You can take your summer wardrobe up a notch by dressing up with our elegant and flowy tops and dresses. With a few tips, we can show you how to dress up for a first date or style a summer dress for a wedding. Here are 4 tips for styling your summer wardrobe for different occasions.

4 Simple Ways to Elevate Your Summer Outfits

1. Breathable Fabrics

We know how challenging it is to dress up for formal events in the summer. Our tip is to lean into creating a summer vibe instead of fighting it with rigid silhouettes and stiff fabrics especially when choosing a dress.

Pick a dress made out of linen or cotton since these are summer-friendly weaves that are naturally breathable. For outdoor formal events, choose flowy dresses as they won’t cling to your body. This will prevent you from feeling restricted between rounds of summer coolers.

2. Cool Toned Colors

While fabrics play an important role in dictating your body temperature, even the colors you choose to dress up in for summer can affect how you feel. Wearing light colors can help keep you cool through long events since darker fabrics are known to attract heat. Additionally, wearing light pastels will help give your skin a healthy summer glow.

3. Stylish Accessories

If you’re wondering how to dress up your outfits for summer with accessories, the key tip is to make sure you’re choosing functional yet stylish pieces. 

Throw on a cute wide-brimmed hat in a bold color to see how it can instantly dress up your summer dress. You can even elevate your looks with chic oversized sunglasses or dainty crystal earrings that reflect the sunlight in beautiful patterns.

4. Boho Chic Clothes

Whether you’re attending a dinner party, or packing cute outfits for vacation, we can show you how to dress up for summer while channeling a boho chic aesthetic.

While it’s easy to style a flowy dress or a boho romper for casual outings, you can easily elevate them for formal gatherings with softly styled hair and some dainty accessories. 

Throw on your favorite pair of nude heels to dress up your romper for an evening date. A silk scarf can be worn in your hair as a style statement while serving the functional purpose of keeping flyaways out of your face. Finish the look with a bold lip color and a cute purse.

These tips are a great place to start if you’d like to try elevating your summer outfits with small changes. Tag us with your June Adel outfits on Instagram so we can see how you chose to dress up for summer.
