Late summer outfit idea 🖤

#hellolemon8

My favorite is to style oversized graphic tees as dresses while wearing biker shorts!

Here I am wearing my Smosh shirt with a corset belt and Nike biker shorts. I am wearing thrifted red Justin boots. This outfit is perfect for hot or cooler summer weather!

... Read moreOkay, so you've seen my go-to late summer look with the oversized graphic tee and biker shorts – but let me tell you why this combo is an absolute game-changer and how you can make it your own! First off, comfort is key. When it's still warm out but you're starting to feel those first hints of fall, you want something breezy yet stylish. An oversized graphic tee worn as a dress with biker shorts underneath perfectly nails that balance. It’s like wearing pajamas but looking effortlessly chic! I often get asked how to pick the perfect oversized tee for this look. My advice? Go for something at least 2-3 sizes larger than your usual. You want it long enough to cover your bum, but not so long it swamps you. Think about the graphic too – sometimes a subtle band tee or a cool abstract design can elevate the whole vibe. I love how a black graphic tee can instantly make an outfit feel edgier. Now, let's talk *biker shorts*. The black biker shorts I wear are a staple, but don't be afraid to experiment with different colors or even ribbed textures! The key is a comfortable, high-waisted pair that provides a smooth silhouette under your tee. Length matters too – I find a mid-thigh length works best for most body types and offers enough coverage. If you’re worried about them riding up, look for pairs with a good amount of spandex. And for accessories? While a black corset belt instantly cinches the waist and adds a touch of sophistication, you can totally switch it up! For a super casual vibe, skip the belt and throw on some chunky sneakers. If you want to dress it up a bit, ankle boots (like my *dark boots*) or even some heeled sandals can transform the look. Don't forget a cute cross-body bag and some layered necklaces to complete your aesthetic. Sunglasses are always a good idea for nailing that 'cool girl' vibe. This outfit is incredibly versatile. Heading to a casual brunch? Sneakers and a denim jacket. Going out for a relaxed evening? Boots, a statement belt, and maybe a blazer draped over your shoulders. It truly adapts to your day. Plus, it's a fantastic way to extend the life of your favorite summer tees into the cooler months simply by adding layers. I've even worn mine with sheer tights and a long cardigan when the weather really starts to drop! It's all about playing with proportions and textures. Give it a try, you might just find your new favorite transitional outfit for any occasion!

Looking for a sophisticated outfit that will keep you feeling cool and confident? Here’s an outfit for you. To create an outfit, always make sure you’re adding different kinds of fabric— a satin long sleeve top and a tweed mini skirt. Love pairing beige and cream color when it comes to my outfit.
