Ever stand in front of your jam-packed wardrobe, staring at more than enough clothing options, and think: I have nothing to wear? Same. But perhaps the issue isn’t that you’re out of viable outfit choices. You just need a fresh dose of inspiration — say: outfits for hot weather, perhaps — to help you see your wardrobe in a new way. That’s where Outfit Dump comes in. We supply you with enough ideas to fuel your style until the next drop comes along.
Dreaming up the ideal summer vacation is fuel that keeps us going while navigating dreary bouts of weather, endless work deadlines and the stress of being a human. The only thing better? Planning all the warm-weather outfits you’ll be wearing on said vacay. The most prominent summer fashion trends — ranging from surprisingly versatile scarves to pretty and nostalgic milkmaid dresses — leave a lot of room for you to experiment and have fun with your wardrobe. Here, we’ve rounded up some of the most covetable looks filling our IG feeds to provide a little inspo.
Lacy, lingerie-esque pieces have been on-trend for months now, which makes your summer holiday the time to jump on board if you haven’t already. Add a pretty white floral embellishment and you’re ready for whatever the day ahead holds.
Dress up your everyday beachwear with a more sophisticated take on a summer classic. This soft yellow tweed halter dress leans into this year’s increasingly popular butter yellow trend.
Chunky sandals plus a romantic and frilly pink maxi dress? Yes, please. Look this way for all the hyper-feminine inspo you could possibly need.
Is there anything that says “out of office” more than a colorful crochet number? We adore the scalloped details on this dress from Miss Selfridge. Or make like Tom Daley and crochet your own…
Proof that it’s possible to combine multiple trends without doing too much, this holiday-ready look combines some of this season’s favorites: see-through layers, crochet fabrics and ballet pumps.
Crisp, breezy white fabrics are a summertime staple every season for a reason. This matching set helps the look feel more put-together. Why not treat yourself to this iteration from Reformation?
Consider this floral maxi dress and not-too-big hat your sign that protecting yourself from the sun’s rays can be fashionable. Here at Refinery29, we’re in agreement that sun protection is always chic.
Mix and match your fave swimsuit with a contrasting coverup to add a playful element to your poolside outfit.
Edgy, cool shades of black for summer on a scorching-hot beach? You bet. Why not combine trends and opt for a black drop-waist dress like this one from Free People?
2024 is the summer of the drop-waist dress, whether it’s with a frilly, butter-yellow bustier à la this Instagram post from Elizabeth Maior; this minimalist number from Free People; or this Urban Outfitters style with a V-shape bodice and frilly skirt.
Shine as bright as the summer sun and keep the good vibes going in head-to-toe neon. Extra Brat points if you opt for a neon green.
Pick almost any trend and you’ll instantly find it in a delicious butter yellow. Drop waist? The Eden Strapless Maxi Dress will see you through all summer weddings. Tennis core? The ASOS Design Polo Dress will have you channeling your inner Zendaya. Co-ord style? Look no further than the Dancing Queen Co-Ord. Simply take your pick and then bask in the inevitable compliments that come rolling in.
Nothing says “I’m on holiday and have zero responsibilities for a week” like an oversized graphic tee and a bag big enough to fit the entire contents of your suitcase. If you’re looking for luxury, Ganni is the GOAT for graphic tees in comfy organic cotton. For cheaper options, scour the virtual shelves of H&M.
Following on from spring’s Western trend, which saw cowboy boots and hats galore, double denim is bigger than ever. Make like a fashion insider and play with different shapes, textures, brands and drapes.
From Challengers to Wimbledon to the Olympics, it really is the summer of sport and #tenniscore. Keep it simple with a tennis skirt and a fitted tank. If it’s good enough for Zendaya…
Last year it was all about the Bermuda short. This year it’s all about the jort. Play with shape and proportion by pairing your favorite oversized jean shorts with a fitted top.
Denim maxi skirts resurfaced last summer and still reign supreme. Keep things weather-appropriate and casual by styling yours with a white tank top and a pair of cute yet functional trainers.
