How To Dress Summer Chic

Comfortable and casual yet chic and classy.

How To Dress Summer Chic
Rachel Brown

Summer is officially here, meaning it is time to revamp your closet with long flowy blouses, denim shorts, and tank tops. To get summer chic all you have to do is pair classy with casual. Stripes are in, always as a summer must. Bright colors and ruffles are quintessential needs for summer and you can't forget the classic white T. It's a lot easier to get summer chic than you think! You can combine clothes that you wear year around with your more summer attire.

My go-to casual summer chic outfit is jeans paired with a blouse. These jeans you can wear year around. They are high-waisted so they hug your hips thus flattering your figure. The dark musty purple shirt is a great summer blouse that you can dress up or dress down. It's flowy and has an elegant neckline.

You can purchase a similar pair of jeans and top on Amazon.

To give this summer chic outfit a pop I'm wearing my white Adidas shoes. White, in my preference, is the best color to wear during summer. You feel free and fresh, and it always looks great when you're sporting your new tan! When I wake up in the late morning and feel like spending the day at the coffee shop this is the attire I wear, comfortable and casual yet chic and classy.

Buy a pair of Adidas for yourself on Amazon.

Like I said earlier, stripes are an always summer must. Stripes, no matter how you wear it, on a shirt, skirt, or pants, they give you a European flare which makes you feel foreign and well-traveled. This thin blue striped off the shoulder blouse has billowing ruffled sleeves that creates the perfect romantic shirt that looks good practically with anything. I paired it with a denim skirt that gives the outfit a true chicness.

Buy a shirt like this one on Amazon.

This top hugging dress with a free-flowing zebra striped skirt looks flattering on any body shape. Paired with sandals you're set for the classy casual atmosphere of Greece or the food market in town.

You can find a dress just like it on Amazon.

These are a few of my favorite summer shirts and dresses.

Rompers are very in and are classically chic. Not only are they versatile but are easy when it comes to packing. This beautiful white floral romper looks great on your darker sun-kissed skin and showcases your figure.

Try this similar look on Amazon.

You can't get any chicer with a white off the shoulder French fringed shirt. You can easily add a choker to give your outfit more of an edge or a silk-chiffon scarf to bring out the Parisian within you.

Buy it here.

Crop tops are a summer essential. I've lately been obsessed with this off the shoulder crop top. It has a beautiful, intricate design which adds more style to your attire. It has sheer sleeves that drape down from your shoulders and frame your neckline. It's perfect for summer photoshoots and easy to stuff into your suitcase.

Try this similar look.

I love this outfit because of the white low cut ruffled shirt (it looks good with anything) and the ocean blue flared pants. I'm wearing it with pink nude heels. This is as chic as you can get for summer. My hint when it comes to colors for summer, look for pastels and keep an eye open for whites, creams, and blues. They look fantastic together.

You can buy this top and similar pants on Amazon, too!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
