Nothing beats a long flowy dress, especially when it’s scorching hot outside. This outfit is simple and can be elevated by adding a few choice accessories. For example, if you’re going for a bohemian vibe, add some strappy sandals, gold or silver rings, and some bangles. Finally, add a crossbody bag, preferably made from faux leather.
#2. Sweater Vest and Mini Skirt

If you’re looking for an academia-inspired look, you’ll love this. All you need is a sweater vest, a short-sleeved blouse, a mini skirt, and loafers. It will basically look as if you’re wearing a (cool) school uniform!
You can also add some cute white socks that peek out from your loafers to make the outfit look even better.
#3. White Pleated Bust Smock Dress

This is another idea for girls that like white dresses, but are going for a different style than the previous one. A white pleated bust smock dress is great for both a night out and strolls around the block. Add some hoop earrings, and a bold ring to complete the look.
#4. Chunky Sneakers and Skirt

Although skater shoes have been out of style for quite some time now, chunky sneakers are still incredibly popular. If you like wearing them, but you’d like to style them with something other than sweatpants and a hoodie, this look is for you.
You will need a midi skirt, a plain solid-colored top, and your chunky sneakers.
Additionally, you can layer a denim jacket on top.
If a midi skirt is not your style, you can also switch it to a mini skirt. Finally, add either a crossbody or a waist bag such as this one.
#5. Long Button-Down Floral Print Dress

It seems like floral print dresses are always in style, and for a good reason. The dress itself has plenty of color on it, so you don’t have to add too much of anything to make it look good.
A long button-down floral dress will look amazing with some Converse sneakers if you’re planning on wearing it during the day. On the other hand, for a night out, you can simply switch out the sneakers for some Dr. Martens, and you’re good to go.
#6. Wrap Skirt

A wrap skirt paired with an off-the-shoulder fitted shirt is the perfect outfit for when you want to look cute but don’t feel like dressing up. Finalize the look with some converse sneakers or sandals, and a choker.
#7. Gingham Print Mini Dress

There’s no better way to embrace the summertime vibes than with this cute gingham mini dress. Its overall simplicity is what makes the dress ideal for teenage girls, as they can add basically any type of accessories to make it fit their style. For example, some brightly-colored earrings and necklaces along with strappy sandals would make the outfit look more feminine.
On the other hand, if you’re going for an everyday look, consider wearing it without any jewelry, and with some Converse sneakers and an oversized denim jacket.
#8. Vibrant Skirt and Bodysuit

A body suit is a simple piece of clothing that you typically wear underneath your clothes. However, did you know that you can make a stunning outfit by pairing it with just one more clothing item?
All you need is a vibrant skirt to recreate this cute look. Add your favorite sneakers, and you’ll achieve the perfect combination of style and comfort. Or, if you want to zhuzh it up a bit, put on some wedge heels.
#9. White Blouse and Denim Shorts

Who says you can’t wear denim shorts with a blouse? If you have both of these items in your closet, but you’ve never considered pairing them, you don’t know what you’re missing. Combining the elegance of a blouse with the simplicity of denim shorts is pure genius, so what are you waiting for?
Also, depending on where you’re planning on wearing this outfit, you can finish off the look by putting on some ankle boots, sneakers, or sandals. Come to think of it, heels would look stunning as well!
Casual Summer Outfits
#10. Skater Skirt and Long-Sleeved Crop-Top
Image source: Pinterest
Skater skirts are the ultimate clothing item for girls that want to look cute, yet are going for a more casual style. There are plenty of ways to style these skirts, but if you’re planning on spending the day with your friends, a long-sleeved crop top is the way to go!
And if you want to go full-hipster, all you need to do is add a broad-brim hat to the mix!
#11. Graphic T-Shirt and Shorts
Image source: Pinterest
The graphic T-shirt and shorts look has been around forever, so it’s obviously going to be included in this category. But, there are more ways than one to style this look.
For example, if you want to be extra comfortable, you can opt for some biker shorts, an oversized T-shirt, and sneakers.
On the other hand, you can switch out the biker shorts for denim ones. Tuck in the graphic tee, and add a belt to elevate this casual look. Pair with some sneakers, and you can wear this outfit anywhere.
#12. Denim Skirt and Graphic T-Shirt
Image source: Pinterest
Essentially, if you like the idea of wearing a graphic T-shirt, but you’re not into wearing shorts, this look is for you.
Pair your favorite graphic tee with a simple denim skirt. Tuck the T-shirt into the skirt, and add a belt. Accessorize with some faux leather bracelets, and wear your favorite sneakers. You can choose to wear a backpack or a crossbody; it’s completely up to you.
#13. Shorts and a Cardigan

Yet another boho-inspired look, if you’re planning on spending the day with your friends, and you don’t know what to wear, this is easy to put together.
You will need denim shorts, a loose-fitting tank top or short-sleeved shirt, and a long cardigan. For the outfit to look more casual, wear some gladiator sandals, and you can also add a floppy hat if you’re in the mood.
Finally, add plenty of jewelry to complete the casual aesthetic of the look.
#14. Floral Skirt

