From Paris to Los Angeles: These Are the Outfit Formulas Fashion People Are Wearing This Summer
Shop the looks from brands like With Jéan, Dôen, J.Crew, and Gap.

Our editors love an outfit reference photo as a source of inspiration for how to style items, and having go-to blueprints makes getting dressed easier. With summer coming to a close soon, I'm looking back at some of the combinations influencers have been wearing lately, especially looks that can transition into early fall.
Camille Charrière wore a knee-length polka-dot halter dress and Chanel ballet flats; Anne-Laure Mais posted in a Dôen baby-doll dress with a straw bag; and Sylvie Mus was in a black slip dress with kitten-heel sandals. Over in Los Angeles, Christie Tyler was in the perfect transitional outfit for fall: a V-neck sweater with poplin pants. Jordan Risa went for a white T-shirt with a black sheer shirt and animal-print ballet flats.
Below, I've put together five outfits inspired by these looks, including brands such as With Jéan, Dôen, J.Crew, and Gap.
Knee-Length Halter Dress + Ballet Flats
Charrière paired a white polka-dot halter dress with Chanel ballet flats similar to With Jéan's Maude Dress and Sam Edelman's viral Alie Ballet Flats.

If you're looking for a simple work-from-home outfit, pair a V-neck sweater with poplin pants.

Sheer pieces have been popular in 2026, even since the wintertime. For summer, Risa paired a sheer black shirt with a white T-shirt and Chanel Leopard Print Calf Hair Ballerina Flats.
