8 Aesthetic Summer Outfits I'm Convinced Are Peak Fashion Girl
As we near the height of summer, it's a common experience to be running out of steam in the wardrobe department. With temperatures feeling nearly unbearable at some points, what can one wear to look chic yet stay cool at the same time?
If you're in need of some fresh inspiration, you've come to the right place. I'm very familiar with my Instagram Saved folder. I'm always stopping my scroll to make sure I will have some good outfit ideas saved at all times. I've been hitting save on every amazing outfit that I set my eyes on and I'm ready to share the best of the best with you. You won't regret shopping the eight outfits below that are sure to gain you many compliments.
The ultimate heatwave ensemble, I love how this look feels so on-trend while still baring all. A good low-rise denim skirt is a must-have in this era of Y2K revival and a puff-sleeve top pairs well.
Shop the look:
Just because it's hot out doesn't mean that you can't wear a sweater. Try an open-back style to keep your favorite knitwear alive.
Shop the look:
If you're a fan of softer color schemes, you're going to love this look. Pinks and yellows swirl together to make up a very chic outfit. As always, the story ends with baggy denim.
Shop the look:
Throw it over your favorite swimsuit, top, or just wear it by itself. The opportunities are endless.
Nothing makes the classic denim-and–T-shirt combo feel fresh like swapping out your plain white tee for a knit vest. This one looks so effortless and easy, so I think we all need to give it a try.
Shop the look:
You can never go wrong with wearing a midi slip skirt. It's so elegant while still remaining effortless. I love how this look brings together many different shades of brown.
Shop the look:
I'm loving everything about this print.
This look is the perfect example of how to expertly layer in the summertime. Adding the crochet bolero on top makes this look stand out without making you feel too hot. The green in the boots pairs well with the corset to bring the full look together.
Shop the look:
After seeing this top worn backwards in the photo above, I think that just has to be the way to go.
If you're anything like me, white cotton poplin dresses are your summer uniform. Just add the right accessories and you'll be out the door in minutes. I love everything about this look that is giving major South of France vibes.
Shop the look:
Bold and bright printed dresses are now a vacation essential. Every fashion girl is buying into these fun styles of the moment and I suggest you do the same.
Shop the look:
The perfect travel bag is always a crossbody.

Shortly thereafter, she interned at Elle magazine and instantly knew that editorial was for her. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, she worked for ShopBazaar, contributing regularly to Bazaar.com, and finally made her way to Who What Wear, where she is an associate editor. When she’s not working, you can catch her always trying to catch a flight, trying the latest fitness craze in New York City, or exploring luxury vintage boutiques.