As mentioned, floral prints are great for the summer. This look is perfect if you’re going out with your friends and you want to look casual yet put together.
Pair a floral mini skirt with a simple white or black tank top and some sneakers. Add a simple necklace and some hoop earrings, and finalize the look with a small backpack.
And if you’re planning on wearing this outfit at night, just throw on a denim jacket and switch the sneakers for some ankle-length boots.
#15. Oversized Button-Up Blouse and Shorts (Look #1)
Image source: Pinterest
This casual look can be recreated in two ways. First, if you’re looking for an outfit you’ll be comfortable wearing all day, start by putting on some biker shorts. Depending on what you’re comfortable wearing, you can opt for either short or long shorts (it’s completely up to you).
Next, add a crop top. Again, you can go as short or long as you want, since you will be adding a layer on top. Finally, add the blouse, and button just the bottom part of it (the 3 or 4 bottom buttons). Add some small hoop earrings and a crossbody bag, and you’re ready to take on the day!
#16. Oversized Button-Up Blouse and Shorts (Look #2)
Image source: Pinterest
If you like the idea of the previous outfit, but you would rather wear denim shorts, go right ahead! Add your crop top, and put on your blouse but don’t button it the same way you would for the previous look. Instead, just close the middle button, and tuck one side of the blouse into your shorts.
The belt is optional, but it would definitely elevate the overall outfit. Pair with some Converse sneakers or gladiator sandals.
#17. Plaid Button-Up Shirt and Graphic T-shirt
Image source: Pinterest
Now, this is the perfect outfit to wear to a rock concert. For starters, you get to choose whether you want to wear jeans, leggings, shorts or a skirt. Next, get out a graphic T-shirt. It’s completely up to you whether you want to wear a baggy T-shirt or one that’s more form-fitting.
Finally, take the plaid button-up shirt, and tie it around your waist. You can place it as low or high as you want to. And that’s it!
You can add a harness or some chunky jewelry if you want to accentuate the look, and put on some comfy sneakers or combat boots.
#18. T-Shirt Dress
Image source: Pinterest
A T-shirt dress is great for when you plan on spending the day at the beach, but you still want to look good. You can put on your bathing suit underneath, and wear either sneakers or flip-flops, whatever you prefer.
But don’t worry, this outfit isn’t just for the beach. You can basically wear it for whatever occasion you like. However, if the dress is a bit on the shorter side, you may want to consider wearing biker shorts underneath, as they’ll make you feel more secure.
#19. Checkered Print Set
Image source: Pinterest
If you want something simple to throw on for when you’re about to go to the beach with your friends, this checkered print set is just the thing. Best of all, you can even wear it out, as it’s quite easy to style. You can dress it up by adding lots of jewelry and wearing some sandals, or dress it down by wearing sneakers instead.
Trendy Summer Outfits
#20. White Jeans and a Crochet Top
Image source: Pinterest
White jeans are always trending, but what makes this outfit stand out is this stunning crochet top. The pants represent a blank canvas, which is why you need to pair them with something as whimsical as this colorful top.
For accessories, you won’t need much, except perhaps some vibrantly-colored earrings. As for the shoes, both sneakers and sandals will go great.
#21. Flare Pants and Crop Top
Image source: Pinterest
As you may know, flare pants used to be all the rage in the 70s. Although they were once again made popular in the 90s, it seems that they’ve really made their comeback in the 2020s.
If you like the way they look but haven’t found a way to style them, consider starting out with a basic look. You can pair solid-colored pants with a colorful crop top, or if the pants have a lot going on, a white or black crop top will do.
This look is simple yet incredibly trendy and looks amazing on all body types.
#22. Denim Shorts and a Hawaiian Button-Up Shirt
Image source: Pinterest
Yet again, another look that has come back. In the 80s, Hawaiian button-ups were incredibly popular, but mostly when it came to men’s fashion. But, girls can rock this look too!
All you will need is some denim shorts, a tank top, and an oversized Hawaiian button-up. You can find plenty that have some amazing patterns in the men’s section of basically any clothing store.
Make them look even more trendy by tucking the tank top into your shorts and adding a faux leather belt. As for shoes, you can wear anything from sneakers to sandals!
#23. Khaki Shorts and a Tank Top
Image source: Pinterest
This look is the definition of simplicity. All you will need is a pair of khaki shorts and a white tank top. Or, if you’re not a fan of light colors, you can also go for a black top and some olive green shorts.
Don’t forget to add plenty of gold jewelry in order to tie everything together, and put on some strappy sandals to finalize the look.
#24. Split Hem Cami Dress
Image source: Pinterest
What makes a cami dress look even better? A split hem, of course. Sometimes all it takes is a tiny detail to make something look incredible.
You can pretty much style this dress to go with sneakers or sandals, and best of all, you can wear it everywhere.
#25. Overall Dress
Image source: Pinterest
An overall dress is a perfect addition to every girl’s wardrobe. It’s incredibly easy to style, and most of them have pockets! Best of all, you can wear literally any type of top underneath your dress.
For example, when the weather is scorching hot, feel free to wear a crop top. Or, if it’s a bit chilly, you can go for a long-sleeved shirt, or add a cardigan on top of a T-shirt.
When it comes to shoes, any kind of sneakers will look great. Or, you can throw on some combat boots if you prefer.
#26. Crop Top and Blazer
Image source: Pinterest
This is a great nighttime look for when you don’t want to wear something that’s too elegant, but you do want to dress up for a special occasion. You will need a pair of pleated shorts, a faux leather belt, a crop top, and an oversized blazer.
Keep in mind that if the shorts have any type of pattern on them, choose a solid-colored blazer and crop top (or the other way around). However, if both the blazer and shorts are solid-colored, you can choose a crop top that has patterns or vibrant colors on it. But, that’s up to you.
Add some gold or silver multi-chain necklaces and rings to match. When it comes to shoes, you can go with heels, sandals, or sneakers, depending on how “dressed up” you want to appear.
#27. Flowy Flower Print Romper
Image source: Pinterest
Yet another look that you can easily recreate, a flowy romper is the perfect summer outfit for basically any occasion. You can style this flower print one with some sneakers, or sandals if you prefer, and add a thin chain necklace and some rings to complete the look.
#28. Animal Print Skirt
Image source: Pinterest
To be fair, print skirts are pretty stylish in general, but animal prints are especially trendy. But the best thing about these types of skirts is that you don’t have to do a whole lot to make your outfit look stunning. For instance, add a simple white or black top, some gold jewelry, and your favorite heels, and you’ll look like you just stepped out of a fashion magazine!
On the other hand, if you want to make this outfit appear more casual, consider pairing it with a graphic T-shirt. Tuck it into the skirt, add a belt, and that’s it!
Chic Summer Outfits
#29. Embroidered Dress

