Summer is in full swing, and reemergence has made for a very stylish start to summer. As we consider the next events of this season – weddings! travel! social gatherings! – we anticipate many fascinating reasons and occasions to dress up. There’s no disputing the clothing options that warm weather offers, even if you’re less inclined to bask in the sun’s rays.
To get some ideas for summer outfits, we’re drawn to vintage photos that flawlessly combine timeless design with long-lasting appeal and exciting seasonal trends. All these photos feel just as relevant and of the moment now as they did when they were captured.

It isn’t a surprise that some of our favorite looks have the summer wardrobe pairings: a striped tee with a tiered midi-skirt; a breezy maxi dress and lace-up sandals; or a cardigan and jean shorts. They’re quite basic yet still have personality when it comes to summer wardrobe ideas. There are casual, everyday separates that can take you from breakfast to the beach. Consider airy fabrics and loose shapes, exquisitely beaded necklaces, shell necklaces, and finely woven sun hats that you’ll want to reserve now in advance of your August vacation.
