The Amy Edit

A sun-drenched style guide of what to wear, pack, and repeat all season long

Founder of Amy Atelier, Amy Yount has been curating elevated fashion for the Valley’s most discerning dressers since 2005. 

“I’ve always believed that fashion should feel personal,” she says. “We don’t need more stuff—we need better stuff.” 

With a sharp eye for prints, craftsmanship, and fashion longevity, her Old Town boutique is a go-to for curated, colorful pieces that work hard—and look effortless. 

“I want every piece to feel special and wearable, whether it’s for a beach trip or dinner in town.”

Here’s Amy’s high-summer edit for what to wear, pack, and pull out on repeat this season.

The AMY Aesthetic

  • Amy Atelier leans into bold prints, saturated color, and long-haul pieces meant to last beyond one season.

  • Many brands in-store feature hand-designed prints that feel fresh—not disposable.

  • “Our collections are curated with earth-conscious intention—our customers invest in pieces they’ll treasure.”

Travel Must-Haves

  • Hat Carrying Tote: Janessa Leone’s “Tanner” tote in black, natural, or trending chocolate.

  • Stylish Walking Sandal: Freda Salvador’s Sera Sandal—comfortable, minimal, with turquoise detail.

  • Timeless Airy Dress: The A.L.C. Brock Dress—effortless and always fits.

4th of July, Reimagined

  • Ditch clichés—swap red for pink, stripes for polka dots, navy for turquoise.

  • Try Felecite’s white and navy dotted summer set.

  • Pair light pinks with white denim (Amy loves the Theo embellished button-down).

  • Add a bright pop with IRO’s Shivani turquoise summer cardi.

Under-the-Radar Labels to Watch

  • Sablyn: A quiet luxury brand made for modern minimalists.

  • Camilla (Australia): Sunny daisy prints in fresh yellow, green, and white.

  • L’Agence: Light, neutral jackets with refined hardware—perfect for AZ restaurants.

Still Polished in the Heat

  • Compact knits that travel wrinkle-free (Amy swears by the SIMKHAI Larina dress).

  • Flexible, non-lined boyfriend blazers to elevate shorts.

  • Breezy fabrics with structured cuts that feel light yet luxe.

Versatile Summer Wardrobe 101

  • Invest in unique summer sweaters: sturdy cotton blends, airy crochets.

  • Fan favorite: Maiami’s whimsical knits in unexpected color palettes.

  • Stock up on lightweight, ankle-cropped denim in ivory, white, and tan.

  • Keep a rotation of white tops on hand: fitted v-necks, oversized and crisp cottons.

Men's Edit from The MAN Store

  • Lightweight knit tees from Blue Industry (pink is trending!).

  • Terrycloth shorts sets from 7diamonds for poolside days.

  • Dressier blazer + shorts combos from Distretto12 for a night-out edge.
