Here, nine of our favorites for summer.

Crop top + high-waist maxiskirt + heels: Offset the volume of a maxiskirt with a slim-fit crop top. Add heels to the two-piece outfit and you’re ready for that summer wedding.

Pinafore dress + T-shirt + peep-toe booties: If you love the look of overalls but find them a bit juvenile, go with a pinafore dress. A T-shirt and peep-toe booties lend an edge to the girly piece.

A structured top + high-waist jeans + sneakers: Take the schlub-factor out of a pair of mom jeans with a structured top. Canvas sneakers match the laid-back nature of the jeans, but take note that high heels would look just as a great.

Midi skirt + oversize button-down shirt+ slip-on flats: A casual night out with the gals calls for an easygoing below-the-knee skirt and blousy shirt. Take advantage of the no-heels, no-problem vibe of the evening by choosing flat mules over pumps.

Matching top and bottom + sneakers: Get dressed in 5 minutes flat with this no-brainer of an outfit. Sneakers work if you’re bopping around the park with pals.
Short-sleeve blouse + culottes + belted gilet: A sleeveless vest is a superstar layering piece no matter the weather. This summer, layer yours over a short-sleeve shirt, belt the waist, and team with culottes to create a fail-safe work outfit. See this look here.
