Beat The Heat in Style with 5 Chic and Affordable Summer Outfits

Temperatures are starting to rise here in Texas (as I write this blog, it’s 95 degrees)! With another HOT summer ahead, I’m refreshing my closet with a few stylish, budget-friendly additions. Using fashion finds under $100, I’ve curated five affordable summer outfits that prove you don’t have to break the bank to look and feel great. At the beginning of each season, I love adding in just a few new pieces to give my wardrobe a fresh twist. These new additions help breathe new life into my favorite staples from summers past while keeping my looks current and chic. While I’ll always love a good splurge, this season I’m especially drawn to affordable summer fashion that is both stylish and heat-friendly. Whether you style these fabulous finds together or separately, these closet additions will help you beat the summer heat in style.

Light in Linen

During the summer months you can truly never go wrong with a linen dress. I love the ease of a one and done dress, especially when it’s a “blank canvas” for my accessories! Raffia is another staple of summer, hence why I’ve paired the dress with fabulous $50 raffia sandals and a versatile clutch. Such a chic look made up of so many great summer staples!

Palm Leaf Chic

Obsessed is an understatement!!! Lately I’ve been loving kaftans! They’re so effortlessly chic, breathable, and beyond comfortable. I am absolutely loving the pattern and style of this kaftan! It’s under $60 and truly THE perfect summer look! Paired with fabulous gold accessories, this is the ideal look for a resort vacation or summer night! Pssst… this shell clutch is $30!!

A True Blue Summer

I just can’t get enough of this crochet top and the matching shorts! I love that these pieces are both under $60 and can be styled together or separately throughout the summer. I’ve used light blue accessories for a soft and breezy summer look. This outfit is perfect on vacation, running errands, or enjoying dinner on a fabulous patio!

Beads & Breeze

Would you believe me if I said this fabulous dress is under $50?! The beaded detail makes for such a chic and elevated summer look while still offering maximum comfort! I’ve paired it with a strappy gold sandal, which will seriously be your new summer staple. This look is sophisticated yet chic, and truly the ideal outfit for summer nights!

Printed Perfection

It’s no secret, I absolutely love a matching set (have to mention my long-time affordable summer fashion find). They’re such an easy and comfortable way to achieve a chic and put-together look. I especially love the bold blue and white pattern of this blouse and the matching pants. You can pair this with a pair of flat sandals for an effortless everyday look, or dress it up with a pair of heels.

Everyday Ease

One of my go-to summer uniforms consists of a graphic tee and denim shorts. As temperatures rise and our summer schedules fill up, comfort is key! Hence why this look is the ideal summer outfit. You can pair it with a pair of raffia ballet flats, a stylish summer sandal, or even sneakers! Breathable and perfect for whatever errands the day might throw at you.
