Casual Summer Outfits for Many Occasions
We live most of our lives in casual clothes, but that’s no reason to set aside the opportunity to look polished and fashionable. For casual outfits for the warm summer months, staying cool and comfortable is a priority. If you are more of a skirt, dress and jeans girl, and generally not a fan of short and capris, this is the blog post for you.
I share plenty of modern outfits for women, like you, in your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, with pants and skirts, plus an outfit combination with a soft, feminine jersey maxi dress.

If you’re anything like my husband and I, we still prioritize having quality a nice dinner out on the town with each other. Putting on a stylish outfit and attempting to look nice not only feels good, but shows that I care about keeping the spark in our relationship alive.
While this outfit is nothing fancy, the simplicity of these pieces are elegant and intentional. I have found that this natural stretch belt is making everything in my summer wardrobe look special. This beige midi skirt with slit offers a feminine touch when paired with this sleeveless chambray shirt and a strand of simple pearls.

Add your personality to any outfit with a statement necklace. This turquoise necklace is simple, yet interesting enough to be memorable. If there’s one thing I always strive to be, and that is memorable.

Make a statement with your accessories! I love the understated, yet very intentional styling of this outfit. The white & turquoise belt is charming and does a fabulous job of elevating this very simple white high neck tank top. Slip on a pair of nude thong sandals, white high neck tank top and a turquoise bracelet to add and understate pop of color and personality to this look.
Double-Wrap Belt
For another fabulous look, consider styling this outfit with this skinny brown leather double wrap belt and turquoise bracelet. It’s fresh and effortless while still looking stylish and fashionable.
What to Wear for a First Date
Perfect for just about any stylish woman, but especially those in the dating world. Effortless and chic, this black turtleneck sleeveless top is ideal if you want to dress to impress.
We all know that first impressions matter, so by dressing conservatively on your first date you are sending the conservative message that “I would like to get to know you,” while showing a bit of skin creates a sense of mystery and allure.
Pairing this sleeveless top with a denim skirt and nude thong sandals is effortless, while also looking polished and sophisticated.
Choose a black narrow belt when styling this outfit to keep the look simple and sophisticated.

If you’re a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl, this outfit will speak to you. Get your feminine vibe on by styling your medium wash denim skirt on with a natural raffia stretch belt, white v-neck t-shirt and nude thong sandals.
Polished and effortless, this look it is perfect for a Saturday or Sunday morning meet-up with friends. Enjoy a casual brunch at your favorite hometown destination with your peeps looking stylish!

If you are wondering what to wear to a hometown festival near you, consider slipping on your favorite jersey-knit black maxi dress which you can wear styled up with a statement necklace to add the perfect amount of style and personality. Super cute, elegant and very slenderizing, the silhouette of this maxi dress is both slimming and elegant.
What to Wear to a Farmers Market
To switching it up and make it look a bit more daytime appropriate, consider slipping on your black maxi dress with a blue denim vest as you get ready to head to your local farmer’s market. Talking about “having the look?”
You’ll have it all dialed in and rockin’ it with your style statement, when everyone else is waking up and still working through their first cup of coffee. This outfit is all about confidence and personality.
Black Pearl Jewelry & Gladiator Sandals
What to Wear to a Casual Dinner Party
Not sure what to wear for that casual garden dinner party you have coming up in a few weeks? How about slipping on your white denim Jacket with a black maxi dress for a chic, very dialed-in look.
Fashionable, and very modern, you can step into the mix feeling beautiful, confident and ready for an amazing night of great conversation, food and wine with your favorite people.
What to Wear for a Concert in the Park
For a concert in the park or another casual community event, consider pairing a black high neck tank top with your light wash jeans.
To add some charm and sophistication, slip on a black pearl necklace and bracelet along with some silver accessories to bring this outfit together.
Freshen Up Your Favorite Purse
If you have beautiful purses that need some freshening up, considering changing out your purse strap.
Recently, I ran across this concept and loved the idea of recycling some of our old, loved purses so we can pull them out and wear them like they are new. Amazon has tons of different purse strap options (gold, silver, pearl, leather, woven, etc), but for this outfit consider pulling out an old black crossbody purse and giving it new life with a replacement black metal purse strap.
What to Wear for a Summer BBQ
One of the most classic, go-to summer outfits that always looks great for a casual outing is a pair of light wash jeans and a white v-neck t-shirt. While slipping on a pair of white Adidas sneakers, always a good look, a pair of pewter gladiator sandals adds personality and charm.
When styling classic wardrobe pieces, the key to elevating an outfit are the accessories you choose to wear. For the ultimate casual outfit, slip on sneakers. For an elevated look, consider pairing your capsule wardrobe pieces with metallic jewelry and accessories.
