With endless barbecues, comes an endless selection of fashionable outfits.

Summer is one of the only seasons where stylish outfits can come with such little effort. It’s all about balance: comfortable, yet stylish. These four classic looks will keep you the best dressed at any party this summer:
The Classic White.
You can’t go wrong with a classic white dress. It is perfect to transition from day to night and can easily be dressed up or down depending on your footwear. Here are some fancy footwork options, here and here. Perfecting the white dress is easy. Simplicity goes a long way. Keep your white dress under the radar, with just a touch of unique accessories and a great pair of sandals; a look that you can create in less than ten minutes.

The Gingham.
No barbecue is complete without some gingham. This isn’t your grandmother’s gingham either. Incorporating the old school pattern in a dress, shorts or scarf will give you the perfect summer look with a modern twist.

The Seersucker.
One of summer’s favorite patterns is seersucker and you can find this classic pattern in a variety of different colors. One of my personal favorites are these cute bow shorts which channel a feminine look without wearing a dress.
The Stratton Seersucker Dress
The Denim.
If you are looking to keep it casual go with distressed denim, which you can dress up or dress down depending on your footwear. A boyfriend fit with a pair of strappy sandals will give you the perfect summer outfit. Recommendation: Ezra Distressed from Revolve
With any of these haute outfits, you are sure to be the most stylish one at the barbecues this summer. Don’t forget to accessorize with simple pieces to achieve an effortlessly summer style look.
