I Have Simple Style—Here Are 7 Easy Summer Outfits I Swear By

Summer definitely feels like the most opportune season to explore fun new trends and wear more colorful pieces than usual, but sometimes, I just feel like being me. Who am I exactly? Someone who likes to dress (and invest) in classic looks comprised of no-fuss, simple essentials. Sure, I love a statement item every now and then, and I'm always willing to bend for a truly amazing trend or piece. But for the most part, I like to keep it "chill," and that's where the looks below come in.

Today, I'm sharing seven easy and simple summer outfits that will always look polished and never disappoint. From a dress moment to a denim look to the skirt styles I'm loving, these 'fits are likely already hanging in your closet, so all you have to do is put them on. Of course, if you're looking to do a little wardrobe enhancing while you're at it, I've shopped each one out for you, as always. To get started, simply keep scrolling.

1. Jeans + Tank + Oversize Shirt

Come summer, I add a button-down to every look because you never know what the day will bring.

2. Linen Shirt + Shorts

The beauty of linen is that the pieces don't have to be an exact match to pair well together.

3. Minimalist Midi Dress

This season, I'm all about the Y2K-inspired strapless dress.

4. Basic Top + Flowy Pants

I love the juxtaposition of the tight white top with the loose printed pants here.

5. Tank + Slip Skirt

As you can see, this nod to the '90s works every time.

6. Matching Set

I especially love how a set like this can be dressed up or down based on your shoe and bag choice.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
