When you're out for a stroll in the mall or outside work, you can opt for denim shorts so you still have that put-together look, but exudes a sense of a casual outfit vibe. If you're preparing for a beach vacation, then you can have a more rugged vibe with ripped denim shorts, instead.

2. Strappy Sandals

Pair them with your skirts, denim shorts, or even wear them when you try hiking, on the beach, or even inside malls. A step up above slippers, but less casual than shoes or heels, these strappy sandals give you an air of casual laidback but still stylish summer fashion.

4. Beach-inspired crop tops

Want to feel the summer season all year round? Invest in a beach-inspired crop top! It does not need to be full of images of the beach, or the sand, but you can style it with the beach as your inspiration. Choose a blue knitted crop top, or you can even DIY your own crop top by repairing your old favorite tee. Just remove the sleeves, crop it to your desired length, and voila, your very own crop top that's always beach ready.

5. Bold patterns on your tank tops

Cute summer outfits are not exclusive to bikinis, dresses, or accessories, if you're looking for a different vibe but puts comfort above all else, then tank tops are for you! Explore the different bold patterns for your tank top to reflect your mood. It also does not need to be body fitting, but let it loose and light, so you can avoid feeling hot even when you're under the sun, or even at night. You can choose to have a single print in front of your tee, or you can have floral, lines, or several shapes according to your style. Maxi dress and other light dresses

What's a chic, fresh, and breezy way to enjoy a summer outfit? Wear dresses! In case you don't know, a full length dress exudes relaxed elegance perfect for any weather, may it be spring or summer. You can also choose from the various designs of maxi dresses. If you're the adventurous type, you can opt for a maxi dress with a tube top, or if you're on the conservative type, get the sleeveless one. There are even full sleeved dresses but with comfy fabric, perfect for formal events, such as birthdays and gatherings.

5. Accessories

One way to elevate your summer outfit ideas is through your accessories. Celebrating colors, you can choose to wear bangles, large earrings, several necklaces, bracelets, and even anklets! You can totally mix and match your summer outfit and get a different style just by switching up your accessories. Try incorporating pucca shells or stones on your jewelries, or even a necklace with some beach sand as a locket!

But did you know that accessories are not limited to jewelries? You can also try neckerchiefs, shawls, shades, even hats! Have fun in choosing the right accessory for your summer outfit, but be careful not to let your accessories overwhelm what you're wearing. Remember, they should complement one another so you appear more fabulous.

6. Coordinate intimates

Because it's summer, your intimates must also be paired with your over-all summer outfit! Instead of plain and usual undies, choose those which are sturdy and can last even after the summer season. Choose undies with a comfortable fabric, so you can enjoy every moment without worrying if your undies are showing, or if you're dressed prepared for a quick beach trip or even road trip to Tagaytay for some chill nights.

7. Sturdy Totes

With all your cute summer outfits, you must have a sturdy tote where you can carry all your essentials! Make sure it will not rip, or its parts tear, as it's a hassle to pick up your stuff on the ground, especially in this heat. Some opt for cloth bag, others those woven in natural fibers like abaca. Still there's nothing wring with the trusty leather or plastic tote as long as it will not clash with your outfit. Make your totes part of your summer outfit! Find the perfect pair in which you can use them multiple times, and not only for the beach. Who knows, you may need a good one as you try to find an affordable house and lot you can call your own this summer.

Aside from the tote, where else should you store your cute summer outfits when they're not is use? Inside your spacious wardrobe inside your dream home.
