12 Summer Outfits You Already Own

No matter how much I shop—and trust me when I say that I shop a lot—it seems like more often than not, I still find myself feeling like I have nothing to wear. And while I’ve yet to find a cure-all remedy for this, what I have figured out is that it’s definitely not from a lack of items. I know this, in part, because whether I’m walking down the street, attending an event, or admiring my co-worker’s outfits at the office, some of my favorite ensembles are often made up of pieces not just I, but most people, already have. From an easy dress and sandals to a cool shorts-and-tee outfit, I guess it just takes a reminder to realize how many great outfits are already hiding in your closet.

On that note, with the hopes of helping us all, today I’ve rounded up 12 cute, cool, and (most importantly) easy summer outfits that are made up of items we all already own. Simply continue on to see them and do a little bit of likely unnecessary shopping along the way.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
