I like to call this outfit type "The Row effect" since it all started when Kendall Jenner wore the same ensemble in head-to-toe, The Row and others followed suit. All you need is a white button-down, a T-shirt, and beige trousers.

Lighter materials are always the way to go in the summer. My favorite outfit formula is a lightweight button-down, a tank or tee, and printed pants.

I've been seeing L.A. girls pair their shorts sets with bikinis and NYC girls wear them out and about with crisp tanks and black accessories. Choose your fighter.

Jorts season is among us whether you like it or not. Pair them with an easy tank top and strappy sandals.

If there's a dress you're going to buy for the summer, an airy white one should be your number one pick. It's versatile and lightweight, and you'll be wearing it for years to come.

Slip dresses truly never go out of style. For a daytime look, pair one with your comfiest white sneaks. You can always add on a blazer and switch to heels for a nighttime transition.

When June rolls around, I immediately pull out my frilly white blouses. Style yours with a pair of crisp shorts or trousers.

What's one way to bring the fun into summer? A statement dress. It's hard to walk into a store and not be bombarded with bright colors and prints. Pair it with coordinating accessories like Jasmine or opt for neutral tones to contrast.

Suit sets aren't just for the fall. Opt for lighter materials like cotton and linen to satisfy your need for structured suiting.
