7 Style Hacks To Always Look Chic and Put Together In Summer

[@amandasmith7314]

Audrey's channel is like asmr but you learn stuff too 😊 She has such a soothing voice.

[@fiorenzadelafuente1062]

Amanda Smith soo true, her voice is so soothing ☺️

[@pepepe8996]

Exactly

[@thatsnotmyname1]

She’s an opera singer? Unbelievable

[@lucymelon8824]

so true!!!

[@janirak.255]

100%!!! She relaxes me!

[@floralaura2543]

I think you’re the only youtuber who I don’t mind saying chic. Just turns me off when others says this is chic that is so chic, but with you I know you are a classy lady not just saying chic to try to sound cool and grab attention

[@susanagonzalezcodina9758]

I wear silk scarves on around my straw hat. doesn't add heat and changes the hat completely. i pair them with my colorfoul shoes.

[@heatherframpton9693]

Yes! 😁

[@dominiquetheeasyminimalist]

I’m just loving the vintage yellow cardigan, white shorts and belt. So summery, stylish, fresh yet elegant.

[@Ana-sj5xx]

I know so many people hate light-coloured summer outfits with black shoes, but I love it. It gives the outfit that tiny bit of edge, especially if the shoes have a block heel or a chunkier design.

[@SM-hn5le]

Hi Audrey! I always wanted to look elegant and put together but it felt impossible with my budget and the options available for petite women in India. I graduated from Business School last year at 25 and I have been following your channel since then. Your videos have helped me move closer to my goal and helped me find my style. I own fewer pieces than before but they are all things that fit my style and wearing them makes me feel great. You are truly an inspiration! :)

[@comealongcomealong4480]

S M: happy to hear you are editing your closet to better meet your style goals (and in your twenties !). It's so great that you've identified a graceful, elegant style as your ideal ... but remember to have some fun 🎪 and play with some trendy pieces while you're young ♥.

[@marialovesmusicalot]

Wow congrats ! And I'm happy you feel inspired by this elegant woman.

[@M_SC]

I don’t know anything about it but saris seem elegant and put together to me.

[@daechwita6212]

@@M_SC yes they are but its hard to wear them everyday and specially if you are working women u cant wear it

[@ParticulaDeTacere]

Instead of the black sandals, I'd personally go with white or brown since my summer wardrobe is mostly made of light colours. Loved the tips, especially how you can integrate trends into your wardrobe without having to change your style. Great tips and relaxing video, as usual! ❤️

[@janeseemann2527]

Same! Black kills colour and my summer wardrobe is colour based.

[@carynginsberg4041]

Ditto, not just because of the clothes, but because of my own coloring. I'm blonde and don't wear black at all. I do have some fun camel-colored block heel sandals that are doing the job that Audrey recommends here. Great video as always!

[@Wee162]

South FL here! I’ve found that many fabrics used in sun protection clothing allow me to cover up from the sun while staying comfortable. Styles like the long sleeve white blouse you’re wear while narrating this video, in this kind of fabric, usually includes discrete vents and has moisture management properties that don’t wilt in humidity. As someone who is very sensitive to sun, these have saved me (and I’ve always been a natural fibers girl). I’m more comfortable covered up in these fabrics than when I’m wearing less coverage and more exposed to the elements. Of course, not all sun protection clothes are attractive, but there are some gems with classic tailoring.

[@lauren2103]

I'm from Australia and I also have sensitivity with the sun! (Very fair with freckles and prone to burning) it's winter now in the southern hemisphere, but this is a good idea for me to prepare some sun smart summer items. Thanks!

[@Diana-er6fi]

The yellow sweater with white shorts outfit is so wonderful!! It’s always great to watch your videos for inspiration! Thx☺️

[@tropicalsunshine4689]

We have missed you. I enjoy wearing light breathable fabrics with a summer trend here and there.

