For a picnic in the park

Shorts are a must, obviously. But instead of the usual cutoffs, go for a sophisticated matching set. You can take off the jacket if it gets too warm, then put it back on at night for cocktails.

For a poolside party

It's all about the coverup that doubles as a dress. A printed wrap style is super versatile—it can be worn by itself or over jeans, if you're going out after.

Use the invitation to grill as an excuse to break out that sweet flowy dress and the easy slide sandals. Double down on the summertime accessories by adding a straw tote.

For an engagement party

Easy glamour is the name of the game. A bold, monochromatic dress in that in-between-a-midi-and-a-maxi length will get the job done. Slip into a pair of high-heeled mules, and it's time to hit the dance floor in full force.

For an outdoor concert

These are the best excuse to slip into a romper or playsuit: They're dressier than shorts, but much easier to dance around in than a mini dress.
