Tops
Elevated basics like this top are so necessary for dressing modest in the summer. I prefer tops that have a wide sleeve or looser shoulder to help with sweating and heat in the summer. This is a thicker top that isnt see through too.
long sleeve corset waist long sleeve in white
Elevated basic with the tie/chined waist detail that gives some interest and shape but still loose enough to help with the heat
tie waist detailing long sleeve top in black
I really like these boxy but oversized t-shirts, I wear sleeves underneath to cover my arms but still only wearing one layer and keeps you cool. You can add different color and material with the sleeves to give your outfit some intrigue
boxy short sleeve t-shirt in white
The baseball tee really dresses this down making it casual but the cinched waist still makes it feminine and cute
3/4 blue baseball tee with cinched waist
Button ups are the modest outfit uniform in the summer, so I love when I find some that are elevated
Striped shirt with scarf
Another elevated button up basic that can be added to the summer top rotation
Wrap shirt with bow
I actually like cropped/boxy tops in the summer because they pair best with wide legged pants and skirts which are the most common bottoms for me.
Striped crop top with strass
Dresses
A maxi short sleeve dress is a summer staple. I add sleeves underneath and or a light sweater if its night time and good to go. You can also add a belt to dress it up a bit.
modal t-shirt dress in brown
I loveee the color combo here. Its long sleeve and maxi with no slits, so perfect for modest wear. I like the bodice because if gives the dress structure
Glamorous dropped waist shirred bodice maxi dress in brown blue stripes
Super elegant dress for a dinner or event in the summer. Can be worn in transition seasons too with boots
Flared-sleeve satin dress
Skirts
A good staple maxi skirt with no slits. This one is a lighter material and doesn't cling to you. I love that it has pockets and personally, brown is heavily in my color rotation in the summer
A-line maxi skirt in chocolate
This comes in a couple different patterns which I love because a colorful/patterned skirt is so easy to throw on with one of the elevated basic long sleeves I have pinned and you have yourself a gorgeous chic summer outfit that is still comfortable a...
chiffon maxi skirt in abstract zebra
White is mandatory for a summer wardrobe, this one has faint stripes which add dimension but don't prevent you from wearing any top with the skirt. I love A-line skirts because they add shape and dimension when summer outfits are usually just straigh...
Striped cotton A-line skirt
This comes with a super fun wrap around detail. This style is trendy right now and this comes with it built in. If you wanted to add even more dimension you can layer it with a textured wrap
A-line skirt with scarf detail
This skirt screams summer beach vacation. so much shape and fun, really makes the outfit all on its own and can be paired with a super simple top.
Ruffled skirt with bow
I reallyyyy love finding skirts that are layered with asymmetrical hems that are not just basic tiered skirts but they are usually midi skirts or have a slit, this one is maxi and just beautiful
Ruffled chiffon skirt
Pants
Superrrrr light weight and comfortable. For a more dressed down or casual look these replace jeans for warmer days and almost feel like nothing. Pair it with a cinched waist top, boxy tee, or graphic t-shirt and and its a fool proof all summer
balloon leg pant in khaki
Satin is the sexier sister of linen pants in the summer, they dress up an outfit but are super comfy and breathable
Satin straight-fit pants
Grey pinstripes pants are so versatile and easy to style. I like this pair because they are balloon/super baggy shape which automatically makes them more casual then a normal pinstripe trousers. The color combos with grey pinstripe are endless, yello...
Pinstripe balloon trousers
This is for everyone like me who wear jeans everyday, these wide legged options let you wear jeans in the summer when its too hot to wear your normal denim
Wide leg denim trousers
Big fan of super wide legged pants that almost look like a skirt, perfect for days where the outfit calls for a skit but its too windy or you don't feel like wearing one and watching how you sit
High-rise wide leg pants
