Summer Style Picks: Looks You'll Love All Season Long

Summer is full of fun plans & things to do - grabbing drinks outside in the city, sunset dinners after long days lounging on the beach, dancing the night away with friends, and everything in between. Summer fashion to me is easy to put together outfits, cool sunglasses, statement accessories.

While it’s easy to throw on a dress and call it a day, there are a lot of cool ways you can make a summer outfit more interesting, unique and you. And, of course, when you’re wearing something you feel good in, it can give you that extra boost of confidence.

Here are my picks for ten outfits that will make you look and feel effortlessly stylish & cool.

Drinks in the City:

Whether you’re lucky enough to have Summer Fridays or not, al fresco cocktails are the perfect way to end the work week in the summer.

Pop of Color

This button down style mini dress with pleated hem and colorful beaded shoulder bag is a classy and fun base.

Adding mint heels and turquoise & silver jewelry (necklace & earrings) ties this whole look together.

Throw on a pair of sunglasses and you’re set for sunset drinks.

Jeans & a fun top with a western flare.

I love the style of these Jeffery Campbell kitten heels paired with this fun fringe STAUD bag.

Adding fun orchid earrings, a bold gold cuff and brown-toned sunglasses bring it all together.

Date Night:

Date night can be so many things; from mini golf to romantic dinners to movie nights and beyond.

Elevated Casual

Dark wash jeans and a statement shoe make this classic silky lace top ready for a fun night out. Some understated jewelry, a fun necklace charm and a black bag finish it off.

Nothing says date night like a slip dress.

Centering around a flowery dress and some simple accessories make this look chic & easy. Grab an oversized blazer for some warmth and a smart casual look.

Shoes, necklace & bag

Girls Night Out:

Hit the town with the girls in these fun options.

GNO Ready

I love this bag for a girls night out - it’s a conversation starter. With a simple navy halter dress, some matching heels and dangly but fairly understated earrings, you’re ready for a girls dinner, drinks and dancing.

Bar Hopping

Jeans & a black top are made a little more unique with this textured shoe and statement necklace. This adorable STAUD pink bag with two-tone hardware is super versatile & feminine.

Beach Dinner:

Nothing like getting ready for dinner after a day at the beach.

Beach-y Halter Dress

I love how the tan and cherry in this dress compliment each other. The bag & shoes are a perfect match.

Beach vacations feel like the perfect time to wear lots of fun jewelry to me. This gold charm bracelet will jingle around while you sip on a piña colada. Layer a multicolored necklace with a classic locket to add even more sparkle.

Bronze & Gold

This bronze halter dress goes perfectly with some gold accessories, lace up sandals and sleek sunglasses.

Earrings, bangle, bag & necklace

Park Days:

Whether you’re walking around people-watching or having a picnic with friends, these casual looks hit the spot.

Strawberry Accents

Linen pants are a summer staple! This basket bag with strawberries and gingham lining is perfect for a stroll or picnic in the park. The strawberry bag charm is too cute.

Some gold jewelry gives it a little extra (necklace & charm bracelet).

Tank top & sandals

Ciao!

Love this cutie statement bag with a comfy striped set and some neutral sneakers. The subtle coordination of this outfit makes it effortlessly cool.
