Summer party season is in full swing. From poolside get-togethers and backyard barbeques to park picnics and rooftop cocktails, sun-filled days and moonlit nights inspire warm-weather celebrations of every kind. As invites land in your inbox, we’d like to help you conquer those potential “I have nothing to wear” moments, by giving you a fresh dose of outfit inspiration. We’ve hand-picked five easy breezy looks that’ll make you want to RSVP yes to any event.
1. Poolside Party
The key to poolside dressing is finding a look that will allow you to transition from cocktails and mingling to lounging and swimming with ease. With a sleek one-piece swimsuit at the base and shorts or a sarong on top, you can easily shift from pool to party and back again without too much fuss.

2. Backyard Barbeque
Whether you’re working the grill or basking in the company of family and friends, you can’t go wrong with a Bardot neckline and a simple silhouette. A soft and breathable fabric, such as Tencel, will allow you to strike the perfect balance between comfy and chic.

3. Park Picnic
Long story short, there’s no better way to enjoy an afternoon under the sun than with a good old-fashioned picnic. A carefree romper will give you maximum style with minimum effort, so you can focus your attention on which wines go best with your charcuterie.
