From Paris to London: The Summer Outfit Combinations That Fashion Enthusiasts Are Excited About Right Now
As someone who dresses minimally, I appreciate having outfit formulas to rely on when getting ready. This spring, one of my go-to looks was pairing capris with kitten heels or ballet flats. Now that summer has arrived, I'm using the same strategy. Living in New York City really reinforces my love for a streamlined wardrobe. The high temperatures of summer and the frigid cold of winter make it difficult to come up with new outfits every day. When the heat is overwhelming or the cold is biting, having dependable combinations simplifies the decision-making process while still allowing me to look polished.
I always find inspiration in how others style their clothing, as it reveals new ways to wear items I already have. I have a particular fondness for the subtle styles seen in Paris and London. Below are five summer outfit formulas that have caught my eye this season.
**Sleep Dress + Jelly Flats + Colorful Bag**
Combining two of summer 2026's major trends: a sleep dress with jelly flats. I also have this same nylon bag from the Parisian brand Kabas in a different color, making it easy to recreate.
**Lace and Pintuck Nightgown**
**Jelly Flats**
**Drapey Full-length Dress + Kitten-Heel Sandals**
When unsure of what to wear, a long dress with kitten-heel sandals is always a great choice for summer.
**Jersey Kimono Dress**
**Strapless Dress + Woven Flats**
Stephanie Broek showcases a complete St. Agni ensemble featuring a strapless dress and woven flats.
**Sabeen Tube Midi Dress**
**Woven Ballerina Flat**
**T-Shirt + Jean Shorts + Kitten Heels + Boat and Tote**
An L.L.Bean Boat and Tote is a timeless classic. Paired with jean shorts and a white T-shirt, the simplicity of the outfit is elevated by the kitten heels.
**Boyfriend Jersey Classic-Fit T-Shirt**
**Mini Boat and Tote**
**Tank Top + Knee-Length Skirt + Flip-Flops**
Knee-length skirts are another reliable choice that I've been wearing frequently this summer.
**Hillie Organic Cotton-Jersey Tank Top**
**Jelly Sandals**
