Go-To Summer Outfit Ideas for When You’re Tired of Thinking
This post is all about summer outfit ideas for women that do not require much planning or thinking. By the end of this post, you will know exactly which clothing pieces to reach for this summer when you don’t know what to wear!
When a new season begins, getting dressed is so exciting! You get to wear clothes you haven’t worn in about a year, as well as try out some brand-new seasonal items you may have recently added to your wardrobe. It’s thrilling… Trust me, I know! I have two packages here I cannot wait to rip open!!
But once the newness of a season wears off, you often tire of getting dressed or get sick of your clothes. Dont, worry! I am sharing 4 go-to summer outfit ideas that will leave you feeling cute and confident, always.
You will see that you don’t need to continually order new items (although it’s soooo fun!) to feel cute. Reach for the following items in your wardrobe when you have too much going on in your life to think of an outfit combination.
Summer Outfit Ideas
1. Elevated Blouse with Jean Shorts
One thing I don’t hold back from stocking up on is good jean shorts that fit well and are comfortable. If I come across a pair I like, I buy them. They are essential to always having cute summer outfit ideas.
My fave brands of jean shorts are:
I love their quality of denim and the way they fit. I always go for the mom shorts styles, which are high waisted, because they seem to best flatter my figure.
And if you have some well-fitting jean shorts, simply top with with a pretty blouse! The casualness of the shorts and the uniqueness of the tops creates an interesting combination and takes very little brain power. See these two options:

2. Maxi Skirt with Ruffle Top
I have had this white maxi skirt for a little while but wasn’t really sure of what to wear on top. But I always knew it would look great when paired with a bold color. I’ve had this thing with bright green lately, and I really think this combination works.
If you don’t have a lot of green or simply are not a fan, bright pink would also look good. Just be sure to not wear a tee with basic lines with this skirt. It would look too basic and uninspiring! Reach for a top with some type of unique detail, such as frilly or puff sleeves. And if the top is on the longer side, tuck it into the maxi skirt for a more polished look.
Top off the outfit with some fun baubles to really elevate the look, and go for wedge sandals or espadrilles on the bottom.

3 .Polished Tee with Jean Shorts
This is your reminder to stock your wardrobe with quality basic t-shirts that aren’t too loose or long. I bought this boxy boyfriend tee from Walmart in 2 colors because it is that good. The quality of the material is a 10/10 (It’s slightly on the thicker side.), and the details like the pocket and little side slits make it a bit more finished than your average tee. Plus, the shorter length keeps everything more streamlined.
Thus, when going for a simple look like a tee and denim shorts, this outfit looks anything but lazy or sloppy! I always love to add fun accessories and a cute bag and sneakers/sandals to tie everything together. (These $15 sandals are soooo comfortable, and that means a lot coming from me! I have such shoe woes.)

4. Easy Sundress
It doesn’t get much easier than this. As long as your sundress fits you, there is literally no thinking required for this summer outfit. I have to admit I don’t have enough sundresses in my wardrobe, and I continually regret it when it’s super hot and I do not feel like wearing shorts.
Whether you’re heading to brunch, a picnic, an outdoor happy hour, a school event (Just watch the length for school events.), or pretty much anything, sundresses are the perfect solution to deciding on a summer outfit. They look pretty and put-together, and the only thinking you have to put into it is hitting “add to cart.”

Here are some of my favorite jewelry brands to have on hand to easily complete summer outfits:
- Baublebar bracelets, Powerbeads by Jen bracelets (She’s local!!), Little Words Project bracelets
- Powerbeads by Jen necklaces, Gorjana necklaces
The pieces from these brands are stackable and layerable and have good quality!
Final Thoughts on Summer Outfit Ideas
Getting dressed in the middle of summer doesn’t have to be tiresome! Be sure to have some of the wardrobe items I mentioned in this post, and you will always have something to wear.
Accessories are so important! They really elevate basic outfits and create looks. You will look like you have great style, not like you are simply a walking clothes hanger.
