Bralette + Cardigan + Trousers

Whether it's a bralette or a tank top, the silhouette will feel fresh with a pair of classic trousers and a cardigan.

Blazer + White Tee + Cutoffs + Slides

Love the denim-cutoffs–and-tee look? Why not toss on a blazer (if it's not too hot) and slip into chic slides too?

Tank + White Shirt + Trousers + Flip-Flops

Team a tank with an open button-down shirt and tuck into trousers. A pair of trendy flip-flops feel quite fresh for the season.

T-Shirt + High-Waisted Jeans + Sandals

Jeans and a tee is as classic as it gets. The trick here is tucking in the tee for a streamlined look.

Tee + Skirt + Tube Socks + Sneakers

Pair a printed T-shirt with a black skirt and amp up the cool factor even more with tube socks and retro sneakers.

Tank Dress + Mules

A tank dress on its own is inherently chic—especially with a colorful pair of sandals.

Crop Top + Slouchy Blazer + Trousers

You can't beat a crop-top–and-shorts or pants pairing. Adding a slouchy blazer is a nice finishing touch.
