Summer Outfit Ideas to Inspire Your Styling

From modern utility to artisan-inspired textures, this summer’s looks are all about balancing comfort with character. Below, we’ve styled up some of our favourite trend-led outfits using pieces from the Eighty Seven summer rail—designed to take you from city brunches to countryside strolls, and everything in between.

1. Everyday Utility

Think modern cargo styling, relaxed fits and laid-back neutrals.

Why we love it: Casual but never basic. The relaxed cargo trousers are a soft take on the utilitarian trend, and the eye motif adds just enough edge.

2. Artisan Touches

Tactile fabrics and crafted finishes give summer staples that elevated, boutique feel.

Lie Shorts in OlivePatterned Tie-Waist Vest / Natural Stripe Jute Bag / Khaki Velcro Sandals / Jonc Torsade 3 bracelet / IZIPIZI Sunglasses

Why we love it: It's the kind of set you'd wear on repeat—natural fabrics, easy styling, and just enough detail to feel dressed.

3. Gingham Revival

Sweet, statement, and summer through and through. Gingham is back.

Gingham Tie Strap Top (sold out) / White Summer Jeans / Red Check Tote / Gold Fan Drop Earrings / Perfume / Metallic Silver Sandals

Why we love it: It feels playful but polished. The red check is a fresh twist on classic picnic dressing.

4. Striped Simplicity

Stripes are a summer go-to. This year, they’re clean, minimal and quietly confident.

White & Grey Stripe Tee / Straight-Leg Mid Wash Jeans / Lilac Nylon Belt Bag / Corduroy Pouch / Colourblock Trainers /

Why we love it: Light, bright and no effort required. The kind of look that just works.

5. Monochrome & Maxi

Black doesn’t take a break for summer—it just gets lighter. Think flowy shapes and soft layers.

Black Sleeveless Maxi Dress (sold out) / Tortoiseshell Sunglasses / Black & Ecru Floral Quilted Jacket / Black Chunky Sandals / Pearl Drop Earrings

Why we love it: It’s laid-back luxury. The floral quilting softens the monochrome palette, and it’s just right for cooler evenings.

6. Soft Statements

Subtle prints, flowing fabrics and throw-on ease make this look a high-summer hero.

Charcoal Floral Cami Maxi Dress / Black Chunky Sandals / Lilac Round Sunnies / Tote Bag / Blue Apatite Earrings

Why we love it: Floaty but not too fussy. This is a dress-up-or-down piece you’ll reach for all summer.
