10 Neutral Outfit Ideas for Summer

May 20, 2024

1. Eyelet Blouse and Pull-On Shorts

Make a simple pair of pull-on shorts look more elegant by adding an eyelet blouse. The other day I was able to find my perfect pair of neutral linen pull-on shorts at Kohl’s. Linen shorts are definitely a summer must-have! You don’t have to spend a lot on a pair when Kohl’s has them on sale for $20.

2. Suit Vest and Wrap Skort

One of the hottest trends for summer 2024 is a suit vest. You can see how I styled this white suit vest 6 different ways in this blog post. This outfit is something I plan on repeating often this summer! I like the idea of wearing a menswear-inspired suit vest with a feminine skort.

3. Tube Top and Maxi Skirt

We are seeing a resurgence of tube top styles for summer 2024. I found an affordable white ruched tube top at Target and paired it with a neutral maxi skirt from Abercrombie.

4. Tweed Mini Dress

How perfect does this tweed mini dress look for the office? Another neutral outfit idea for dressy occasions! I am loving the quality to this gorgeous preppy dress as its an Amazon look for less! The dress fits true to size and it’s also not too short on me. I think you can definitely wear this tweed mini dress to the office or out for a lunch meeting and feel so chic in it.

5. Striped Matching Set

These striped linen pull-on shorts at Target are a staple in my wardrobe. Once I knew I liked the shorts I ended up getting the matching button-down for a complete matching set.

6. Cream Crop Top and Striped Trousers

These Target striped linen trousers are a summer staple. I included a pair of striped linen trousers in my recent summer capsule wardrobe post seen here. You can style them with a cream top, bodysuit, or button-down shirt.

7. Eyelet Crop Top and Maxi Skirt Set

I am still so happy this set is in stock and available to shop at Target. The eyelet cutout details on the crop top and skirt are so feminine and dainty! The bright white also looks crisp for summer events. If you are a bride to be this year I would totally consider grabbing one of these pieces or wear them together for a bridal event!

8. Suit Vest and Maxi Skirt

Here I have another summer outfit idea that includes how to style a suit vest. The suit vest I have on was the first one I purchased from Old Navy to try out this summer trend. Now I am so glad I picked up this neutral linen suit vest because I can keep it in my summer wardrobe as a go-to top! I am wearing it with a super feminine champagne satin slip skirt for this chic summer look. White my exact Old Navy suit vest is sold out, you can get the same look on Amazon.

9. Pullover and Lounge Shorts

These two items together create a neutral lounge look for traveling. The cream pullover looks like Lululemon, too. You can get the look for less at Target. I’m pairing the cream pullover sweatshirt with tan lounge shorts that have the same buttery soft feel. Finish off this casual lounge look with a pair of neutral sneakers like the Hokas I have on here. These are by far my FAVORITE sneakers that I’ve ever purchased as I wear them almost daily.

10. Ruched Wrap Top + Wrap Skort

These are two of my favorite recent purchases this spring and I am so excited to style them for summer! The white ruched top from Abercrombie goes with so much which is another reason why I included it in my Summer Capsule Blog post.
