The days are getting longer and the nights are getting hotter. And, let’s be honest, summer fashion is so much fun. I definitely have more summer outfits than winter outfits. In fact, I am preparing 10 summer 2016 outfits to keep you looking your best all summer long. These outfits are perfect for getting together with friends or for having a night out on the town.
1) Stripes + Gold + Leather (I’m Just Your Stripe)
The first style from my summer 2016 outfits is really over the top. Anytime that I wear a hat I feel instantly more fashionable. The black and white striped shorts match the clutch. I am tucking the front part of the black shirt in for a bit more pizazz. As if this outfit does not have enough detail, the layered gold necklace really is the icing on the cake.

Shorts: Bongo from Kmart

2) Floral + Fringe + Lace (Floral Night Out)
Second is an outfit that is totally girly. I love me a good pair of floral soft shorts because they look to stylish but feel like you are wearing nothing. The cropped shirt is anything but basic with the fringe. Including a lace kimono with a long hem balances out the length of the shorts.

Cardigan: Mauve from Ross
Shorts: Ambiance Apparel from Ross
Shoes: SM from Sears
Necklace: Hot Topic
3) White + Coral + Gold (Don’t Rain On My Parade)
Third is a highly accessorized outfit! Yes, I am 100% using an umbrella as a fashion accessory only, but it matches the coral soft shorts so well I cannot resist. Layered gold necklaces complement all of the coral nicely, and the white tank breaks up the monochromatic feel.
Shirt: Soprano from Dillards
Shorts: Freestyle Revolution from Dillards
Sandals: Jacklyn Smith from Kmart
Umbrella: Forever 21
Crossbody: rue21
Necklaces: Forever 21
4) Hot Pink + Floral + Black (Rompin’ Around The Garden)
Fourth is a super simple style that comes across as expert. I am wearing a hot pink purse to pull the pink flowers out of the floral romper. Since the hardware on the purse is gold, I am following suit with the long y-necklace and bangles. Gladiator sandals add a touch of fun.
Romper: Liberty Love from Peebles
Necklace: Claire’s
Bracelets: rue21
Shoes: SM from Sears
Handbag: Walmart
5) Pink + White + Nude (Summer Blushed Hues)
Fifth in this look book of summer 2016 outfits is without a doubt soft and feminine. I am changing things up with blush pink shorts and making sure they are not hidden with a cropped crochet shirt. The nude bow sandals continue the feminine feel, and a long crystal necklace is the finishing touch.

Crossbody: rue21
I complete this eyeshadow and eyeliner look entirely with Urban Decay’s Naked 3 palette.
6) Black + Gold + Fringe (Boho Wonderland)
Next is the ultimate boho aesthetic. Starting with this black surplice romper, it screams to be paired with tall gladiator sandals. A black fringe crossbody keeps the feels going. The jewelry is entirely boho with bone, feather, crystal, and gold accents. Surplice allows the layered necklace to be shown off.

7) Stripes + Gold + Black (Runway Jailbird)
Continuing on, I have another striped style. Again, something about stripes makes me feel like the ultimate fashion guru. Check out how the striped clutch matches the striped cardigan. I am opting for super dark wash shorts to wear with my black v-neck tee to avoid adding too many colors into the situation. A long y-necklace also works here to balance the profile.
Cardigan: Walmart
Shirt: No Boundaries from Walmart
Shorts: Indigo Rain from Macy’s
Hat: rue21
Necklace: Claire’s
Clutch: Christian Siriano from Payless
Booties: from Sears
Earrings: Walmart
8) Coral + Cognac + Denim (S is for Sharkbite)
Here is a look great for everyday wear and running errands. This coral off-the-shoulder top features a shark bite hem to keep things interesting. Since the shirt leaves some exposed skin near the chest, a clam necklace is in order. Cognac pairs well with coral, hence the crossbody.
Shirt: Ultra Flirt from Delias
Shorts: No Boundaries from Walmart
Crossbody: rue21
Sandals: Bongo from Sears
Necklace: Charming Charlie
9) Silver + Black + Gray (She’s Cold)
Now this is a look for all my ladies that love to wear black. Since the black cold shoulder shirt is solid in color, a silver key necklace breaks up the hue. I love the idea of acid washed bermuda shorts- longer shorts support the slightly dressy feel of the shirt. Basic black sandals give comfort with a dash of shine. Throw a leather purse over your shoulder and out the door you go!
Shirt: Nicolette from Delias
Shorts: Vanilla Star from Sears
Necklace: Kennywood
Ring: Walmart
Sandals: Icing
Handbag: Walmart
I complete this look with wet n wild’s Au Natural palette in Nude Awakening.
10) Gold + Black + Leather (Pineapple Strut)
The last style from these summer 2016 fashion trends pays homage to pineapples. I am not letting these gold pineapple leggings intimidate me! I am pairing them with a longer black tank top. To make this look feel more on the dressy side I am opting for heeled booties. Notice all of the accents are gold- from the booties, purse, and chain necklace to support the leggings and overall theme.
Shirt: Faded Glory from Walmart
Leggings: No Boundaries from Walmart
Booties: Unlisted from Peebles
Handbag: Kmart
Necklace: Walmart
