When temps soar above 90 degrees, it’s hard to think, period. Let alone decide on a carefully curated outfit. We did the heavy lifting for you with these six no-fail ensembles to get you through summer…in Insta-ready style.
6 Super-Photogenic Summer Outfits (That Are So Easy to Copy)
Striped Jumpsuit + Flat Sandals
Everybody knows that vertical stripes make you look taller, even without heels. Take it one step further like Coterie member Alyssa Amoroso, and look for a breezy jumpsuit that shows a hint of leg.
Get the Look: Club Monaco jumpsuit ($248); Sole Society sandals ($80)
Midi Skirt + T-shirt + Pointed Toe Booties
An A-line midi nips your waist at its smallest point and helps to create an hourglass figure (even if you’re straight and narrow). Meanwhile, heeled pointed-toe booties give the illusion of a long line from waist to foot, and add extra height. Top it off with a casual tee that will stay airy on hot days (and hide any errant sweat stains).

Poplin Blouse + Denim Skirt + Strappy Pumps
Poplin photographs well because it’s super structured like wool or felt, but way more summer appropriate. (It’s actually just starchy cotton.) A dark denim mini ups the cool factor—just strap into some fierce minimalist pumps and you might even be able wear it to the office.

Off-the-shoulder Dress + Peep-toe Flats
Baring your shoulders isn’t just slimming; it also helps to break up busy patterns. A floral print midi dress is the epitome of summer, while peep-toe flats are an unexpected departure from your everyday sandals. Toss on some oversize shades for profile picture-perfection.

Culotte Jumpsuit + Heeled Sandals
If you’re ever stuck on what to wear, turn to Coterie member Barbie Conga who proves a culotte jumpsuit is always a winner. The slightly cropped fit bares a little ankle, which makes your legs look slim, even with the added volume. Pop on a pair of bold heeled sandals to add a few more inches and leave your arms bare to further offset the billowiness.
