Summer is a time to celebrate with friends and family. There are always barbecues, birthday parties, outdoor get togethers and more to attend. Sometimes, it can be difficult to decide what to wear to which type of party. It’s always fun to plan summer outfits that are both fashionable and functional for the type of party you’re attending. This post will walk you through some fun summer outfits and accessories options. The looks are all different, but I reused the accessories a lot, so you can envision how many different outfits they can be used for! Many have plus size options and all these looks can easily be pinned to your Pinterest. Check it out!

Summer Outfits For a Brunch Party
Ah the classic brunch party! I have been to two types: the type where you go out to a restaurant and drink mimosas on a cute patio, and the type where you show up to someone’s house with a bag of mini donuts, in your pajamas. Both are great! There are two summer outfits I put together above and it’s a more dressy, but still casual and then, on the right, a very casual brunch.
For the first look is a fun two piece set. It comes in a bunch of color options! I love it paired with the cute sneakers and sunglasses. Gotta have a hat, of course! And then the purse looks so chic and cute, but also informal too. You can dress it up or down. Finished it off by picking out some super fun wood earrings!

For the second outfit, I did a more casual workout type outfit. You could wear it to yoga, then head straight to brunch! The listing on Amazon also shows the shirt tied up, if you like it more cropped. The hat is super adorable. There are openings in the back for a high to low ponytail. And, I am not kidding, there are so many designs and colors available for the hat. The same sneakers are featured in this look, but colorful sunglasses and a new purse and necklace! All pieces are very versatile too!

For a BBQ or Outdoor Party
Whether it’s a fun BBQ, a backyard party or an outdoor picnic meetup, these outfits are perfect for your time outdoors. We’ve got a short and tee look, a more formal tank and pants and finally, the all time favorite jumper!
The first look is perfect for a BBQ. It’s casual, comfortable, but still fun. It’s a star print tee (although there are tons of patterns and colors available). Then it’s paired with some distressed shorts and a cute wedge sandal. Gotta have the hat and sunglasses of course. All about protection from the sun (in a fashionable way!) Finally, there’s the brown and woven purse. It’s the same purse as the white one above, but the brown feels more casual.

In the middle, there’s an outfit for a backyard party. Since I did this look with a jegging, a backyard party is perfect because there would be some shade available, or just pair the top with a cute pair of shorts. I love the sandals. They are very cute and stylish. I love the reflective sunglasses paired with this outfit, and of course, the hat!

Finally, the third look features a super cute jumpsuit. It has tons of great reviews also! And, it has sizes ranging from S to 3XL, so lots of choices! I paired this with darker sunglasses, the age-old hat, the wood earrings and the brown purse.

Summer Outfits For a Pool or Beach Party
This set of looks is perfect for a pool or beach party. They range from casual to fancier! I’ve got two looks with a swimsuit and cover-up. Then the middle look has a chic body con dress and fun colorful sandals. There are some new accessories in these looks too! (Just to keep it interesting!)
The first look is a swimsuit with coverup. This swimsuit comes in plus sizes from 18 to 24. It’s got a super cute pattern on top and has other styles/colors available too. The cover up is gorgeous, has great reviews, and of course, many color options! The sandals are the fancier ones featured before. I found these super cute bangles that are black, white and bring in the gold details from the sandals. Reflective sunglasses and the white and woven purse finish off this look.

The second look is a body con dress. You guessed it, there are tons of color options! I did love this color fade though. It looks like a sunset! Very beachy. I paired it with the fun red sandals and colorful sunglasses. Then finished off the look with a fun round woven purse and the boho style earrings set.

The third look features another swimsuit. This look is casual with just the swimsuit and coverup. I love the style of the swimsuit and it has a few different color options. The coverup also has other designs, but I like adding a pop of color. I found some cute sandals to add to the look and paired it with the hat and the round woven purse!

For a Garden Party
We all love a fancy girly party in summer! These looks are perfect for one of those: a garden party, a fun girl’s night, whatever it may be! These looks are a little more girly and flirty. The accessories are very close to each other, so easy to interchange between the looks.
The first look features a fun solid print-less dress. It has a sweet silhouette and pairs nicely with the sandals that have a pop of the same color as the dress. I love the hat and wood earrings with this look. And, need to have a purse to carry the essentials!

The second look is more formal. The dress is very frilly and comes in many different patterns. I picked this one because it pairs well with the brown and woven purse. The wood earrings go well and the long chain necklace is perfect for this neckline. The sandals are similar to the first look, but a different color. Instead of a hat, went with sunglasses on this one to keep it simple.

Summer Outfits For a Girl’s Day/Night Party or Casual Party
These outfits are for a perfect casual party. Whether it’s girls night, a casual get together, or a day party, these looks will work! From cute kimono style wraps to a summer dress, these looks run across many styles. You can use a lot of the accessories from the previous looks to round out the total style.
For the first look, this is perfect for a casual party. It features a kimono style wrap (that has tons of patterns available) and some stretchy jeggings. I paired it with sneakers and the white woven purse. Finished off with the modern wood earrings and sunglasses, this look is complete!

The second look is a cute sundress. Multiple patterns are available. I like this one for it’s pop of red. I paired it with the boho earrings and the round woven purse. Sunglasses and the strappy red sandals finish off this look!

The final look is a bit more formal. It features a cold shoulder style top and the dark jeggings. The top has multiple color and size options, of course. The black, white and gold bangles pair well along with the fancier sandal and the white woven purse!

Wrap Up
Overall, fashion should be an expression of your own style! But, sometimes it helps to have a starting place! I love these summer outfits for parties and I also love the fact that you can use the accessories in multiple looks. It’s about creating a collection of pieces that can be used in many ways, because, let’s be honest, a girl’s gotta save some money! Anyways, hope it helps!
