Also, you may think of going for double slit maxi skirts that are trendy and functional enough for the scorching temperatures. Or, channel a goddess-inspired look with chic maxi dresses and gladiator sandals to keep your summer style fashionable yet functional.

Go for breathable and lightweight black ensembles.

Though summer season is known for bright colors and black wasn’t encouraged, that doesn’t mean you can’t wear the timeless shade. Like Abbey, simply opt for breathable and lightweight black ensembles to keep you cool in the heat. Rayon, linen, chiffon, cotton and such are summer-friendly fabrics you may go for. Also, backless black tops, black cut-out jumpsuits, black tank tops and such are some of Abbey’s choices when it comes to looking fresh and chic this summer.

Opt for summer-inspired prints.

Floral prints, tropical patterns, palm prints, nautical stripes, and anchor prints are all the rage this season. So look cool and fresh by incorporating them into your summer outfits. Like Abbey, a simple anchor print tee worn with blazer and shorts can be enough to look summer-inspired on your street looks. If you’re a fan of a classic style, a pair of striped trousers worn with a button-down shirt can also be fashionable and cool.

Look fresh and cool in shorter hemlines.

Though a maxi length is all the rage right now, you could never go wrong in mini skirts, midi skirts, and shorts. Like Abbey, go for a pencil skirt and a chic blouse that will be a perfect office outfit this summer. Also, think of trading your denim jeans with shorts, and jumpsuit with rompers that will be more comfortable in the scorching temperatures. Like her, you may also think of other details to personalize your style like wearing a fringed dress, frayed shorts, and peplum tops that will give your summer style some flair.

Wear one statement accessory at a time.
