My technical job is fashion editor (specifically, the shopping director here at Who What Wear), but to my friends, I'm their personal stylist. And yes, I love it. Even when I'm "off the clock," fashion and shopping are still top of mind for me, so providing style tips for those in my inner circle brings me pure joy. On that note, I thought it could be fun to create a few outfit ideas for my friends and you, dear readers, for any summer fashion inspiration you may need this season.
I created outfits using stylish items from Nordstrom given that Nordy is a go-to store for all of us. Below, you'll find six chic looks that could work for different occasions, whether you're looking for a cool, casual ensemble or something a bit dressier. Keep scrolling for outfit inspiration and to shop each piece.
A pair of linen-blend shorts is essential to keep comfy and cool this summer. A black button-down shirt creates a nice contrast to the white shorts, and the silver earrings bring that modern feel with the heeled flip-flops.
A black sundress is a no-fail piece—the perfect throw-on-and-go dress. A lightweight cardigan looks quite chic draped over your shoulders and is practical if it gets chilly. The summer accessories tie this outfit all together.
A chic alternative to the original pick.
Looking for a sleek ensemble to carry you through the season? This linen-blend suit teamed with a ribbed tank is perfect. Modern slingbacks and a black belt are elegant finishing touches.
You just might want to live in this ensemble with the relaxed jeans and the white shirt opened up over the soft white tee. A forward bowling bag and the sweet red flats bring that pop of color.
The original version sold out but these are pretty spot-on.
This outfit could be ideal for any summer party and features a cinched-waist midi dress, fun flat Mary Janes, and a cool cuff and bag.
While jeans or trousers could also work with this outfit, the maxi skirt is fresh with the tried-and-true Birkenstocks.
Equally stylish as the original.
