Wear it to: an outdoor wedding

Stripes are back on our fashion radar, as if they ever left. Countless designers put oversize stripes in eye-popping colors in their spring/summer 2017 collections, but narrow, nautical stripes in soft neutrals will always be in style. We especially love the vertical stripes on this culottes-style jumpsuit -- they slim and lengthen the body at the same time.

To dress up a striped summer jumpsuit, add wedge heels or mules, a nice clutch and a blazer thrown over your shoulders. To dress it down, keep accessories to a minimum and slip on some neutral leather slides like these Loeffler Randall babies.

Wear it to: a backyard barbecue

All the fashion-forward gals who rocked crop tops last summer are downsizing to bra tops and bandeaus, the easiest way to look and stay cool this summer. With a midi or maxi skirt, the look is a little tropical, a little bohemian and so, so sexy.

This coordinated bra and midi skirt is too cute for words, but you don't need a matching set to pull off this look. A solid bandeau or bikini top in a statement shade -- we're currently lusting over this cut-out triangle bra top from Asos -- would look adorable with just about any bottom.

Wear it to: lazy hungover Sundays brunch

Don't toss your graphic or slogan t-shirts anytime soon -- they're just as cool as ever, especially if they're a little cheeky. (We're in love with the Rose Tits Tee from blogger Aimee Song's label Two Songs.)

On a lazy, warm day -- especially the morning after a wild night out -- there's no cuter summer outfit than a statement-making t-shirt (roll the sleeves and tuck it in, please) and distressed, high-waist jeans. Add big sunglasses for obvious reasons.

Wear it to: the office

Wondering how to make your work-wear staples feel new this summer? Step up basic pants and skirts with a voluminous blouse. Bell sleeves are super hot, and this style of blouse is a prettier, lighter alternative to your standard long-sleeve button-down. Pairing two bright shades in the same color family (e.g., pink and red) keeps the look seasonally appropriate, too.

Take a cue from the look shown here and balance puffy sleeves with a slim-fitting piece on the bottom. This will keep your summer outfit's proportions from appearing Gaga-esque.
