Stylish Summer Outfits That Make Getting Dressed Easy
Don’t look now, but summer is here, which means the time has come to showcase your hot-weather style with some fresh ’fits. Whether you plan to hit the beach with your crew or stay in with the A/C blasting, there’s no reason you can’t do it wearing something cute. If inspiration is lacking, you’re in luck, I found the best casual summer outfit ideas out there, inspired by major celebrities like Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner and street style mavens alike.
Stick to basics with an airy sundress and summer sandals or perhaps—if you’re feeling newly inspired by the NBA playoffs—opt for something sporty like a summer tracksuit and heels. At the end of the day, a cute outfit can make all the difference (at least, that’s what I believe!). Check out the stylish summer outfits you can all season long, below.
Cropped T-shirt + Straight-Leg Jeans + Loafers
When in doubt, you can never go wrong with a pair of jeans and a baby tee. Take notes from Kendall Jenner, who accessorized this classic combo with loafers and a baseball cap for an effortlessly cool and casual look you can wear on repeat.
Jean shorts and summer just go together, and what better time to wear your favorites? Throw on your trusty Adidas Sambas, like Hailey Bieber, and your go-to denim jacket for when the temps start to dip, and you’re set.
Take a page from Bella Hadid and tap into the Western trend. Center your outfit around a pair of chic cowboy boots, and then style them with a fun graphic tee and cutoff shorts. You’ll have a trend-worthy outfit ready in no time.
Don’t feel obligated to dress up if you’re planning to lay low this summer. Sometimes, a sweatshirt and comfy sweatpants are the move. A monochromatic look like this one from Jennifer Lopez still looks put-together and elevated, even when you’re in a loungewear set. I anticipate no regrets.
An all-black ensemble is perfect for any occasion, including a barbecue or picnic. A romantic dress and ballet flats paired with a dainty necklace come together for an ensemble fit for a daytime outing.
Feeling like a woman on the move? A lightweight tracksuit is just what’s in order. And if you want to give it a fashion-girl twist, style it with this season’s trending aviator sunglasses and a pair of metallic sandals.
Sports jerseys are trending for summer—and if you’re looking for an unexpected way to style yours, consider a cute bubble skirt. Spice things up with metallic accessories, and I guarantee you’ll be primed for a post on the grid.
For something that feels casual but still elevated, consider a fitted cardigan paired with Bermuda shorts. Polished details like ballet flats and a leather designer bag will take things up a level.
Nothing beats the heat quite like a sundress, which makes it a great option for your summer uniform. It’s easy, effortless, and chic—not to mention versatile. Wear it to dinner alfresco or for your neighborhood barbecue. This is a staple that can be as dressed up or down as you want it.
No doubt, a long black skirt is the most underrated MVP of your everyday wardrobe. For a go-to look, you can wear again and again, opt for a denim jacket, a classic white T-shirt, and easy flats (like the ones shown here, in the ever-popular butter yellow hue). It’s a classy and casual look that’ll work for nearly any summer occasion.
