1. slip dress + linen blazer + straw hat + slides + straw bag

3. black bodysuit + khaki shorts + gold accessories
If showing skin isn’t your thing, sub out the one-shoulder top for a tank top or whatever it is if you feel comfortable in! The classic elements of this outfit are neutrals and the touch of class gold adds, so just make sure you get those!

4. striped blazer + basic tee + denim shorts
Spring, summer, fall, or winter- you can never go wrong with a basic tee + blazer combo. Make it summer appropriate by pairing it with denim shorts and look for blazers in summer patterns and colors, instead of the heavy black.
