I'm an Easy-Outfit Repeater—Here Are 7 Go-To Formulas That Score Highly for Summer
From linen shirts and shorts to maxi dresses and Birkenstocks, here are the seven summer outfits I think are worth copying for summer 2025.


Every summer like clockwork, my wardrobe reverts to its most pared-back version. Right now, the weather app is running through just about every season possible, but from the moment I packed away my fluffy winter coats, I've started to focus on simplifying my outfits in preparation for a heatwave. This style shift is as much out of necessity (the hot weather makes me want to wear as little clothing as possible) as it is a fashion choice, as I just love the look of clean basics. Regardless of the motivation, I keep coming back to the same easy summer outfits and shamelessly repeating them, and I have a feeling you're going to love them too.
Like any fashion editor worth their salt, I started with my own wardrobe but backed up my theory with research. Instagram confirms that these are certified winning formulas. Keep scrolling to see seven major but easy summer outfits that you're going to want to save and re-create, as approved by street style stars. Now that you've got the inspo, we've just got to wait for the sunshine.
Easy Summer Outfits That Are My Go-To Formulas Every Year
1. Linen Blazer + Linen Skirt + Suede Flats
Style Notes: It just wouldn't be summer without a healthy dose of linen, and I love the way Nnenna has played with proportions by pairing a relaxed blazer and maxi poplin skirt for a breezy but polished look.

2. Tank Top + Jeans + Raffia Accessories
Style Notes: Simple but effective, this formula is the easiest way to make your denim feel summer-ready. You're about to see versatile tank tops crop up a few times in this list, but I particularly love that Diane Kari's back-to-basics approach uses pieces you'll already have in your wardrobe.

3. Bandeau Dress + Demi Heels
Style Notes: The natural evolution of the bandeau-top trend is, of course, the bandeau dress, and when paired with a full A-line skirt, this romantic silhouette is impossibly charming with low heels. If round-toe shoes aren't your thing, simply swap for a pair of pointed slingbacks and wait for the compliments to roll in.
Shop the Look
4. Shirt-and-Shorts Co-Ord
Style Notes: If you ask any fashion insider what's in their holiday wardrobe, I can bet there's a shirt-and-shorts co-ord in the mix. Linen or cotton, stripes or simple, no matter your preference, this easy pairing is the secret to getting ready in five minutes or less. Throw on comfy mules and you've got unmatched comfort that look as good as it feels.
Shop the Look
5. Simple Maxi Dress + Trench Coat
Style Notes: You might not have been expecting to see a coat on the list, but when British summers don't guarantee consistent sunshine, it pays to be prepared for anything. Trenches are light enough for warm but breezy days, and when paired with an equally fluid long dress, the final result is an effortlessly chic and sophisticated look that you can dress up with heels or keep casual with strappy flats.
Shop the Look
6. Satin Top + Linen Trousers + Loafers
Style Notes: On the days when you don't know what to wear, the simple solution is to dress for practicality. As soon as the temperatures rise, pull your linen trousers out of the wardrobe and add a satin top to dress them up. You can also opt for tailored linen bottoms like Dina has to keep the outfit looking polished.
Shop the Look
7. White Blouse + Shorts + Ankle-Tie Sandals
Style Notes: Chloé's brand of luxury bohemia is back and already influencing our summer wardrobes. If floaty chiffon and floral prints aren't your thing, the minimalist way to reference retro styling is to try a detailed blouse instead of a straight-laced Oxford shirt with a pair of linen shorts and, of course, ankle-tie sandals.
