A decade in the fashion industry has taught me a thing or two about creating stylish outfits. While autumn and winter call for chic layering with neutral tones, spring and summer rely on hero pieces like dresses or linen coordinates. Accessories become crucial for balancing proportions and elevating your look. Here are seven go-to Summer Fashion Women outfit formulas I wear on repeat, along with styling tips and shoppable links.
1. Button-Down Shirt + Tank + Denim Shorts
This combination balances casual denim shorts with a more polished button-down shirt for a put-together summer look. Opting for slightly longer denim shorts offers a more mature aesthetic.
A classic white tank top provides a clean base layer under the shirt.
2. Long White Dress + Leather Slides + Tan Bag
A white dress is a summer wardrobe essential. Whether mini or midi, minimalist or detailed, a white dress complements sun-kissed skin. Tan accessories add a relaxed yet sophisticated touch.
Nothing says summer like a flowy white dress paired with neutral accessories.
3. Wide Leg Trousers + Tank Top + Flats or Heels
This versatile combination works with flats for a relaxed feel or heels for the office or a date night. Lightweight wide-leg trousers offer a breezy alternative to jeans while balancing proportions. A simple tank top keeps you cool in the heat.
This outfit effortlessly transitions from day to night with a simple shoe change.
4. Bright Midi Dress + Sandals + Basket Bag
A vibrant midi dress in a solid color makes a timeless statement. Choose a color that flatters your complexion. Pair with sandals and a basket bag for a chic summer look.
A bold color adds personality to your summer wardrobe.
5. Bright Blazer + Jeans + Chunky Sandals
A linen blazer in a bright color adds a pop to classic jeans and a white tank top. Chunky sandals provide a comfortable and stylish footwear option.
6. Strappy Top + Midi Skirt + Flip Flops
A black strappy swimsuit can double as a top when paired with a flowy midi skirt. Simple black flip flops complete this effortless summer outfit.
7. Mini Slip Dress + Gold Jewellery + Trainers
A silky mini slip dress offers a more mature take on the mini dress trend. Elevate the look with gold jewelry and trainers for a comfortable yet stylish ensemble.
