Nasty Gal, $78

Summer vibes all around with floral, leafy, and colorful prints. Pair a bright dress with some strappy sandals for the best beach day look. 

3. Puff-sleeved dresses


Target, $25

These might have to be summer 2021's hottest trend, and they deserve to be. Puff sleeves *are* the moment, and there's a dress in every color to match. 

4. Ruched tops


Tilly's, $28

Add a little bit of *spice* to your basic top with some ruched details. It'll still go with everything, but now it'll amp your outfit up to the next level. 

5. High-top sneaks


Converse, $70

6. Slip skirts


Hollister, $40

Midi skirts have been in style for a while now, but a simple slip version will check every box for the best summer outfit (Flowy? Check. Able to be thrown on over a swimsuit? Check. Super cute? Check!).

Cotton On, $60

Meet the mom jean's cooler older sister. Wide-leg jeans are the ultimate throwback pair, and they feel as good as they look. 

8. Athleisure dresses
