I like to keep my summer outfits simple—something I don’t have to put too much thought into wearing. I like to soak up as much of this season as can, so I’ve made prepping my outfits each morning much easier by breaking it down into a few go-to outfit formulas. If you’re a little stuck on how to pull together cute and effortless outfits this season, well, this post is for you because I’m sharing my top three no-fail summer outfit formulas. These outfit tips take the hassle out of figuring out what to wear by breaking up your outfits into three main categories: sundresses, matching sets, and denim. Using this process makes throwing an outfit together that much easier, especially if you have a busy morning. For my top three outfit formulas, keep reading…

1. Sundress & Sandals

This seems like a no-brainer, but I love wearing dresses because I only have one article of clothing to pick out instead of two. {Lazy or efficient? You decide.} I always go for sandals with a sundress, and if I’m not wearing flats, I’ll choose an espadrille or a block heel. Simple, easy, and guaranteed to look cute and put together.

2. Matching Sets

3. Your Favorite Denim & A Tee

You can never go wrong with denim, and whether it’s your favorite pair of jeans or shorts, pair it with a simpler top for a no-fuss, casual outfit. This type of outfit is what I wear on most days, because it’s so easy. I barely have to think about it.
