The Sun's Out, and so Are the Girls—5 Weekend Outfits They're All Wearing
Summer weekends are truly unmatched. After a long work week, it's hard to stay indoors when the weather is just too good. Dressing for the warm weather is especially fun for the ladies because we get to shed a few layers, show a little skin, and play with cute outfit combinations that won't be hidden by an overcoat or hoodie.
I took to Instagram to scout what the girls have been wearing to all their summer rendezvous thus far. And needless to say, style and creativity are at an all-time high. Keep scrolling to shop my five favorite weekend looks from chic swimwear ensembles by the pool to colorful, breezy dresses made for outdoor festivities.
Coffee Date
This low-key ensemble caught my eye with its vintage flair and floral motifs. Not to mention, the ballet flats and woven tote are totally on-trend this summer. This makes the perfect casual outfit for a coffee date or a meet-up at your neighborhood café.
Shop the look:
This floral-print bomber makes the perfect daytime jacket. I love that it's super lightweight and has a cool vintage feel.
Comfortability is the name of the game when it comes to buying jeans, and this stylish, relaxed-fit pair is just that.
Half-moon woven totes are so chic and complete any warm-weather look. This one by Express is super durable and fits literally everything.
Poolside Lounging
This chic, all-black swimwear look is so cohesive and elegant. The pearl necklace adds a touch of sophistication, subtly elevating the entire outfit.
Shop the look:
This cute push-up bikini top is a poolside essential. The straps are adjustable so you can find the right fit, too.
Sheer items are so on-trend and add depth when styled with swimwear. This wrap maxi skirt is definitely a showstopper.
A chic sandal to complete the all-black ensemble. The square toe and block heel add extra support, too.
Outdoor Concert
Outdoor concerts and music festivals are always fun to dress up for, and you can really allow yourself to get creative with your style. Breezy maxi dresses are easy to throw on for an effortless look. Accessorizing with cute bucket hats and sequin handbags adds a little personality.
Shop the look:
I'd recommend pairing the colorful maxi dress with these cute sandals to complete the look.
This woven bucket hat is a practical and chic solution to sun exposure.
Family Brunch
This polished outfit is giving city-girl summer, and I'd wear it for weekend brunch with family and friends. A cotton button-down with white jeans and loafers is a tried-and-true style recipe. And the sleek, black sunglasses tie the outfit together.
Shop the look:
Nili Lotan has become my go-to for classic poplin button-down shirts. I'd recommend wearing this one with your favorite trousers, denim, or khaki shorts.
The secret to elevating any outfit lies in the shoes. These loafers come in a cool-green colorway, and they're on-sale. Need I say more?
The rose-gold detailing is so luxe. This sleek watch is a forever timepiece.
Evening Cocktails
Grabbing a refreshing cocktail on a summer evening requires a flirty outfit to match the vibe. A pretty linen dress with gold jewelry and a woven handbag looks so classic and put-together.
Shop the look:
What's summer without linen? This chic dress is a must for warm evenings out on the town.
I'm all about sustainable footwear brands like Amanu. The gold hardware on this sandal is so elegant you could wear it during the day or night.
I have the biggest obsession with gold hoops. The pearl detailing on this pair is so unique—I'm for sure adding them to my collection.
Asymmetric silhouettes and woven handbags are very popular this summer. This beautiful creation by Staud combines both trends.
Anklets are the one accessory that magically reappears once the sun is out. And I couldn't be happier about it.