[@reneemarais431]

The white button down shirt with shorts is such a clever outfit idea. Thank you. 😊

[@lianelevy7888]

I find summer to be the easiest time to dress well. The secret is to keep it super simple. A good pair of well fitting shorts paired with a basic sleeveless or short sleeved top, and a nice pair of sandals, avarcas, or espadrilles always looks great. Gold hoops and top knot, and I'm done! The fewer items of clothing I need to choose, the easier it is to keep my look streamlined. It's winter, in which I have to layer and layer, is where it gets hard for me.

[@ah5721]

I love layering , I find looking chic in the summer hard . The trick is to start with a good base layer of a lightweight long sleeve, a quality sweater and a tailored overcoat.

[@lianelevy7888]

@@ah5721 a tailored overcoat is not realistic or possible if you live somewhere with rough winters that are really cold and wet. Same with nice shoes. It's just not doable. I settle for something that looks decent once I get inside. It's also difficult to layer with my body type (petite but very busty), and it's also necessary because of the contrast of the outside and indoor heat blasting.

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

Even Audrey’s trends are classics!! 😂 You can always wear Birkenstock’s around the house for good support even if you don’t want to wear them ‘out’ in a year or two

[@heatherframpton9693]

Yes to scarves! I have A LOT of them from long, skinny especially great for using in my hair or tied on a tote bag all the way through Pashmina and sarong size for a shawl, wrap, etc. 😁❤️

[@comealongcomealong4480]

Great job Audrey ... thank you for taking us on your "Summer Journey" 😎. I got big Isabella Rossellini vibes today from your main (white shirt) look. And I enjoyed your strappy, lacy, black camisole, with white gaucho pant, look - gorgeous. Lots of head nodding here about the sweaty feet factor in hot weather ! - a big consideration in high heat or humid climates.

[@hriverin]

I noticed the changes in your hairstyle and also, the more daring, feminine twist you introduce lately in your personal style and i like i very much. Well thought and well done !

[@mrmotormo]

8:16 is lovely, elegant and flirty at the same time--more for my daughter than me, but just lovely. I also love the toile like print blouse just before. I agree with black sandals! Your shoe sensibilities are amazing and I take your advice keenly. I tend toward all vintage, but updating the shoe really gives vintage a positive contemporary feel--very nice. Love this video!

[@deborahlown4815]

When its hot ..love a maxi dress that skims ( not tight) the body in a linen or cotton blend..dress it up or down...

[@deebabes33]

Yes, dresses are the way to go. The coolest thing to wear.

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

I agree! And you don’t have to worry about shaving 💯

[@maryokeefe5351]

I am normally a fairly classic dresser, except in summer. It is fun to rock some luxe resort chic in the city, such as boho chiffon tops, Indian style dangly earrings and a generally elevated beachy vibe.

[@KN-bs9wb]

I love wearing my flat blush pink sandal. Because it matches my skin tone, It basically disappears and gives the illusion of being barefoot. Any flat sandal matching your skin tone (whatever that may be) creates this casual, carefree style and silhouette.

[@jswjanjan]

Vintage summer dresses! In silk or cotton! Thank you Audrey - you are a sheer delight. 🌟🌞👍

[@navyfarrow5333]

I’ve loved seeing how your style evolves over the years. The white pants/black lacy top outfit is so different from what you used to wear in your earlier vids, but I can totally see the progression over time. Thanks for sharing your style journey w us!

[@anukritisoni331]

At 7:59 your dog 🐕 😍 I wish we could more of your animals, and tips how you care for them. ❤️

[@M_SC]

Squeeee! Great dog

[@guilliannecumberland1397]

This was a good one Audrey. Well done. I can see you put a lot of thought into it. Especially the black sandals and bag and scarf, so easy it almost gets unnoticed. I am in winter so will have to wait. Hopefully no lockdown by summertime. 🍦🐞🐝🌻

[@SB_41]

This is wonderful! I feel so inspired to break out of my daily athleisure outfits. Birkinstock makes these wonderful big buckle slides that I live in during the summer 🖤

[@gflood5162]

Beautiful black and white outfits! They are so timeless❤️

[@janetkwoksji7217]

I really like this video because you’re sharing such great ideas and they’re helping people to save time. Simply wonderful. The idea of pairing something structured with something more relaxed without distracting is what I will definitely try. Love that blue little mock croc bag! It will go so well with denim! Thanks for your ideas as always!

