7 Incredibly Chic Summer Outfit Ideas!
A couple of weeks ago, I traveled to the French Riviera for a fun week of relaxing, eating, sightseeing and of course, street style spotting. I always get the best ideas when I’m traveling, and as you might imagine, St. Tropez was full of inspo! The quaint little streets just outside our hotel were filled with super stylish women, and it’s safe to say I took some serious notes on the summer trends we’ll be wearing for the next 8 weeks. The designer shopping was amazing, and it was really exciting to see all the beach-inspired collections. The best part about designer shopping is once you get familiar with the hot items, it’s really easy to spot the more affordable versions!
Today’s post is about 7 incredibly chic summer outfits that you’ll wear all summer long. With warm temperatures everywhere, sometimes it can be tricky to look stylish in the heat. I spotted every one of these outfits below in the South of France, as well as in London and LA. In other words, they work for all of us no matter where we live! Keep reading to see the trends that matter … but remember to make them your own. Happy Summer ☀️
P.S. We’re about to close out the So Susie fashion event, but there are still a few spots left! I’m hosting a “Fall Fashion Kickoff Party” on September 3-5 in my sweet little hometown of McMinnville, which is in the heart of Oregon Wine Country. I would LOVE to meet you all in person, so please join me for a few days of fun and fashion! If you’re on the fence or have questions, please DM me on Instagram 🤍 Details can be found here.

#5 Stylish Swimwear and Coverups
J.Crew striped shirt cover up | One piece swimsuit
If you’re going on vacation, chances are you’ll need a swimsuit! But if you’re like me and hardly go in the pool 😉, then a stylish coverup is a must. All the women I spotted at the fancy South of France beach clubs were wearing longer coverups over their swimsuits, chic sunnies, hats and stylish summer sandals.

This is the year of the skirt, and everyone was wearing them in the South of France. Denim styles and longer midi-styles were the two types I saw the most. If you want to give your wardrobe a little refresh, then add a skirt or two asap!
