Don't overthink summer style. The best looks come naturally when you focus on sunny days and long evenings, not on your clothes. Start with your summer staples—a reliable sundress, well-worn denim shorts, a breezy linen shirt—then add personality with stripes, florals, or a pop of red. Inspiration from Jane Birkin's undone simplicity and Kate Moss's 90s minimalism proves that great style doesn't need to be complicated or expensive.
