The summer season is such a fabulous time of year! People in the midwest love this time of year so much as we know what is in our future!!
We realize that not every woman enjoys fashion and styling outfits. We definitely have been told this often! Some find it a challenge and that is where we can help. We love putting outfits together for you. Summer party outfits are what we are sharing today because it’s fun to style an outfit.
The benefit of having a few outfit ideas all planned out in advance gives you confidence that will show. Simply get the items together and enjoy your evening. There are a few things to consider when choosing your outfit- is the gathering casual or formal, at a home or venue. We have created looks for a casual pool party, a beach party, a home dinner party, dinner out with friends, and a milestone event at a venue. Come along and let us know your favorites.
What To Wear To A Summer Party
Casual Pool Party
Top / Skirt / Purse / Belt / Earrings / Stacked Bracelet / Sandal
A white skirt is so versatile…it can be worn with a pair of sneakers and a tee or dressed up for a casual night out. We paired it here with a cute black top and raffia purse. We love the crisp and clean lined look of an outfit like this for the summer….check out this beautiful stacked bracelet from Frances Valentine. This bracelet is available in many color combos and is below $100!
Beach Party
Cover Up Dress / Bathing Suit / Hat / Bracelet / Earrings / Tote / Sandal
A crochet cover up dress would be the perfect cover up for a beach party. We think it looks so classy and stylish. The blue tones are complimentary and the jewelry elevates the entire outfit. The Madewell Tote is one of our favorites as it can hold quite a bit and is at a good price point.
A Friends House For Dinner
Dress / Earrings / Bracelet / Purse / Heel
We have obsessed over this beautiful white dress from Cinq A Sept!! This would also be a wonderful outfit to wear out to dinner or date night! The Ally Pump is one of our favorites because the shoe is incredibly comfortable! Take a look at. our post “Ally Shoes-Where Style Meets Science and so Much More” to learn more about this great line of footwear. Use Promo Code SEASONS for 10% off your first pair.
Dining Out With Friends
Dress / Earrings / Necklace / Clutch / Sandals
We first saw this dress and thought we loved the silhouette but also thought about how this dress would transition well into the fall with a pair of knee high boots, cropped jacket and a chunky necklace.
Summer Event
Dress / Earrings / Clutch / Heel
This dress is amazing! We both really like dresses from Reiss and this one is no exception.. Paired with the pearl earrings and purse and the flower embellished heels this outfit will be a true compliment magnet!!

Things To Remember When Putting Together An Outfit
Whether you have a casual dinner or a special event, plan your outfit in advance to prevent the last minute scramble we all have gone through. If you struggle with this whole process- use these tips. You can always ask us or your friends. We are always happy to help!!
1. Select your outfit first- typically a dress is easier because it’s only one decision.
2. Select the proper under garments.
3. Select your shoes – think if you will be stranding for awhile a block heel works best or on uneven ground a wedge works well too.
4. Purse selection- consider what you need to bring and if you will be carrying it for a time. A crossbody leaves your hands free!!
5. Jewelry- this is the fun part but if you struggle with selection remember too much is too much!
Have a wonderful day! We hope you are enjoying your summer!!
