Summer style made easy: 5 Sunny outfits

Is trying to piece together a summer outfit not as easy and breezy as you’d hoped it would be? Don’t stress! We’ve got five super-cute summer ensembles all picked out and ready so you don’t waste any time getting outside and enjoying the sun!

The best part about summer? Being able to throw on a dress and sandals and just go! This red Free People dress ($128) is smocked to give a stretchy and comfortable fit that looks good on anyone. Complement the look with these simple black Tory Burch thong sandals ($195) and finish it off with a handmade casual-cool Tundra bracelet from Etsy seller BeadsnBones ($55).

This summer we plan to spend as much time outdoors as possible, and shopping is no exception! Take to the boardwalk or outdoor mall in this fun yet put-together ensemble. This striated maxi dress from Anthropologie ($148) is easy to take off and put back on in dressing rooms. Slip on these Stella and Dot blue dangle earrings ($34) and this apricot crossbody from Dorothy Perkins ($29) and you’re set for the day!

We can’t think of anything cuter to wear to a backyard BBQ than this chambray tie-front crop top from dELiAs ($34). Complete the look with this $69 white maxi skirt from Guess (just watch where you sit!) and add a touch of glam with a personalized monogram necklace from Max and Chloe ($155).

What can we say? We’re literally obsessed with all three of these summer staple pieces! Lace shorts like these from Abercrombie ($41) might seem risky, but we dare you to try them! Everyone will be asking you where you got them! Wear them with this feminine draped ASOS top ($78). And we can’t get enough of the rose gold buckle details on these Sam Edelman natural wedges ($150)! They’re definitely the go-to shoe this summer.

Mint is hot this summer! A fun way to wear it is by going monochromatic. Pair these mint Hudson skinny jeans ($165) with this draped cutout Anthropologie tank ($188) for a stylish outfit. Grab this gold and powder H&M bag ($18) and you’re ready to step out and celebrate summer.
