Summer may not *officially* start till 21 June, but with the 20-degree days coming up, summer is here in our book, and with it comes a new set of outfits.
This is the season to retire our suede jackets, swap out loafers for sandals, and let our limbs get some sun. Of course, we still have things to do and places to be. As much as we’d love to relive our school summer holidays or swan about a resort in swimwear for three months, our summer lewks still need to be practical, versatile and city-appropriate. #Adulting
That means easy separates that can help you look put together in under thirty seconds, trendy pedal pushers that serve as micro-shorts’ elegant elder sister, and some fresh denim combos.
So if you’ve recently done your closet swap and are staring at some newly resurfaced pieces in search of some summer outfit ideas, we’ve got you covered.
Below, check out 13 summer outfit ideas we can’t wait to wear as the mercury rises.

I’ve never met a matching set, and I didn’t love, but this Rotate by Birger Christensen shirt and skirt set is as chic as they come. With subtle floral embroidery in the same hue, the crisp blue set is immediately elevated from your everyday office shirt to a statement top in its own right. Layer the look under a light, oversized raincoat on gloomy days, or swap out the shirt for a tank top during a heatwave. One set, dozens of looks.

Like it or not, last summer’s pedal pushers are back, but thankfully, we’ve also been served fresh ways to style them. Wear with an off-shoulder top and strappy heels for an elegant date night look or with a sports shirt and flip flops for a borrowed-from-the-boys touch, here’s your second chance to fall in love with the elegant capri shorts.

Denim on denim will never not be a fashionable summer look, but this season try combining two trends in one with a denim button-down vest paired with barrel jeans. The slimming top and wide-legged trousers balance each other out perfectly, so you’ve got a chic, statement look without sacrificing comfort.
