10 Uncomplicated Summer Outfits I’d Like to Copy and Paste From Instagram

We’ve somehow found ourselves in summer. How did that happen? We already have one very early heatwave behind us, and with temperatures set to rise again in the coming weeks, you might be in need of some fresh outfit inspiration. I know I am, so I took to Instagram to brush up on what my most trusted influencers have been wearing lately.

During this specific scrolling session, I was on the lookout for uncomplicated formulas that would come together in a matter of minutes, and make me feel incredibly chic. It might sound like a tall order, but these fashion people have tens of thousands of followers for a reason: They know how to assemble a great outfit. In no time at all, my saved folder was full of easy-to-replicate summer looks featuring breezy dresses, understated waistcoats and quiet-luxury sandals.

You can probably copy the following ten ensembles using items already in your wardrobe. But if not, I’ve linked the simple styles you’ll need to achieve the looks below. Check them out now, thank me later.

1. Silk Top + Tailored Trousers + Sliders