[@kg8487]

Audrey, you look stellar while presenting in this white tailored blouse look with pulled-back, low chignon and these earrings. You just ooze "Boss Babe" in this video.

[@mistywindingriver9781]

I just LOVE your ADVICE and your opinion!!!!

[@sahondraniaina6214]

Classic, timeless, fun.

[@eileenchang2173]

Audrey, thanks for the style tips ! I am experiencing a heat wave with high humidex readings. I use a silk scarf to belt shorts instead of a leather belt. I find it doesn’t feel or look as heavy . I also have many different linen pieces in my wardrobe for the summer and it is a game changer! Over a decade ago linen was found to be very scratchy but now there are many pieces you can find that have a smooth finish.

[@ah5721]

High quality linen shouldn't be scratchy. I just bought 6 yards of linen and it's soft . If the linen you are able to buy is, it's probably not for clothing or it's probably a lesser quality.

[@eileenchang2173]

Amanda H , I totally agree. It’s like any fabric one has to look for the right finish and quality. No different then wool.

[@shelleycarlson6184]

Hi Audrey, I absolutely agree with you about belts. I love them and always wore them even one others didn't. They help complete an outfit.

[@cherylsimmons4540]

Love that green patterned blouse!

[@nikkijackson5975]

Audrey I am glad to see you kept those linen trousers. I think they look great on and the way you have styled them looks on trend.

[@user-lk9wy7hi1d]

The combo of Florida heat and humidity means you can only wear light weight sleeveless and shorts

[@janegeorge-john7272]

Same for Antigua, it is sweltering down here!

[@debbiegibson3604]

I live in northern Virginia just outside Washington, D.C., and would melt in some of these outfits. They are very attractive, though. I almost can't even wear slacks in the summer unless I know I'll be in cold a/c. I live in shorts and sleeveless shirts in the daytime, too.

[@nadaalbannai2174]

Hahaha try Middle East specifically kuwait. It’s sizzling hot . And as a muslim woman I cover up my body and hair of coarse. The good thing though we have air conditioning EVERYWHERE.. we don’t do outdoor activities at all during summer

[@SkScarlet]

I feel you!

[@UrsCurt12]

Here in Ireland, summer means rain jackets, umbrellas and frizzy hair. Fact. ☔☘🤪

[@bebeeru3066]

This is so helpful for us who live in Florida! I am glad you added a pair of Birkenstock in your collection. I am thinking add one pair as well.

[@lynnblack6493]

Summer dresses. Would not be able stand 30+ temps w/o little dresses. Good ideas Audrey. Will be searching out Black sandals!

Glad you're enjoying your Birkenstocks so much, Audrey! I've been wearing mine with everything as well.

[@Deanna52ish]

Oh Audrey, I love your hair! It goes so well with your structured elements. Thank you!

[@seeseesstopmotionstudio120]

A lot of this advice is quite specific to Gamine body types (which you are), and don't translate to other body types (structure, black sandals, block heels), but otherwise timeless 😉 as always!

[@lalalovinlifelala]

Yess!! I want her to talk about Kibbe body types!

[@sxs311]

she's written a blog post about it and she's a Soft Classic, which has been confirmed by other people too :)

[@ceciliaexp]

She doesn't look gamine to me 🤔😊

[@Keapix]

I’ve wondered about Audrey‘s type. I’ve always thought she has a long vertical line, as she appears to be much taller than she actually is.

[@seeseesstopmotionstudio120]

@@sxs311 interesting!

[@Mxtraveler]

I liked all of the outfits with the Birkenstocks better than the block heel sandals. Cute!

Audrey, you always look fantastic and effortless. This is great timing since it has been hot and humid in New England. Thanks!

[@heatherframpton9693]

A big yes to earrings, especially during these Summer months when I wear my very long hair (red! 😁❤️🔥) back or up. The coolest, literally and figuratively, accessory... Also, that scarf tied on a tote bag/purse...😍☀️ Happy Summer from SE Michigan! 😁☀️❤️

Wow, I haven’t owned a pair of Birkenstocks in many years. I’ve had the standard taupe color and never thought how good black ones look until this video. Always great insight from your channel. Thanks Audrey!

