And wow there was so much good stuff I kept pinning and thinking ok this one with my jeans this one with that skirt I have. Here are the mix and match outfits that have been inspiring me the most the ones Ive tried or am planning to recreate soon.
9 Mix And Match Outfits That Feel Fresh And So Fun
Linen Tank Top with Tailored Shorts
A linen tank with tailored shorts is my favorite mix and match combo because the casual linen softens the structured shorts perfectly. I wore my beige linen tank with black tailored shorts just like this to a casual dinner with friends last month and felt so good the whole night. My bestie kept saying how the outfit looked expensive but comfy and then asked where the shorts were from haha. We ended up staying late chatting outside and the linen was perfect for the warm evening breeze.
Seriously linen with tailored pieces is magic for summer.
And honestly mixing textures like this makes old pieces feel new.
White Button-Up Shirt with Denim Shorts
A white button-up open over denim shorts is classic mix and match cool. Roll sleeves for extra casual.
Flowy Midi Dress with Strappy Sandals
A flowy midi dress with sandals is romantic summer mix. I wore my printed midi with simple sandals to a garden party and felt so pretty twirling around. My friend kept complimenting how the dress moved haha.
Crop Top Paired with Wide-Leg Pants
A crop top with wide-leg pants balances fitted and flowy beautifully. So flattering.
Lightweight Blazer with Summer Tank
A light blazer over tank with shorts or pants adds polish for transitional weather. I wore my linen blazer over a tank and shorts to a day to night event and felt perfect as it cooled down. My boyfriend kept saying how the blazer made the casual base look fancy haha.
Blazers with summer bases are my transitional secret.
