When it comes to going out in the summer, most of us do not have much time for experiments. We need comfortable, breezy, and quick outfits that can take us from sightseeing to dinner and drinks with friends.

If you need inspiration for your summer outfits this year, I'm here with some cool ideas.

I bring you my 5 favorite summer outfits that kept me cool in the scorching heat and also looked good while exploring new destinations during my summer vacation. You can mix and match them depending on your personal preferences.

So let's get started.

Outfit #1

The first outfit on my list is this gorgeous cutout H&M black shirt. I paired it with Levi's high-waist straight-leg jeans and Marc Fisher's yellow-heeled sandals. This outfit is perfect for casual summer dinners. The black top keeps it sleek, and the flared jeans add a touch of fun to the look.

This black cutout top is the most versatile piece, and it is why I took it with me on my summer vacation. You can style it with a variety of bottoms, including high waist jeans, palazzo pants, and shorts. No matter what you wear it with, you will rock your OOTD post!

The yellow flax sandals go perfectly with this black and denim blue outfit and add just the right amount of color. They are a great pair of shoes to complete this casual summer outfit. They are also super comfortable, which is important when you're walking around all day.

Comfort is not the only reason I love these sandals so much. You can see these shoes look notably stylish and can be worn with any casual outfit. So, you don't have to sacrifice style for comfort this summer.

I let my hair open in soft waves to complete this look. This is such an effortless and comfortable summer hairstyle, yet it looks put together.

Outfit #2

Number two on my list is this Saffron-colored tulle mini dress, which I styled with gold metallic Terra Strappy Sandals and a matching gold metallic wallet with crystal buckle. The mini dress and sandals are from Nordstrom, while I got the gorgeous wallet from Jimmy Choo. This outfit was perfect for my summer vacation, as the tulle fabric kept me cool, and the gold accessories added a touch of luxury.

This outfit is an excellent choice for exploring new cities or going on beach walks. As I said, the fabric is lightweight and breathable, so it keeps you cool even in the hottest weather. The silhouette of the dress is really flattering, and it is perfect to pair with a pair of wedges or sandals.

Let me tell you about the chic sandals that I wore with this dress. They were so comfortable that I was able to walk around all day without having to worry about my feet. The heels are the perfect height, and they add just the right amount of glamor to this summer outfit.

I was amazed at how many compliments I received on this outfit, and it really made me feel confident and beautiful. If you're looking for an outfit that will turn heads and make you feel great, you should definitely try something like this.

Outfit #3

Next on my list is an outfit that I wore on a cooler day. I paired a hot pink floral print slip dress from Nasty Gal with a light beige oversized jacket from H&M. I love how the colors pop against each other.

The hot pink floral cami slip dress is a perfect summer piece. It is extremely comfortable and durable and can be worn for long hours. It can be worn with sandals or even a pair of casual sneakers.

To complete the look, I added a lilac Danria slip-on heeled sandal from Marc Fisher and a white hourglass wallet on the chain. I got this cute wallet from Balenciaga.

What I love about this outfit is that it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. The jacket makes it perfect for a day out exploring, while the heels would be great for dinner or drinks.

I wore the jacket right before the evening began to cool down, and I got so many compliments on it. It's definitely one of my new favorite pieces!

If you notice, I am wearing a pretty brooch on the lapel of my jacket. It's a little something that I like to do to add a personal touch to my outfit. It also shows that you don't have to spend a lot of money on accessories to look great.

Outfit #4

This is my favorite outfit of my vacation. I wore a black Pleated Side Cutout Maxi Dress from Express. The dress was flowy and comfortable but also had a sexy side with the cutouts. I paired it with some black nude block heel sandals from Nordstrom and a Le Pliage Paris Saint-Tropez Bucket Bag in black. This outfit make me feel confident and stylish and got so many compliments!

I love how the black dress looks against my skin, and the heels add just the right amount of height. The bag is the perfect size for carrying all my essentials, and I love the pop of color it adds to the outfit.

For my hair, I decided to wear it down in loose waves. I didn't want to have to worry about my hair during my vacation, so this was a perfect style. It also looked really nice with the dress and added a touch of glamor.

Charlotte cuffs were the perfect finishing touch to this outfit. They added a bit of edge and helped to show off my summer tan.

Outfit #5

Number five on my list is this iced-mango shimmer chiffon cutout maxi dress from Nordstrom. It's perfect for a summer day, whether you're attending a wedding or just going out to brunch with your girlfriends. The ruffles and cutouts add a touch of femininity, while the ribbon belt cinches your waist for a flattering silhouette. I paired mine with Terra Strappy gold-metallic sandals from Nordstrom and a Jimmy Choo gold clutch. You could also dress it down with some flat slides and a straw tote while going on a summer outing.

To accessorize, I wore silver-golden cuffs. They are one of my favorite accessories this summer because they can be worn with both casual and dressy looks. You can clearly see how they are enhancing the mango dress.

Lastly, I tie my hair in a ponytail to keep me feeling cool all day long. I side-swept my bangs for a more polished look. And that's it! A summer outfit that is both comfortable and chic!
