Effortless Summer Outfits Perfect for 4th of July and Beyond
It’s time for BBQ’s, pool parties, beach days, and weekend getaways, and of course outfit inspo is a must. None of us want complicated or fussy summer looks; it’s all about keeping it effortless and cool. Texture, mixing styles, print, and pops of color are a great way to amp up your style while keeping an effortless vibe to your summer outfits.
Mixing it up
Do mix styles! Mix flirty, pretty tops with laidback, baggy bottoms like cargo or military styles. Don’t forget to add practical, in-the-moment accessories like slides and a bucket hat. FYI if you need a cool way to carry all your stuff on warm (hot) summer days, try a hydration backpack.

Full Color
Summer is the perfect time of year for bold color choices. And you know everyone on the Style Report Team is a sucker for both Faithfull the Brand and jumpsuits. So of course a bold jumpsuit by Faithfull is always a good idea to us.

Timeless Separates
A pretty polka dot blouse and khaki short are classics, and perfect for many summers to come. Investing in separates that can be worn time and time again will give you the biggest bang for your buck. Let’s face it, fast fashion isn’t good for your wallet or the environment. Pick pieces that you can love, “give you joy” and wear for years.
