The sun’s out, and it’s time to enjoy the freedom that summer brings. You want to look good, but you don’t want to waste time staring at your closet, figuring out what to wear. That’s why the right summer outfits are easy, chic, and ready to put on and go. Add these summer fashion pieces into your rotation, and show off your amazing and confident personal style.

1. Romper

Who doesn’t love a romper, right? It’s a versatile one-piece and can be worn for a fancy event such as a wedding or super casual for a day at the beach. Rompers come in a variety of styles, fabric textures, and lengths. These cute playsuits can exude elegance, sportiness, and a feminine silhouette.

The romper is easy to style, and your footwear can be as simple as a pair of white sneakers, strappy sandals, or comfortable heels. Add a lightweight blazer and a cute handbag, and your ensemble is complete.

2. All-White

Monochromatic dressing can kick your summer style factor up another fabulous notch, especially when you create an all-white outfit. It’s cool, classic, and slimming for every figure. Try a simple white T-shirt, a white Henley top, or a button-up white blouse over a pair of white pants. Maybe white jeans are more your vibe. Look inside your closet to build an all-white ensemble. You will find staples such as the tee, a white tank, or a white linen vest.

Your accessories, such as a black raffia bag, black-buckled slides, and a black belt, can add a lovely contrast.

3. Gingham

This vintage pattern is sizzling hot for summer, and it’s hard to beat a pretty gingham maxi or midi dress. It’s very girlie and perfect for the season and comes in delicious colors like pink, green, yellow, red, and blue. The tiny check pattern woven with white is fab on women of all ages.

A gingham dress is a fine example of daywear styling, and you can add sandals and a denim jacket to tie it all together. Look for details such as ruching, tiers, puffed sleeves, etc.

4. Barbie Pink

Pink is trending high this summer thanks to the Warner Bros. movie, “Barbie,” starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. The color Barbie pink has exploded across the fashion scene, with celebrities and non-celebrities alike embracing the vibrant shade.

Princess Kate, the global fashion icon, has been photographed looking resplendent in a pale pink suit. When you wear pink from head to toe, keep your accessories simple such as a white bag and white sandals. The color pink is powerful as a statement on its own.

5. Shorts

Summertime is ideal for showing off a bit of skin, and a pair of cute shorts can be the foundation of a gorgeous outfit. You have tons of options, too. There are denim shorts that will work in any summer wardrobe for casual outings. Denim never goes out of style. White denim cut-offs are another fashion favorite and can add interest to your wardrobe rotation.

Shorts look fantastic with a simple tee or top. You can also dress them up with a linen blazer or even a leather cropped jacket when the temperatures cool down. Your footwear can also enhance your ensemble. The right pair of strappy sandals or espadrilles can knock your look out of the park. Shorts are a simple, classic summer fashion that never disappoints.

6. Lace

If you’re looking to infuse your wardrobe with feminine touches, a little lace is a gal’s best friend. Lace is on-trend this summer season, and you can use it often in your style rotation. You don’t have to choose a lacy lingerie dress, but that look is red-hot at the moment. If you’d prefer lace subtlety, it’s out there, too.

Consider a lace hem on a skirt or a top in a delicate fabric with lace edging. There are also lace handbags, lace sandals, and lace shoes. White lace and black lace have been the most popular, but now colored lace is in style. Try a bit of purple lace or bright blue lace peeking under your linen shirt with jeans.

7. Fringe

It’s no secret that fringe adds playfulness and pizzazz to any summer ensemble, and it’s making fashion headlines. Fringe boasts an interesting texture and can make a subtle or dramatic statement. You don’t want to go overboard, however. The whimsical trend can add just the perfect touch to an outfit.

Kimonos in flowing fabrics with fringe details can add elegance to a boho outfit with jeans, a tank top, and sandals. A lovely fringe top and matching skirt are a great option for a summer event. Or how about carrying a fringe handbag with your outfit to the office? You can be on-trend without wearing 2-foot-long pieces of fringe, for example. The shorter the fringe, the more subtle the style statement becomes.

8. Metallics

Nope, this isn’t an ode to the ’80s. Metallics are in for everyday style and will add a modern sheen and sophistication to your wardrobe favorites. Again, you can take your metallic preferences to a demure or dramatic level. A summer dress with luxurious metallic threads can offer pure elegance. Shimmery fabrics always catch the eye. There are metallic bikinis and metallic cover-ups in silver or gold.

A pair of metallic ballet flats looks fab with dressed-down denim and a tank top.

Summer Fashion Never Looked So Fun

You don’t have to upgrade your entire wardrobe to look chic this summer. The magic is in adding a few exquisite pieces to your personal style rotation.

As legendary designer Diane von Furstenberg once said, “Style is something each of us already has, all we need to do is find it.”
