I'm Not Going to Europe This Summer, But These 8 Cool Outfits Will Make Me Feel Like I Am


According to my Instagram, everyone and their mother is in Europe right now, and while I'm not able to indulge in a European vacation this summer, that hasn't stopped me from admiring all the coolest fashion outfits coming straight out of Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, etc.—and copying them for myself. In fact, I've been bookmarking a whole host of fun, chic, and creative summer outfit ideas that will make me feel like I'm strolling the streets of Paris or sipping on an Aperol Spritz on the picturesque Amalfi coast in no time.
If you're wanting all the "summer in Europe" vibes without having to travel thousands of miles to get there, then take a look at some of my favorite European summer outfits I'm sharing below that you can absolutely copy for yourself.
Whether you're in Paris or Rome, a chic black linen dress will work for day or night. Style it with elegant ballet flats and tie a silk scarf around your waist for a trend-forward touch.
Shop the look:
All the cool girls have been wearing sarongs and Pareo wraps during their coastal European vacations this summer. Style it with a chic camisole or halter top and finish the look with the shoes of summer—flip-flops.
Shop the look:
One print I keep seeing over and over on chic Euro girls this summer? Polka-dots. Whether you opt for a halter dress or top, or go for a low-rise skirt and camisole, the print will unquestionably add a European summer touch to your look.
Shop the look:
Pretty white lace and embroidered tops are everywhere this season. The coolest fashion girls are pairing them in unexpected ways, such as with sporty shorts and rope sandals.
Shop the look:
A breezy and easy white flowy minidress is a summer essential. Get one in with delicate embroidery detail for a romantic touch. Style with white woven flats to finish the chic look.
Shop the look:
Spanish fashion girls aren't afraid of combining colors, prints, and textures. For a fashion-forward look, style fitted polka-dot capri pants with a boxy bright blue tee. A butter yellow bag and silver heels complete the European vacation look.
Shop the look:
For a look that requires zero effort but offers maximum style impact, opt for a chic matching set—one with color and pretty details that instantly says fashion girl.
Shop the look:
You can't go wrong with an effortlessly elegant all-white look. Choose a top and pants with elevated details such as embroidery or a corset silhouette and style with plenty of beaded necklaces, and an of-the-moment scarf styled as a belt.
