Want easy, stylish summer outfits? My top tip: invest in a two-piece set! Having at least one lightweight matching set is essential. It’s a complete outfit ready to go, perfect for dressing up or down. Maximize your summer style by wearing the set together or mixing and matching the individual pieces.

Tayla’s vibrant, asymmetrical striped outfit exudes a playful Y2K vibe. It’s ideal for a relaxed vacation dinner or enjoying cocktails on a balmy summer evening as you watch the sunset.

Here’s another easy summer outfit I’m loving! Recreate Sinead’s style with a beige linen skirt. Pair it with a cool, oversized graphic tee, such as this Jil Sander logo tee (which I also own and adore!). Complete the look with white sandals and a raffia tote bag. This pulls the entire relaxed summer outfit together perfectly.

Summer knit + shorts.

Summer isn’t always about scorching heat! Depending on your location or the daily forecast, a lightweight knit is often essential. I frequently grab a classic crewneck sweater for a comfortable extra layer. Combat those chilly summer mornings with denim shorts for a perfectly balanced, seasonal style.

Cotton shorts, graphic tee + sneakers.

Boxer shorts are my summer staple for 2025. I consistently choose my cotton poplin shorts. They offer supreme comfort and a cool alternative to denim or linen when it gets hot.

Boxer shorts now boast diverse prints and vibrant colors, injecting instant fun into any outfit. For relaxed days, I pair mine with a graphic tee, sneakers, and a denim jacket for added warmth if needed.

Nautical neutrals.

A striped cotton sweater is a summer essential, I believe. This nautical knit offers versatile styling options for the season. Try layering it over a mini dress. Or, pair it with tailored linen shorts, as I’ve done here. Not a fan of shorts? Substitute them with a white poplin midi skirt. This creates a similar, polished preppy look.

Pop of red.

The “pop of red” trend is dominating social media! This easy styling hack is perfect year-round, especially for summer. Simply add a single red item – shoes, a bag, or a top – to instantly upgrade a basic outfit.

Sasha absolutely slayed this bold trend! She combined a fiery red knit top with crisp white boxer shorts and classic Mary Jane flats. The pearl accents give this ensemble a truly summery vibe.

All-black outfit.

Let me assure you, rocking an all-black ensemble in summer is perfectly acceptable (and stylish!). The secret? Opt for breathable black materials such as linen and cotton. This will help you stay cool and avoid absorbing excessive sunlight.

This summer, I’m obsessed with this black linen vest top and its matching shorts. It’s the perfect chic and versatile outfit for both daytime adventures and evening events.

Summer stripes.
