6 Low-Key Summer Outfits That I Bet Will Earn You Compliments
Statement-making looks composed of vibrant pieces are undoubtedly chic. That said, low-key ensembles on the other end of the spectrum can actually be just as stylish. And that’s what I wanted to focus on here today. I took a gander through the feeds of some of my favorite fashion people to uncover a range of casual ensembles that I think will catch your attention.
The outfits in question are all easy and simple but still have an elevated feel to them. In fact, I’d even say that testing out one or a few of the looks below could earn you some compliments this season thanks to their fashion-forward qualities—for example, a denim ensemble featuring of-the-moment pieces like a relaxed button-down shirt. Keep scrolling to see the outfits I found plus shopping inspiration as well. Hey, you just might find one of your new go-to outfit formulas in the mix.
This monochromatic ensemble is incredibly effortless and chic with the loose blouse tucked into stylish white shorts.
You just can't go wrong with a tank or bodysuit teamed with wide-leg jeans. Simple and stylish.
A flowy white dress is a no-brainer with your favorite accessories. While you could go bold with the accessories, simple options work as well.
Into skirts? Pair your go-to pick with an oversize sweatshirt or tee for a casual vibe. This is one look your friends just might want to copy.
A relaxed shirt is an of-the-moment basic that works flawlessly with jeans or shorts. It's an A+ look.
Tuck a shoulder-pad tee into high-waisted trousers for a more polished yet easy silhouette.