[@pinklotus7933]

Great video. I would love to see how you tied the white button down shirt. I couldn’t tell on the screen but it looked like it added some great interest.

[@MsZeslyn]

Would love to know more about the blue bag. It’s gorgeous!

[@stellamaxwell777]

You look so elegant here! The earrings look so nice with the button down, and I love the hair pulled off your face. A+ look, Audrey!

[@SilviaN1]

Love that you are so realistic. Then your advice is so much easier to incorporate in everyday life. I have learned that my wardrobe needs to contain items that I can wear all day and not feel like I have to change into something more comfortable the minute I enter the house. By the way: I feel much more elegant in spring and summer, than I do in the cold season. Love from Denmark :-)

[@aimeejo1366]

It feels as though you’ve read my mind with this one. I’ve been in a summer style slump for sure; thank you for the inspiration!

This is one of my favorite videos by you... or in general when it comes to dressing for the summer. A lot of KZbinrs elevate their summer outfits by layering light sweaters etc and that is just not feasible in some areas, it’s too hot.

[@rachelgilders130]

Espadrilles never go out of fashion and always feel like Summer!

[@2cmrinhfx]

As always, just wonderful & classic. The only thing with Linen is that it wrinkles so easily. You start off looking fresh but then it looks so worn. Do you have any hacks that prevent this? Thanks Audrey, wonderful video

Really great video. I love how you shift the focus to what we can only wear in the summer. It helps me not miss my coats. (Although I'm already thinking about fall.) I also have Birkensrocks, I bought black ones with one strap and a larger silver buckel. They still look chic and go with everything!

Can you recommend places to shop for the type of short that you wear?

[@rosariocarroll7887]

Love your videos! Classic, stylish and sophisticated are magic words for me! In the past you've asked about input and request and I'm ready for two now :) 1. With weddings not happening and moving celebrations to backyards instead I'm curious to have options, as the mother of the groom on what to wear. It will be a small gathering with temperatures around 70's. With my present condition I would definitely will need to wear a mask (perhaps to match my outfit? Or wld that be way too much!) and keep contact distance. 2. No harm in dreaming right? ... so we decided to reserve a spot for a Latin American cruise from Miami down to Lima!!!! I am Peruvian! :). I believe the weather would be around mid 60s. God willing and vaccination on hand we might be able to travel beginning of Dec. 2021. So there you go :). Can't wait to see you again!!! And soon since my son's wedding celebration (now a brunch for immediate family since they've pushed the wedding for July 2021) will be July 25th. Again, love your video of today.... Although I have to say ... I'll skip on the Birkenstock and try some other trend :))

[@sofiacoretti8543]

These outfits are so beautiful! I loved each single one of them 😍

[@rachelgilders130]

POW! You look amazing. I love your catch phrases Audrey ... so let’s get started...last but not least...and there you have it. Wonderful summer tips ... I am looking for a structured bag - a grab bag that I can put down and don’t have to find somewhere to hang it. Love the tip for Sandals block heel none fussy - that will be on my list...lately I’m going through all the seasons in one day!! Love white shirts!

[@sherryedwards695]

Yes, very good tips. Where I live in Canada we don't get much of a summer. And, when it finally starts to warm up we coup ourselves up in the air conditioning. Funny that you would mention Berkinstocks being a "trend", here they are a staple, ha ha. Stay indoors and stay safe.

I'm not sure if you've already made something on the topic, but I would love if you made a video covering thrift/vintage shopping! The thrift stores in my area seem to be filled with second hand fast fashion pieces, and I'd love to see how you find your vintage treasures :)

[@IamEWoof]

Stevia Valour ebay is a great source!

[@ifetayodavidson-cade5613]

If you choose eBay, 1) know your measurements, 2) be specific about what you are looking for, 3) focus on natural fabrics (linen, cotton, wool, silk, etc), and 4) be patient. It has taken me 2 years each time I tried to replace pants because I am taller than average.
