Simplicity is my middle name when it comes to summer dressing. Once the temps hit over 75°F, I'm all about leaning into clean and elevated outfits that are easy to assemble yet still look polished and put-together. This is not always an easy feat in sweltering temps. To get inspired, I've been scouring Instagram for a whole host of summer outfit ideas that are easy, elevated, and anything but boring. Below, I'm sharing some of my favorite looks of summer so far. From slip-skirt outfits to sleek linen dresses, these ensembles ooze a relaxed and easy refinement that I can't wait to re-create myself this sunny season.

A white tee and white linen pants are summer staples I can't live without. Give the duo a fashion-forward touch and style them with buttery beige accessories—a pair of chic flats, a satin scarf worn as a belt, and a raffia bag to finish the look. So chic.

An ivory satin skirt always looks so elegant. Give it a casual spin with a linen-knit tank top and a trend-forward long pendant necklace. Clear jelly flip-flops will add the coolest finishing touch.
