Seersucker

\r\n

Think clambakes, walks on the beach, and fresh-squeezed lemonade. Nothing says summer quite like seersucker. The light, gauzy material keeps you cool and is a popular choice for anything from shorts and minis to blazers and blouses. No matter the style, be sure to pair your seersucker with neutral items like a plain white tank to keep the look simple yet sweet.\r\nLike this style?

Dressy Cotton Shorts

\r\n\r\n

For just the right amount of coziness and couture, try dressy cotton shorts while the warm weather lasts. This style has all the comfort of your favorite gym shorts, but the structure and sheen of the fabric makes them more suitable for nightlife than scatter dodgeball. Let them peek out from under a jewel-toned tank and wear nude pumps to make your legs seem longer.\r\nLike this style? Try Forever 21\'s Fab Cotton Short, $10, forever21.com

High-Waist Pencil Skirts

\r\n

This classic style hit new highs this summer and will stay strong even when school starts, especially slim pencil silhouettes. Don\'t have one in your closet? Dig out old skirts that are now too small for your hips and hitch them up to your waist, which is naturally smaller. If you want to grab one from a store, look for light cotton or linen for a special summer touch, and pair with wedges or peep-toe pumps.\r\nLike this style?
