Summer Outfit Styling Guide: Our Favorite Looks of the Season
Summer Style, Simplified
Summer dressing should feel easy, breezy, and completely you. This season at Vintage Willows, we're obsessed with a few key pieces that do all the heavy lifting — whether you're headed to a rooftop dinner, a weekend farmers market, or a lazy afternoon on the patio.
Here are three of our favorite summer looks, each built around a bestseller you'll reach for again and again.
Look 1: The Effortless Evening — Satin Cowl Neck Dress
There's nothing quite like a satin slip dress for summer evenings. Our Satin Cowl Neck Dress is the kind of piece that looks like you tried without trying at all. Pair it with strappy sandals and a delicate gold necklace for a dinner-ready look, or layer a denim jacket over it for cooler nights on the patio.
Style tip: Tuck a small crossbody bag under your arm to keep the silhouette sleek.
Look 2: The Weekend Wanderer — Smocked Waist Wide-Leg Pants
Wide-leg pants are having a major moment, and our Smocked Waist Wide-Leg Pants are proof that comfort and style are not mutually exclusive. The smocked waistband means they fit beautifully without a belt, and the wide leg creates an instantly polished silhouette. Pair with a fitted tank and mules for a look that works from the farmers market to a casual lunch date.
Style tip: Tuck in your top just at the front to define your waist and show off that gorgeous smocking detail.
Look 3: The Layering Hero — Peyton Button Cardigan
Colorado summers mean warm days and cool evenings — which is exactly why the Peyton Button Cardigan is a summer essential, not just a fall one. Throw it over a sundress when the mountain breeze kicks in, or style it open over a bralette and high-waisted shorts for a boho-chic daytime look.
Style tip: Roll the sleeves up slightly for a relaxed, lived-in feel.
