I'm a Self-Proclaimed Outfit Repeater—14 Go-To Formulas I'm Loving Now

Every summer like clockwork my wardrobe reverts to its most pared-back iteration. In fact, I know warmer weather is here to stay not when my weather app tells me so but when I start to notice my outfits become simpler and simpler. I think this style shift is as much out of necessity (the hot weather makes me want to wear as little clothing as possible) as it is a sartorial choice (I just love the look of clean basics). Regardless of the motivation, I've been rotating through a series of easy summer outfits—and shamelessly repeating them—that I think you'll be fond of, too.

Like any good fashion person, I took to Instagram to inform many of these winning formulas. The 14 style stars ahead have served up some major (but easy) summer outfits that, yes, I immediately saved and, yes, have been busy re-creating. If you are in need of some inspiration, I suggest you take a scroll and do the same.

Airy Dress + Cowboy Boots

The most summery of summer dresses that can't be ignored, especially when paired with cool cowboy boots.

Ribbed Tank + Relaxed Trousers

My low-effort summer uniform? You're looking at it.

Matching Shorts + Overshirt + White Crop Top

This ultra-cool styling is destined for chilling at home and stepping out on the weekends, and I think it's perfect.

Midi Dress + Mules

A simple midi dress in a comfy ribbed knit material is basically just fancy loungewear. You know, for when you want to actually wear something other than PJs.

Blazer + Crop Top + Bermuda Shorts

Pictures like this make me want to buy all the denim Bermuda shorts in the world. Have they ever looked so chic? Nope, they haven't.

Bright Miniskirt + Button-Down Shirt + Classic Heels

Now that we're finally doing going-out looks again, I'll be keeping this cool-girl combination on repeat.

High-Waisted Jeans + Bra Top + Blazer

Match made in heaven: high-waisted jeans with a bra top. The blazer is optional, but I think it adds an interesting contrast.

Puff-Sleeve Dress + Woven Bag + Simple Gold Jewelry

There's nothing easier than throwing on a lightweight dress and calling it a day. Simple jewelry and a woven bag are the perfect (and effortless) additions.

Cropped Tank + Sweat Shorts + Bucket Hat

There's something about summer loungewear that just hits different. My go-to relaxed look these days is the combination of sweat shorts with a cropped tank and a fun bucket hat.

Oversize T-Shirt + Biker Shorts + Classic Jewelry

What can I say? I love a weekend-errands look, even when I have very few errands to do at the moment.

Matching Workout Set + Crew Socks + White Sneakers

It really doesn't get any cooler (or more comfortable) than a coordinated workout set, especially one in a bright hue like this cobalt blue. Pair it with sneakers and crew socks for a sporty vibe (sweating optional).

Maxi Dress + Flatform Sandals + Basket Bag

Cue the perfect vacation outfit that requires zero traveling.

Tailored Trousers + Matching Blazer + Graphic Tee

I'm a sucker for a good tailored look. Sue me.
