Give a simple neutral co-ord a try, because matching your top to your bottoms is always an easy outfit combo.
A sheer blouse for a night out, or a head-turning day look, ensures you'll look on trend, and stay breezy.
An elevated romper will become one of your summer staples after you try it with a pair of comfortable white sneakers.
Slip dresses will always be in style. Take a bold, colourful piece out for a spin today and pair it with some strappy flat sandals.
A ribbed tank adds an extra element of interest to a simple outfit.
It should come as no shock that neon is trending, but if the bold trend seems trick to pull off, try it with a pair of shoes.
Make like Carissa Walford and try a puff-sleeved maxi dress. It works whether you're going to a midday cocktail party or evening drinks.
Reach for double denim when you're feeling uninspired. Accessories will add personality to the look.
A structured floral dress can work for any occasion, with the right accessories.
Let's keep things simple with a white mini tea dress, neutral pumps, a pendant necklace and mini sunglasses.
The 'going out top' has seen an epic revival this year. Pair a silky wrap top with jeans, denim shorts, or a denim skirt.
Prairie dresses were huge during the European summer. If it feels too feminine for you, try it with a pair of chunky boots.
If you own a rendition of Instagram's most famous skirt, try it with a button-down singlet.
When you're fresh out of outfit ideas, pick a colour and wear it head-to-toe.
The chunky sneaker trend doesn't seem to be wavering just yet, so we're challenging you to pair it with a printed skirt and a basic tee to give the shoes a more elevated look.
Remember the old rule that your bag and shoes had to match? We're so glad that's well and truly behind us. Mix-up an evening look with contrasting accessories.
When the weather heats up, the mini skirts come out. Instead of your go-to denim skirt, try one with a visible texture and pair it with a simple tee.
Don't underestimate the power of a good crop top. Find a length that works for you and pair it with some frayed hem jeans.
Silk is a breathable fabric that is perfect for summer. Find a coloured maxi dress to wear for the day with a pair of simple flats (or thongs, because why not?).
Choose prints of similar shades and wear them mixed-up head-to-toe.
Easily one of the most controversial (yet comfortable) pairs of shoes of the year. Wear your thongs with a dressy maxi to tone it down.
Adding kitten heels to an outfit can instantly create an elegant look for any occasion.
Go hands-free and opt for a waist-belt bag.
Take a dress you've worn a thousand times before and add a waist-belt to give it a second life.
We tracked this particular outfit from its inception, until it started to blow up. Now is the perfect time to give it a go and see why paper-bag waist pants took off.
A shirt dress is an outfit staple. Not only because it can be worn as is, but also because you can un-button it and wear it over a pair of denim shorts and a singlet.
Make your floaty beach pants work for the office with a button-down shirt and simple slides.
A bold printed shirt shouldn't be too hard to come across. Open up the wardrobe of your boyfriend, husband, brother, roommate and wear it with your favourite bottoms.
Pairing bike shorts with a short-sleeved button up and chunky sneakers is the perfect way to bring the trend out of the gym.
We're finishing the challenge with a pop of neon paired with white trousers to go out with a bang! It's bright, it's on-trend and it's the perfect outfit for summer 2019.
