7 Fresh Outfit Ideas That Will Kick You Out of Your Summer Rut

It can be easy to find yourself in a style rut during the summer. You know, when you end up just wearing the same outfit combination (i.e. shorts and a tee) day after day out of convenience. While there's nothing wrong with that, there's really no need to revert to the same old, same old with the slew of street style inspiration out there. Below, we rounded up seven easy looks to test out this summer—and shopped each ensemble for you too.
Go on to find your new go-to look.
This may be the simplest oufit ever—toss on a vibrant dress, add a pair of booties, and you're done.
We love this type of outfit as an alternative to your standard dress-and-heels ensemble for a night out—go for culottes, a graphic tee, a denim jacket, and fun heels.
If you're on the hunt for a simple yet forward casual Friday ensemble, go for a patterned blouse, wide-leg jeans, and stilettos.
Like the first outfit, this type of look is just as easy to replicate for a casual dinner this summer—simply go for a printed long dress (if you choose a statement print, you don't really need a ton of accessories) and trainers.
This is the ideal ensemble for drinks post-work. Slip into a silk tank, a printed skirt, and heels—that's it!
Heading to an outside soiree? Try an off-the-shoulder top, skirt, and flats (heels never work in the grass anyway!)
We're so into the idea of going for a not-so-average white blouse, coloured trousers, and slip-ons as an alternative to your go-to trousers-and-blouse ensemble for the office.
