light and comfy linen jumpsuit is your perfect summer staple. From the sustainable luxury brand 100% Capri, we love how the garment can be zipped down and worn over a bikini after swimming in the blue waters of Ostia. Going for brunch afterwards? Zip up, put on a big patterned sunhat and some snazzy flats–you are all set for some Roman relaxation!
