6. A crew neck sweater and tennis skirt
We’re loving the addition of a feminine skirt to an otherwise athleisure-type outfit. A tennis skirt and crewneck will give you the preppy look you didn’t know your outfit rotation was missing. Is she on her way to class? To the tennis courts? To have day drinks with her besties? They’ll never know.
7. A high-neck tank with a satin midi skirt
Elevate your average tank-top-and-jeans fit by swapping in a satin skirt that’ll give your legs some room to breathe and bring your outfit game to the next level. Just add a pair of white sneakers and your chicest sunnies, and you’re good to go.
8. A floral dress and leather jacket
Pairing a leather jacket with a flowy, floral dress is the perfect way to bring edge to an otherwise feminine look and is great for transitioning a look from day to night. This opposites-attract duo is truly a match made in heaven.
9. Overalls and a crop tee
Grab those 2016 (or 1994) overalls from the back of your closets because this outfit, overalls and a crop tee, is easy yet put together. It plays well with just about any casual occasion.
10. A delicate dress and structured blazer
Pairing a delicate dress with a structured blazer is such a power move, and it’s a great way to bring some shape to your most whimsical midi or maxi dress. Couple this with your favorite shoulder bag and a pair of peep-toe heels, and you’ve got yourself a foolproof summer look.
