What to Wear for Labor Day
Labor Day weekend has a very specific dress code.
You're not quite ready to say goodbye to summer, nobody wants to overthink an outfit, and somehow every plan involves being near the water.
So we're keeping things easy: polished swimwear, breezy pareos, effortless cover-ups, and dresses that can handle everything from lunch by the pool to the last dinner of the long weekend.
Whether you're heading to the beach, spending the afternoon on a boat, or staying somewhere with a pool and absolutely no agenda, these are the Hermoza looks we're wearing for Labor Day weekend.
The Two-Looks-in-One: Maren in Profound Pairing
Long weekends call for options, and the Maren/Renata Reversible Tankini in Profound Pairing gives you two looks without taking up any extra room in your suitcase.
The high-neck halter silhouette feels polished and easy, while the reversible design lets you switch up your two-piece swimsuit depending on the day.
Wear one side for a morning by the pool, flip it the next day for the beach, and suddenly the same swimsuit feels completely new.
It's exactly the kind of versatile piece we want for Labor Day weekend: flattering, comfortable, and ready for whatever is on the itinerary.
Two looks. One suitcase spot. We're sold.
The White Swimsuit Moment: Amelia + Isla
If there were ever a weekend for a crisp white swimsuit, this is it.
The Amelia V-Neck Wrap One-Piece Swimsuit in Sugar feels timeless and feminine, with its flattering V-neckline and waist-defining wrap detail.
And then we're adding color.
Throw the Isla Wrap Dress in Teaberry over the Amelia in Sugar when you're ready to leave the pool.
The bold Teaberry shade against the white one-piece gives you that bright end-of-summer color moment without feeling overly complicated.
Isla's tailored collar and wrap silhouette make it polished enough for lunch, while its airy linen-blend fabric keeps it easy enough to wear as a cover-up straight from the water.
This is the Labor Day outfit for the person whose plans are technically “pool and lunch” but who would still like to look very cute doing both.
The Classic Navy Look: Natalie + Profound Pairing Pareo
When in doubt, navy.
The Natalie One-Piece Swimsuit in Midnight Navy is one of those pieces that makes a Labor Day beach outfit feel instantly polished.
The rich navy hue keeps things classic, while the feminine detailing gives the Natalie a little more personality than your basic navy swimsuit.
Pair it with the Venus Long Pareo Cover-Up in Profound Pairing for an easy tonal look.
The long wrap silhouette gives you elegant coverage without adding bulk, while the lightweight fabric makes it the kind of pareo you can keep tying a different way all weekend.
For Dinner: Party on the Prairie
Eventually, someone is going to suggest dinner.
And while we're perfectly happy living in swimwear all weekend, Labor Day deserves at least one really good dress moment.
For something breezy and a little more romantic, reach for the Claudia Maxi Dress in Party On Prairie.
The relaxed sleeveless silhouette, tiered skirt, and delicate floral print make the Claudia exactly right for a warm evening by the water.
It's easy enough for an afternoon coastal stroll but still feels special when dinner rolls around.
If you're more of a mini-dress girl, go for the Becky Mini Dress in Party on the Prairie.
The collared button-front silhouette, soft puff sleeves, and self-tie waist give the Becky a little more structure, while the mixed floral print keeps everything playful and summery.
Add sandals and simple jewelry to either one. Nothing else required.
The Labor Day Formula
The best Labor Day weekend outfits aren't the ones that require the biggest suitcase.
They're the pieces that keep changing with your plans.
The Maren/Renata Reversible Tankini in Profound Pairing gives you two swim looks in one, making it an easy choice when you're packing for a long weekend.
The white Amelia in Sugar gets a burst of color under the Isla Wrap Dress.
The Natalie in Midnight Navy goes straight from swimming to lunch with the Venus Pareo in Profound Pairing.
And when it's finally time to leave the beach behind for the night, the Claudia and Becky are waiting.
That's our kind of long-weekend wardrobe.
One More Long Weekend of Summer
Labor Day may be called the unofficial end of summer, but we're not rushing anything.
There are still pool days to be had, lunches by the water to stretch into the afternoon, and at least one more excuse to live in really good swimwear.
So pack the navy. Wear the white. Add the pareo. Bring the dress.
Summer isn't quite done with us yet.
Besos,
Hermoza 🤍
