Summer Style That Cooks: What to Wear to Your Memorial Day BBQ

One of our favorite things about Summer is being outside and basking in the sun.

One of our favorite things about Summer is being outside and basking in the sun. With the amazing weather and late-night sunsets, there are endless opportunities to do so; beach days, barbecues, and evenings spent enjoying cocktails on the patio are all crucial seasonal experiences and require equally cute, Summer-ready ensembles — and Memorial Day is just the tip of the iceberg. The biggest things to be mindful of when dressing for an outdoor fete are your hemlines (in case you want to sit cross-legged in the grass), your accessories (superlong necklaces can be cumbersome), and your choice of footwear (heels sinking into grass are never a good thing). We're helping you find the perfect fashion formula by styling up three examples of what to wear when you're invited to an outdoor bash. Click through to see and shop them all now.

3 Stylish Ways to Be the Life of the (Pool) Party

Summer is code for a lot of things: beach days, sunny weather, cocktails alfresco, and, of course, pool parties.

Summer is code for a lot of things: beach days, sunny weather, cocktails alfresco, and, of course, pool parties. As for the latter, we've got you covered in the what-to-wear department. The most important things to remember? It's all about keeping your bikini bright, your outfit light, and your accessories even lighter. Forget sky-high heels (you're going swimming, right?), embrace the full spectrum of the color wheel, and make sure to come bearing UV-ray protection (hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, and so on). The rest of this seasonal ensemble equation is up to you. To inspire your pool-party panache, we've styled up three examples of what to wear. Click through to see and shop them all now.

The Dos and Don'ts of Dressing For Your Summer Internship

You may have scored a Summer internship, but the hardest part is just beginning.


You may have scored a Summer internship, but the hardest part is just beginning. Before you start perfecting your coffee-making and folder-filing skills, you need to figure out what you'll be wearing each day. While your overall look may depend on the field you're working in (for instance, dressing up a pair of jeans will probably fly in a fashion environment, but not so much in a law office), it's always encouraged to err on the side of daytime conservative. We've put together the main dos and don'ts to keep in mind while getting dressed for your Summer internship — peep them below.

  • Do remember to keep things professional. Nothing is worse than being the one person in the office that's totally overdressed (or underdressed) for their environment, but you should always verge on the polished side. If you're nervous about making the wrong move, just get the sartorial scoop ahead of time: ask your manager what the overall vibe is and what she wears to the office every day. If you're allowed to wear jeans, stick to flares or a dark-wash skinny pair, or play around with fun printed trousers. Also, don't show up looking entirely different from your interview. If you made a great impression in a tailored blazer, definitely be sure to bring one along with you on your first day (it'll also come in handy when the air conditioner is on full blast).
  • Don't forget that it's still Summer — and that dressing professionally doesn't mean you have to cover every inch of your body in fabric. Pop a chambray button-down or thin crewneck sweater over a floral dress, or tuck a classic white shirt into a printed skirt, then cinch it at the waist with a bright belt — it's a look that still reads office-appropriate, but with a hip, personal touch. If you can't get away with a Summery pair of wedges or pumps, you can always stick to bright ballet flats.
