Summer Outfit Formula
When it comes to summer fashion we don’t have time to worry about having the perfect outfit to wear everyday. We’d rather spend that precious time out in the sun at the beach or tanning poolside in the backyard. We think it’s actually easier to pick out an outfit in the summer because unlike winter, we have less options when it comes to crafting the perfect fit because we’re literally wearing less clothing. However, we still thought we’d share with you our not-so-secret formula for the perfect, fail proof summer outfit that nails it every time.
Our first step in this equation? Choosing the ideal summer button down. A striped cotton shirt like the Ralph Lauren Collection Capri Striped Cotton Blouse is classic summer with a modern twist and perfect for a day to night transition. We also like the Alice + Olivia Brady Oversized Button Front Shirt for its elegant floral summer print and its relaxed oversized fit which is perfect for keeping cool. For a more delicate and feminine vibe, try styling this Rails Nicoletta Watercolor Blouse which has a sense of whimsy with it’s watercolor hue and ruffles.
Next we need a good pair of shorts, because you can’t have the perfect summer fit without a pair of shorts and this summer we’re going to need a few. These FRAME Pleated Wide-Cuff Shorts are crafted from lightweight fabric with a flattering pleated design, and have a relaxed yet polished aesthetic that's perfect for summer days. For a longer silhouette these Vince Washed Cotton Pleated Wide-Leg Shorts feature a chic wide-leg silhouette and a soft washed cotton construction, and offer a laid-back yet luxurious feel that's ideal for warm-weather outings. Finally, we had to include a denim option because it just wouldn’t be summer without it. The MOTHER Dodger Short Short adds a touch of vintage-inspired charm to your summer wardrobe with their distressed detailing and frayed hems. They’re the perfect “lived in” short to add to your closet this summer.
Now, as expected, this formula won’t provide the best results without the perfect summer sandal. This summer is all about comfort but that doesn’t mean we’re still not keeping up with what’s trending and with what’s in style. When it comes to sandals the Prada Leather Dual-Buckle Slide Sandals are the perfect remedy for keeping cool. The sleek leather construction and thick buckle straps are the perfect blend of fashion and function. However, if you’re looking for a sleeker sandal that’s less chunky and more versatile then opt of the Christian Louboutin Leather Thong Red Sole Slide Sandals, they’re a comfortable kitten heel with that iconic red sole that will be unmistakable this summer. One, two, three easy steps to follow for the perfect summer fit. Let us know the unforgettable looks you’re putting together this season.
