Editor-Approved Outfits For Every Summer Occasion

Figuring out what to wear on a normal day is hard enough. But creating an outfit to wear for a special event? Even tougher. While it might be easier to fall back on your usual LBD, there's nothing like a fresh outfit to make you feel ready for a fun-filled season ahead. We asked fashion editors from both coasts to share their ideal ensemble for an exciting Summer occasion. From a romantic outdoor movie night to an afternoon in wine country, see their sartorial selections ahead and get inspired for your next adventure.

Cocktail hour by the beach

Escape town for an evening like our NYC-based assistant editor Samantha, and head to the Hamptons to wine and dine.

"A pair of casual linen pants in a fun striped pattern is the perfect piece for the more relaxed vibe of the Hamptons. To dress them up for a night out, I'd add a pair of lace-up heels and a slinky silk tank."

Outdoor movie night

Take notes from our assistant editor Stephanie and hit up the many outdoor activities your city has to offer this season, like movie nights in the park, food truck festivals, or carnivals.

"In a city like San Francisco or New York, dressing for comfort and versatility are key. Jeans are a must for sitting in the grass, while a loose tank provides easy movement. I always like to add delicate gold jewelry, and I never forget a jacket for when the temperature inevitably drops!"

Hopping on Amtrak for a weekend away

A quick getaway is perfect to recharge. Pack your bags like our director Joanna, and hop on a train for a relaxing weekend spent exploring New England.

"This sweater and trouser combination is ideal for travel since I get chilly everywhere. Throw in a roomy tote and a pair of sleek sneakers and I'm ready for anything!"

Nothing captures the spirit of Summer more than an afternoon spent sipping Rosé. Follow our editor Rebecca's lead and carve out some time to go wine tasting.

"I think it's unexpected to wear a feminine piece with tough leather accents. The delicate romper paired with the rocker boots is the perfect casual combination for spending a beautiful day wine tasting. Don't forget the sunglasses!"