When there’s a special occasion around the corner, an embroidered dress will never fail to dazzle everyone around you. It’s simple yet elegant, and the embroidered detailing sets it apart from your everyday dress.
Possibly the best part about this type of outfit is that you don’t need to add any accessories in order for it to look absolutely stunning on you!
#30. Sleeveless Jumpsuit
Image source: Pinterest
If you like the fact that the 70s are making a comeback, then you need a chic jumpsuit in your wardrobe. The fact that you don’t have to do anything to make it look stunning is a real time-saver, especially if you don’t like to spend a lot of time getting dressed.
And, you can basically wear any type of shoes to complete the look: sandals, sneakers, platform shoes, etc. Also, don’t forget to throw on a cropped jacket if you’re wearing this outfit at night.
#31. Bodycon Dress
Image source: Pinterest
No list would be complete without a bodycon dress! This style became popular somewhere in the mid-to-late 90s, and now it’s back.
Essentially, the great thing about a bodycon dress is that you don’t have to accessorize to make it look good. All you need is the dress and your favorite high heels or platform shoes.
#32. Jeans and a Corset
Image source: Pinterest
Who says jeans have to be casual? If you’re looking for a way to make your denim look more trendy, the best way to do so is to add a gorgeous corset top. You can also layer a leather jacket over it if you’re planning on wearing it at night.
Finally, depending on the cut of your jeans, you can pair this look with heels or boots, but either way, you’ll look stunning!
#33. Asymmetrical Dress
Image source: Pinterest
One of the most popular fashion trends is wearing a dress that’s short in the front and long in the back. Essentially, these dresses are popular for a specific reason. Since they’re shorter in the front, when you start walking, the back of the dress will look flowy and elegant.
Also, consider wearing some gorgeous heels and a bold necklace to bring the entire look together.
#34. Dress and Blazer Combo
Image source: Pinterest
If you have a formal event to attend but you have no idea what to wear, this outfit is easy to recreate. All you will need is a sundress, a thin belt, and a blazer. Since these are all clothing items that you can likely find in your closet (and perhaps borrow the blazer from your mom or sister), you won’t have to spend your allowance in order to recreate this look.
Depending on whether you’re leaning toward a more elegant or casual look, you can wear heels or ankle boots.
#35. Pencil Skirt and Animal Print Blouse
Image source: Pinterest
If you prefer wearing an animal print blouse rather than a skirt, you can create an incredibly chic outfit by pairing the blouse with a pencil skirt. Also, a brightly-colored thin belt would look great with this outfit, as would some high heels.
#36. Tulle Skirt with Long-Sleeve Fitted Shirt
Image source: Pinterest
Do you have a tulle skirt that you’ve never worn just sitting in your closet? If so, then it’s time to take it out and style it! Overall, a tulle skirt is best when paired with a simple fitted top that will show off your figure. You can also wear it with some Converse sneakers, and add a long chain necklace as the final touch.
#37. Collared Dress
Image source: Pinterest
If you like incorporating gothic-styled clothing into your wardrobe, a collared dress is a must! This one is especially great because it has mesh sleeves that are perfect for the summer. As the finishing touch, style this dress with some platforms or combat boots and add a choker.
