It’s officially that time of year when getting dressed is more challenging than ever in my opinion. It’s humid, it’s hot, it’s sticky and looking pulled together is tough—but certainly not impossible. Here, I’m sharing three summer outfit ideas for blazing hot weather that you can wear any day of the week. All of them have one thing in common—they start with minimal base layers. From there, add a great lightweight jacket, unexpected accessory, or cool pair of shoes, so your personal style doesn’t melt away with the summer heat. Is anyone else already counting down to fall weather?
bike shorts + oversized top
If you’ve been following along with me on Instagram, you know this is my most-worn look at the moment. I love bike shorts because they can so easily be dressed way up or way down, depending on what you pair them with. Try these bike shorts with this oversized t-shirt and a simple chain necklace for the perfect WFH look. When date night rolls around, pair the same shorts with this top and these heels. See how easy that was?
feminine dress + sneakers
This is probably the most low maintenance of all of these outfits because it’s just one throw-on-and-go piece. I love the combination of a girly dress with sporty sneakers—like these high top Converse or these cool-girl Nikes. Bonus: all of the dresses below are under $150.
shorts + tank top + 3rd piece
Shorts and a tank top are such a casual duo, but when you add a third piece like a cropped denim jacket or a lightweight blazer, it’s instantly 500 times chicer. While you probably don’t need a jacket in the current climate, this look is perfect for summer evenings or for air-conditioned spaces.
