I'm a Fashion Editor—Here's My Secret to Making My Summer Outfits Look Luxe

I absolutely love summer, but when it comes to dressing for sweltering, sweat-inducing, humid temps, it can often be tricky to navigate, especially when you want your outfit to appear less on the casual side and more on the "Sofia Richie in the South of France" stylish side.
As a fashion editor, there are a few summer dressing tricks I swear by for a more luxe look. This summer, I'm particularly leaning toward one micro-trend that exudes chic Chanel vibes but doesn't need to cost Chanel prices. It's my secret to making my summer ensembles look more elevated and put-together. And I've been spotting the trend all over the fashion crowd this summer. I'm talking about black and white clothing with contrast-trim details. Whether you go for a simple dress, swimsuit, or top, the chic two-tone style always makes every outfit look chic and polished.
If you need further proof, take a look below at the chicest black-and-white contrast-trim pieces on the market right now that are guaranteed to make your summer outfits look seriously expensive and get inspired by how fashion people (Sofia Richie included) are styling theirs this summer.
