Get The Look: 10 Classic Summer Style Combinations

Get inspired by these always-in-vogue summer looks …

If we’re talking about classic summer combinations, then a black and white outfit is high on that list. The bubble hem on this skirt speaks to current trends, but a simple A-line skirt would work just as well. 

Whether it’s a sunny day at home, or you’re seeking a poolside look, one combination we’ll never tire of is a broderie anglaise top, a basket bag and denim cut-offs.

At this stage, a cotton-poplin striped shirt and a pair of boxer shorts in the same crisp, material are veritable summer classics.

As for summer dresses, a gathered sweetheart neckline is always a chic go-to.

If you’re looking for a timeless summer buy, add a pair of anti-trend white linen trousers to your shopping list. 

A friendly reminder: you can never go wrong with an old reliable black dress in a flattering shape. (Shop an edit of the best dresses for any occasion here.)

On the topic of dresses, a vintage-look silk slip dress will always conjure a dolce vita kind of feeling. Style it with an open shirt if there’s a chill in the air.

If you’re in doubt about which summer prints to embrace, then look to Vichy checks (so-called after the region in France where the pattern was produced). These gingham prints are a shortcut to a riviera look that is always appealing.

As for trousers, lean into capri pants. This nostalgic style is firmly back in vogue for 2025. See the styles we rate here

Lastly, if in doubt opt for a simple white dress. We love how this one, by Australian label Posse, is imbued with a classic polka dot print.
