Summer is the perfect time to head out, enjoy the sun and catch up with friends. Between fun outdoor brunches and rooftop cocktails, you’ll want to look your best all season long. Here’s some of our favorite outfit ideas to give you a little bit of inspiration for wherever your summer takes you!
City Day
No matter what city you’re visiting this summer, you’ll want to look cool while also staying cool in the summer heat. A funky romper, like this one from Urban Outfitters paired with fun stackable rings, like these from The9thMuse will keep you comfortable and stylish all day.
Beach Day
A day at the beach requires a little bit more than simply a bathing suit! It’s important to stay shady from the sun throughout the day so be sure to pick out a cute coverup and pair of sunglasses. A maxi dress like this cute option from Aerie and round frame Ray-Bans are the perfect match!
Backyard BBQ
Just hearing the word summer reminds us of the smell of hot dogs and tasty treats when enjoying a barbecue outdoors. Whether you’re with family or friends, a unique pair of denim shorts paired with a fun graphic tee is the perfect balance between cute and casual. Try some great options from Free People for styles that will look great all summer long!
Getting Outdoors
There’s nothing more refreshing than spending the day outdoors. There’s endless options ranging from going for a run in your neighborhood, to taking a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood. Either way, you’ll want to have comfortable activewear that will keep you looking comfortable but stylish while breaking a sweat. Some bright colored leggings, like these fun options from Lululemon, go perfectly with running sneakers such as this pair from Nike.
Dinner and Drinks
Due to the long hours of sunlight, most summer activities happen during the day. However, you’ll need some trusty nighttime outfits as well for when you decide to stay out until after the sun goes down. A classic and elegant jumpsuit paired with a fun necklace will carry your look from day to night. These options from Francesca’s and Jewlr are just what you need!
