10 Outfits That Will Have You Ready for Summer in No Time

We’ve spent the better part of the past few months willing summer to arrive. We planned every outfit, drew inspiration from the runway and street style stars alike, and bookmarked countless warm-weather wardrobe essentials we had already begun to save our pennies for. But, when the heat wave never came, we began to wallow in our brisk wind–ready jackets, layered knitwear, and mighty band of long trousers and vintage denim. Much to our excitement, it seems as though the sun is finally here to stay, but we’re desperately in need of some brand-new outfit inspiration to get us back into the summertime mood.

A lesson in how to wear knits for summer: Opt for breezy and light silhouettes, such as a tank and midi skirt in your favorite wovens. Add a pop of color with your elegant flat mules.

Dress up a pair of denim cutoffs with a statement top. Keep it low-key at the same time by opting for a classic pair of low-top sneakers.
