9 Easy & Stylish Looks for Summer

With Summer on the horizon, it’s time to upgrade your wardrobe and get ready for warm days and long nights. Simple tees, and flowy dresses, all styled up with one of Natori’s luxury caftans, is the name of the game. 

If you aren’t sure what to get or don’t know what the latest trends are, here are the items and outfits you need for a super chic and stylish Summer wardrobe. 

T-Shirt & Denim Shorts 

To start off, something simple. A white t-shirt and denim shorts have been a staple for years for a reason. They are easy to wear, can be worn to work, at the beach, or out for lunch, and can be styled up with accessories or a fun pair of shoes or sandals. 

If you swap out the t-shirt for a long sleeve top or something big and flowy, and you have a stylish date night or dinner look. 

Checkered Top & Mini Skirt

Inspired by the 70s, knitted garments are making a comeback in a big way. While we will talk about knitted dresses for a night look next, a knitted top is a comfortable and breathable option that isn’t as warm as you think. 

Combine it with a mini skirt, and it’s a great look for a day of relaxation. Transform it into a night look with a longer top or dress and a pair of heels. 

Knitted Dress & Heels 

If a knitted top is for the day, a knitted dress is for the night. Coming in many styles and every color under the sun, a knitted dress is slim-fitting but loose enough to stay comfortable and cool once the weather gets hot. 

Matched with a pair of heels and you have a look that will look right at home at a black-tie event, a premiere, or on a date. 

Little White Dress

We have all heard about the LBD, or the little black dress, a simple piece made famous by Coco Chanel. Nowadays, the LWD, or little white dress, is taking over the runways and clothing lines worldwide. 

The simple and clean lines, flattering shape and length, and incredible versatility make the LWD the ultimate Summer item. 

Knitted Top & Printed Pants 

If it gets a bit cooler, pairing a knitted top with some colorful and extravagant printed pants is a 70s look modernized in the best possible way. If you want to turn up the 70s, a big jacket is an out-of-the-box way to fight off a cold chill and create a modern 90s look. 

When it comes to pants, a flared leg pr bell-bottoms have come back in style over the past few seasons, and if you haven’t picked up a pair, there is no better time. 

Summer Dress and Flats

Whether it be short or long, strappy, off-the-shoulder, neutral or colorful, or anything in between, a Summer dress is perfect for when the weather heats up. Much like the LWD, a Summer dress is perfect for almost any occasion and can be dressed up or dressed down just by adding accessories or changing your shoes.  

A Summer dress can be one of the most flattering items in your wardrobe as well. They are great for anybody's shape and size as they aren’t skin-tight, they fit loosely but keep their profile, and the range of different cuts means you can find a shape that suits you best. 

Skater Chic

Hopefully, when you hear “skater chic,” you aren’t thinking about designer cargo shorts and a snapback. Skater chic takes inspiration from streetwear, whether it be t-shirts, short-sleeve button-up shirts, cropped hoodies, and combines them with sporty shorts or a mini skirt. 

The finishing touch is slipping on a pair of Chuck Taylor’s or some Nike SBs. While the look won’t work at a formal event, the toyboy style is unique yet still comfortable and straightforward. 

Boho 

The Boho look has been around for years for a reason. Big, oversized airy tops, simple shorts or skirts, and sandals are staples in any closet and, when combined, form a Mediterranean-inspired look. 

Boho is also all about mixing and matching patterns and colors. As long as you are staying within the same palette, you will almost always find something that matches. If you want to go a bit crazier, mix colors that are on opposite sides of the color-wheel; you can’t go wrong. 

Button-Down & Shorts

Button-downs have been part of women’s fashion for a few decades and have been used to relax in, as part of a pantsuit or just as something different besides a t-shirt or top. At this point, if you don’t have a few in your closet, that needs to change. 

For Summer, shades of light blue, green, and white are versatile and can go with anything, and once again, instead of overdressing, using accessories to spice your outfit up is the way to go. 

Must-Have Accessories 

There are also a few accessories and items that you should have in your Summer wardrobe. A pair of comfortable sneakers add a streetwear flair to any outfit, and a wide-brimmed hat is ideal for the beach and afternoon’s out.  

Sunglasses are also an essential; they are famous for being able to be the go-to accessory to make a simple outfit look incredibly chic and stylish instantly.
