5 looks to welcome summer this 2023

Looks in summer are also easier to create because you need fewer items: shorts and a top, or just a dress, and you’re ready to go! Nevertheless, we won’t leave you alone: we at Lookiero will help you with all the inspiration you need to put together the best summer outfits.

5 basic items and 5 trending items to create your summer looks

• Shorts: it’s an item you can’t avoid in summer. They are comfortable, practical, and they can adapt to every style and situation. When you think about shorts, you immediately think about the denim ones, but actually, there are hundreds of different styles. You just have to find the right one for you! You can also choose between different cuts and fabrics. For instance, there is denim, of course, but also cotton, linen, silk… Possibilities are endless! If your legs are your superpower, then you can easily pull off this item. However, a word to the wise: avoid going too short; leave the hot pants to teenagers!
• Tank top: we’ve seen this item on the Runways (see Prada AW2022) and worn by every It girl because it’s so versatile in summer. It can be matched with basically anything, and it can be used alone or in combination with a shirt left unbuttoned. You have different options with this item, too, so finding the best colour for your colour harmonies, and the best neckline for your body shape is key. You can’t go wrong wearing a tank top in summer!
• Skirt: if you have a more feminine style, you should opt for a skirt instead of shorts. Skirts can be even more practical than shorts, because you’ll definitely feel more freedom in the movements and more air between your legs, which is not too bad on hot summer days!
  You have different options here: opt for a denim skirt if you like a casual look, a floral one for your boho looks, and embroidered fabrics if you want a feminine and romantic touch.
• Dress: summer is for dresses, that’s a fact. They’re practical, light, versatile, and you can be ready in 5 minutes by just wearing one. You don’t have to think about matching the top with the bottom, just slip in your favourite dress, match your sandals, and you’re ready to go. Here the options are really endless: there are so many styles to choose from, so many prints, colours and fabrics, that you’ll never end up owning two similar dresses.
• Sandals: they are fundamental to complete your summer looks. It’s hard to wear any other kind of footwear when the days are super warm, and you have to walk to visit a city, or to go to the beach or simply to go anywhere under the sun. Like any item, you can find the best one for your necessities and opt for flat ones for the day and even short (kitten) heels for the night.

5 trending items

• Broderie anglaise tops: this kind of manufacture is perfect for summer because it immediately transports you to a boat in Capri, and that’s the mood we’re looking for. Ideal to be worn both with denim shorts and flowy skirts, it gives you a feminine but comfortable touch.
• Bermuda Shorts: If you don’t feel comfortable showing legs above the knee, you can opt for bermuda shorts, which are a little longer and have been trending lately. Every It girl wears them both with sneakers and Birkenstocks, kitten heel sandals and slingbacks: they really go with everything!
• Straw Bag: bags in summer should be big enough to hold everything you need to go to the beach, but also to go sightseeing. They should also be resistant and trendy at the same time. What better than a straw bag? Perfect for a beach day, but they can also be used in the city with an office look.
• Espadrilles: there’s no doubt, espadrilles are coming back this summer, both the flat version and the wedge. Different models for different occasions, all of them very quite functional and versatile.
• Tropical print maxi dress: there’s no better way to face hot summer days than replicating the most famous Versace look worn by JLO at the 2000 Grammys. A tropical print is always a good idea for this season, and applied on a maxi dress is even better.

5 summer looks for 2023

Now that you know all the basic and trendy items that you need to have in your wardrobe, it’s time to learn how to match them to create interesting and fashionable looks that can be worn for every occasion. Here are some ideas for you!

Casual summer look

For a casual look, perfect for the day to day or to go sightseeing these holidays, we opt for denim shorts and a solid colour top. This is the base on which to add your own personality; for example, you can wear a short-sleeved printed shirt, flat and comfortable sandals and a straw bag. Your call!

Boho summer look

If you want to achieve the true boho style, you should pick a floral maxi dress that will give you a 70s, hippie vibe. You can match it with a cotton cropped jacket, just in case you feel a little cold during the night, and round off with sandals and, of course, the biggest sunglasses you own.

Office summer looks

Office looks in summer can be difficult because you want to look professional, but you also want to be adequate to the temperatures and the occasional after-work outings. In this case, you can go with lightweight cotton trousers and a cotton blouse: this combo will keep you fresh all day, and is handy but also formal enough for the office. You can complete the look with loafers and a big tote bag.

Summer night looks

For summer nights, you can still use black and match it with brighter colours: the look we suggest comprises a very feminine floral skirt and a red top to match the skirt’s print. The ideal finishing touch for the look are elegant accessories like heeled sandals and a small bag.

We know you’re wondering what trendy girls are wearing this summer; luckily, we have the answer.
We chose to match the broderie anglaise top with linen shorts, a must-have for the warmest season. Complete this apparently simple outfit with golden flat shoes and a colourful mini bag, and you’re all set. Is there anything trendier?
