There's nothing sweeter than the marriage between a girlie ruffle and a sleek and sexy cold-shoulder look. After choosing a statement top that meets this criteria, balance your look with a pair of plain and versatile white bottoms. To round out your ensemble with Summer-ready accessories, channel beach vibes with the bright colors and fun textures you'd find on any relaxing tropical vacation.

For this look, keep it fresh and clean with light wash denim (this pinstripe top is our pick) and an easy white tee. To add a splash of color and flair, punch up your outfit with embellished shoes in a style you're loving, like slides or espadrilles. Finally, pop on your favorite mirrored frames, sip a Summer drink, and get to posing for that winning photo.
