Effortless Style: Summer Outfit Inspiration
As a personal stylist, my mission is to help my clients embrace their unique style and feel confident in every outfit they wear. I love discovering new brands, updating classic looks, and adding accessories to finish off an outfit. My inspiration comes from everywhere: street style, designers, runway looks, and even my own closet. Fashion is a continuous journey of exploration and expression, and I'm here to guide you through it.
Today I'm excited to share a few outfit ideas that I hope will inspire you to try different looks and discover styles that resonate with you. Here are six routfits I love, each designed to highlight different aspects of personal style.
This Ulla Johnson two-piece set in white with navy trim is an absolute showstopper. Perfect for a European vacation or a summer soirée, this outfit exudes effortless elegance. The intricate details and the skirt's comfortable fit make it a standout choice. I've paired it with nude sandals to keep the focus on the outfit and added a chic, feminine bag. Another reason I adore this set is its versatility—you can wear the pieces separately to create even more fabulous looks.
Stripes are a summer staple and act as a versatile neutral. This outfit epitomizes effortless summer style. The striped top adds a nautical touch, while the lightweight pants are perfect for staying cool in the summer heat. Since I prefer not to wear shorts or short skirts, these white linen pants become my go-to piece all season long. They work beautifully as a cover-up or for a casual lunch outing, making them an absolute summer essential. The top is from Nili Lotan and the pants are from Luna Luz, both available at Great Stuff.
A great linen top is a must-have in my summer wardrobe. It's perfect for lunch dates, running errands, and even traveling. Its versatility and comfort make it an essential piece for the season. This one is from American Colors available to purchase at Great Stuff (call for info).
Nothing beats the effortless elegance of a black dress, and this one from Xirena is the ideal summer staple. Lightweight with a flattering A-line silhouette, it's perfect for any occasion—and it even has pockets!
For a polished and professional summer look, white trousers are an excellent choice. Pair them with a lightweight blazer like this one from Hope For Flowers for an effortlessly chic outfit. Made from translucent Tencel, the blazer is perfectly sheer for hot days yet maintains a professional appearance suitable for the office. This blazer is available at Great Stuff (call for details).
SHORTS! Recently, I was searching my closet for a pair of shorts that fit well, weren’t too short, and had no fraying. I came up empty-handed. That’s why, when I found these Re/Done shorts at Jenni Kayne, I knew I had to have them. They’re incredibly comfortable and stylish, offering just the right upgrade to keep them cool. Plus, their longer length makes this over-50 mom feel confident wearing denim shorts. I paired them with Jenni Kayne's best-selling lightweight cotton gauze top and added their new navy striped cotton sweater over my shoulders. The look was perfectly finished with tan sandals also from Jenni Kayne.
Embracing your personal style is all about finding outfits that make you feel confident, comfortable, and uniquely you. From chic and effortless to bold and beautiful, these six outfits showcase the versatility and elegance that every woman over 30 can achieve. Whether it's a vibrant midi dress, a sophisticated monochromatic look, or a pair of stylish shorts for summer, each piece offers a way to express your individuality.
Remember, fashion is more than just clothing; it's a form of self-expression. By discovering new brands, updating classic looks, and adding thoughtful accessories, you can create a wardrobe that truly reflects your personality. Let these outfits inspire you to explore different styles and step out with confidence, no matter the occasion.
Stay fabulous!
