Summer Chicago Watering Holes with Jantzen

Can you believe the first day of summer is less than two weeks? Hellllllooooo summer solstice.

Speaking of warm weather, I can’t get enough of the one piece swimsuit trend. Have you tried it yet? Jantzen has the cutest suits and coverups this year. Did you know they’re the first swim brand in American history and were favorites of Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana?

Chic swimwear and accessories are pool and beach staples these days. There’s nothing better than popping on a flowy caftan over your suit to grab an alfresco bite or drink. Don’t forget the shades!

In honor of my favorite Chicago season – below’s list consists of my favorite summer watering holes! There are so many other incredible spots in the city, but these seem to get repeated frequently…

Favorite Chicago Summer Spots!

A long day at Oak Street Beach and an iced cold beer at Oak Street Beach Cafe
Sip 1/2 priced rosé happy hour in Hampton Social’s hammock (every weekday)
Lincoln Park Farmer’s Market (first get an iced coffee at Elaine’s, followed up by a donut at the Donut Vault Truck)
An evening ice cream at Mariano Park (the pinnacle of the Viagra Triangle on Cedar & Rush St.)
The Architectural Boat Tour (a favorite of locals too)
Strawberry shortcake at Gibson’s alfresco (only offered in the summer!)
Fireworks and cocktails at Trump Tower’s rooftop
Rosé snow cones at Expat (still haven’t been but I know it’s good!)
Brunch at Summer House Santa Monica (their fruit salad and screw drivers are to die for)
Dinner at Piccolo Sogno patio (get the famous Piccolo Sogno pasta)
