Weekend Party Style Inspiration

We love to party all year round (who wouldn’t?), but there’s something special about summertime fiestas. The sun, the delicious food, not having to worry about homework—whatever it is, we’re getting totally psyched about all our summer get-togethers—style-wise. Whatever kind of party you’re hitting, whether it’s the beach, a BBQ, family reunion, or rooftop, we’ve got you covered with street style outfit inspiration.

Beach/Pool Party

There couldn’t be a more quintessential summer shindig than the pool or beach party, and they’re the perfect opportunity to work your favorite bathing suit into your outfit! Wear a button-up shirt open and tied at the waist with shorts to show off your fave bikini, or try a cropped cardigan as a unique cover-up over a one-piece. A loose dress and floppy hat will keep you cool and pretty in the sunny weather. Just ditch the top layer, and you’re ready to jump in!

BBQ-in’ Backyard Cookout

Summer’s the time when we ditch the kitchen and head outside for some grill-tastic cookouts. Keep these casual but cute in the latest trends- crop tops, denim on denim, and white minis- like these girls while munching on some watermelon and corn-on-the-cob. Just try to keep the BBQ sauce on the food and off your clothes!

Family Reunion

When everyone’s in town, all eyes are on you. Dressing appropriately while still remaining as chic as ever comes in many lengths, colors, and proportions. Try balancing miniskirts with light pullovers, spice up a maxi dress with prints, or get loud with colors in an otherwise formal attire.

Rooftop Party Keep cool and glam with your friends as you make a fashionably late entrance to a classy rooftop party. You’ve got to look your best—who know who you’ll meet! Play with polka dots and floral for a fun ensemble no one will forget, or go for an all-black hardcore look—à la Kate Lanphear.
