Minnesota Monthly‘s May/June fashion shoot was inspired by the very thing Minnesotans love most about their state—it’s great outdoors. From walleye fishing and Great Lake sailing to bird-watching and horseback riding, this eight-shot lookbook puts a local twist on the season’s must-have trends, appealing to Minnesota’s innate spirit of adventure. And its not so far-fetched an idea—not in an era dominated by hyper-specific microtrends like “fisherman aesthetic,” “English equestrian,” and “cottage core,” which draw aesthetic inspiration from idealized outdoor lifestyles. Directed and styled by our Style Editor with the help of local brands, boutiques, and vintage shops, here is a look inside our high-fashion summer retreat—shot by Lauren Krysti on location at Green Acres Event Center.
