Simplicity is my middle name when it comes to summer dressing. Once the temps hit over 75°F, I'm all about leaning into clean and elevated outfits that are easy to assemble yet still look polished and put-together. This is not always an easy feat in sweltering temps. To get inspired, I've been scouring Instagram for a whole host of summer outfit ideas that are easy, elevated, and anything but boring. Below, I'm sharing some of my favorite looks of summer so far. From slip-skirt outfits to sleek linen dresses, these ensembles ooze a relaxed and easy refinement that I can't wait to re-create myself this sunny season.
