What does "Americana" look like in the spring/summer time?
I really dig the Americana look in the fall/winter. Boots, jeans, layers, dark colors.
How does that translate to spring and summer? Jeans and boots seem to be out of the question once it hits 80°F in the summer.

Chambray
Looser jeans are surprisingly comfy when it's hot. I wear my Levi's year round. Fatigues or canvas pants (or shorts versions of both) are great too
Shoes are tougher. White or black converse are Americana adjacent and comfortable in the summer
there's a lot of ideas for what could work on here

Linen/flax and chambray are great for warmer weather. Tropical weight wool is also fantastic in the heat, breathes really well. Same with Hopsack and fresco.
Seersucker too depending on location. Poplin for chinos and shorts is also good
jeans and wife pleasers. loafers can work great in summer fits too
I’m begging you call them ribbed tanks
Chambray and lighter weight jeans. I also like to wear some linen or cotton/linen blends. Aloha/Hawaiian shirts are also popular among Americana brands. Freenote and 3Sixteen always release a few, and you can find a number at Self Edge when the season is right
Beams plus has great prints for shirts in the summer as well.
