6 Summer Outfits That Are Easy, On-Trend and Stylish
I'm always in search of fresh outfit inspiration and, now that we're heading into what should be the warmer months—though it's never quite guaranteed, is it?—I'm in the market for ensembles of the summer variety. Above all else, I'm looking for outfit ideas that not only feel of the moment but also make me feel great when I slip them on. I know that's a tall order.
As such, I've slowly begun saving down some of the best summer outfits that feel especially 2023 as I see them on Instagram and, although the season is just getting started, I've already assembled quite the collection of inspiration. From the coolest way to style denim skirts, which are so prevalent right now, to the easy hack for making your high-summer dresses work right now, keep scrolling to see six summer 2023 outfits and trends that will make getting dressed a joy over the next few months.
1. STRIPED SHIRT + WIDE-LEG TROUSERS
Style Notes: Stripe shirts are proving more prevalent than ever this season, with influencers opting for relaxed styles worn unbuttoned with wide-leg trousers to create an instantly breezy look.
Shop the Look:
2. BANDEAU DRESS + STRAW CLUTCH
Style Notes: If there's one dress trend to take note of this season, it's the bandeau dress, which is evident in so many collections this summer. I particularly like the bright hues that are coming through, which pair beautifully with raffia bags.
Shop the Look:
3. FLUID CO-ORD + VERSATILE ACCESSORIES
Style Notes: Just as easy to throw on as any dress, co-ords are just as popular an outfit choice for summer; just switch out knitted fabrications for lightweight textiles such as satin or linen.
Shop the Look:
4. DENIM SKIRT + SNEAKERS
Style Notes: This is the year of the skirt with so many variations of the trend coming through. Perhaps the most timely is the denim skirt, which works with everything you would ordinarily wear your jeans with, including trainers.
Shop the Look:
5. LINEN TROUSERS + CROPPED BLOUSE
Style Notes: Linen trousers are a summer style mainstay, but this season, we're seeing vivid hues come through in place of the neutrals that usually dominate this piece. Offset high-waist pairs with a cute cropped blouse and basket bag for balmy days out.
Shop the Look:
6. WHITE DRESS + SLOUCHY JUMPER
Style Notes: Is there anything more summery than a white cotton dress? Give yours a low-key spin by styling it with a knotted jumper around your shoulders and finishing with a trending pair of trainers.
