Simple Summer Style

July 17, 2023 By sara-elizabeth Leave a Comment

One of the things we get a lot of positive feedback on is when we share our looks of the day.  You guys love to see what we are wearing!  So we put together a quick little blog showcasing lots of simple summer style inspiration utilizing pieces out of our very own closets.  These are pieces we are wearing this summer.  Remember that you don’t have to overthink things to look stylish and put together.  Sometimes, a simple look is the most effective.  We hope you guys enjoy this collection of looks!

 

Simple Summer Style With Jean Shorts

You certainly cannot go wrong with a little bit of classic and a little bit of edgy.  Katie loves to wear a button-up shirt paired with denim on the bottom…  And distressed jean shorts paired against the button-up shirt and classic white sneakers give this look a little extra special vibe, don’t they?  In fact, this button-up shirt is a team favorite…  It is a relaxed fit and is slightly cropped, so it’s perfect for all of your high rise bottoms.  And Katie recently discovered this very affordable line of denim shorts that a few us now have on regular rotation!

A simple white button-up shirt is also perfection for summer.  Throw it on with your favorite jean shorts, some fun sneakers, and you are ready to roll!

A slightly dressier take on the button-up shirt and jean shorts concept here…  Love the more traditional vibe of these jean shorts for those that want a little more length and no distressing.

A Few More Casual Looks For The Season

Of course, there are shorts other than jean shorts HAH!  SEB has been enjoying her utility shorts lots this summer.  Here she has paired them with a simple striped tank and slide sandals for a put together casual look.

Even though we are talking about summer style…  Jeans are still allowed!  We love how Katie paired a light and breezy linen long sleeve button-up shirt with her favorite light wash distressed jeans….  She found this blouse on Zara recently and has been wearing it on repeat.  The button detailing on the back is absolutely adorable!  Add some metallic sandals, and you are put together for your day.

Simple Elevated Looks For Summer

Let’s take a look at a few elevated simple looks for summer, shall we?  First, our most casual of the elevated looks.  SEB took her utility shorts from up above and changed her top and shoes to create a slightly more dressy look.  This shimmer tank from Anthropologie is one of her favorite pieces this summer.  In fact, she took this champagne colorway with her to Italy and loved it so much that she bought it in black and pink too!  A super versatile piece to have in your closet to elevate your shorts, jeans, skirts, or flowy pants a bit!

This dress we sourced in the Anthro sale last week ended up being a rather unexpected favorite of Katie’s!  Sidenote – it should be, as she looks fabulous in it, doesn’t she?  The beauty of a dress like this is that it is a throw on – add a few accessories – and go situation.  LOVE!  This one comes in about a dozen colorways and prints, so be sure to check it out.

A Few More Simple Elevated Looks With Pants

Summer isn’t just about shorts and sundresses!  We do still wear long sleeves, pants, and/or jeans from time to time.  These cropped wide leg pants are a go-to for us when shopping for clients.  They are a lightweight cotton with a bit of stretch, which makes them comfy even in the summer.  And of course, a relaxed fit button-up shirt is always a good option for an elevated look this time of year.

An Effortless Style blog post on simple summer style would not be complete without a couple of blazer and jeans looks, right?!  Katie snapped both of these blazers recently up at Zara and has been loving them.  And with their amazing prices, you can stand to have both!
