When it comes to summer dressing, it's not always the easiest due to the hot weather. Easy, effortless outfits are key in planning what to wear for the season. Once the weather changes, it always leaves me questioning what in my closet needs updating and what trends are worth mixing into my current rotation. When in need of fresh style inspiration, I head straight to Instagram for a dose of stylish outfit ideas. My go-to fashion influencers always serve up inspiring looks that get me excited and laser-focused on what to get when I shop next.
I rounded up some standout ensembles that are spot-on for the summer months. This includes everything from everyday looks with elevated basics like tank tops and jeans to more formal moments with stunning dresses. I also made sure to include of-the-moment pieces like jelly flats, butter-yellow finds, and Bermuda shorts.
