Fans of trying layers and texture this summer should try a sheer button down shirt over a strong bralette and easy-fitting, flowy shorts—all together, it’s a look of pure ease. The button-down top, made of sheer fabrics such as organza or georgette, gives a subtle transparency that reveals the fitted bralette underneath, a fun game of covering and revealing. Opt for soft pastel or muted shades to create a feminine look, or dark bold colours for a more dramatic edge. The bralette itself underneath should offer structure and contrast, ideally in a solid or understated print that goes well with the shirt. Easy, high-waisted shorts in pleated linen or tencel are full enough to give that easy comfort and visual balance into the grounded shape of the pleated top. Trusty platform espadrilles or sleek block heels will elongate the legs and help balance the look without weighing it down. Accessorize with minimal gold jewelry — think delicate bangles or pendant necklaces — to maintain the polished vibe. Ideal for Roof top parties, Beach club parties or summer nights out, this look is all about being light and sophisticated with a hint of dangerous.
1. Oversized Linen Shirt + Wide-Leg Trousers = Summertime Minimalism 12 of 50
The voluminous oversized linen shirt worn with wide-leg pants is a lesson in minimal summer effort and relaxed luxury. Linen, famous for being breathable and lightweight, means you’ll keep cool under the sun while the oversized shape of the shirt has a relaxed but polished fit. Choose trousers in wide-leg silhouettes in similar natural fabrics to echo the shirt’s fluidity but with a little more structure. Neutral tones — consider shapes in warm white or soft beige or muted greys — add to the minimalist feel and mean this look is easily dressed up or down. You have the option of tucking in the front to define your waist a little, or let it hang loose for a bit more of a laid-back, boho vibe. Just style this with some leather slides or some simple sandals and a little gold jewelry if that’s your thing (I’m feeling some dainty chains and just a little hoop earring vibe to accompany this look). It’s perfect for outdoor gallery openings, weekend brunch with friends or casual work meetings when you want to look polished but not like you’re trying too hard. Both are timeless investments you can layer with other wardrobe staples all season long.
2. Boxy Crop and Flowing Culottes: The Fun Balance
This combo hits just the right sweet spot of structured form and flowing freedom that feels artful, playful and just right for summer. Culottes, forsaking a skinny leg and fitted waist for a billowy cut and breezy feel, are vibrant when rendered in things like chambray, viscose, or soft cotton blends — materials that are cool and that you can actually stand to wear on a hot day. And when you wear these with a boxy crop top you create a new shape as the straight cut of the crop makes a striking difference from the sway over of the skirt pant. The top part should crop just above the waistband for flattering proportions, providing a little flash of skin without giving too much away. Go for a statement pattern or print here—florals, graphic abstractions or even gentle tie-dye work—to breathe life and personality into your outfit. Pair with strappy flat sandals and a woven straw tote bag for day, be it for a day on the beach or for wandering the market. For an easy evening update, trade sandals in for sophisticated mules or block heels. The look combines playful youthfulness with a curated, artsy vibe that works for both city living or vacation modes.

The ultimate summer essential for 2025 is the loose-fit tank dress in breathable fabrics like cotton voile, gauze, and even light silk. These breezy numbers are as stylish and comfortable as it gets, with A-line cuts, tiered layers and gentle volume that keeps it chill no matter how hot you are. And to keep the look from feeling too plain, statement accessories are the name of the game. Think oversize colored-frame sunglasses, chunky bangles and statement earrings to help give the look energy and personality. It takes one bright, color-blocked or gently tie-dyed dress to elevate the vibe: to create a piece that sways as you walk. Throwing on a denim jacket or a light utility jacket over the shoulders gives it an urban feel while providing breakout cover for cooler nights. When it comes to footwear, the options are vast, from sporty white sneakers for downdays to cowboy boots for a boho look with a twist. If you want to brighten things up more, you may want to wear a crossbody bag in a bright color. From everyday city strolls to relaxed garden parties, this outfit will add comfort and graphic style.

Opt for pastel or toned-down colors for an unobtrusive and slightly feminine effect; choose darker colors to add a more dramatic look. The bralette underneath should offer structure and contrast, ideally in a stable color or subtle print that works with the shirt. High-waisted tencel or pleated linen shorts provide volume and comfort and help ground the top’s airiness in a more substantive silhouette.
