1. Cute Sundress
When I think of summer, the first thing that comes to mind is a cute print sundress. It’s just such a fresh and feminine look when it hot out. This pretty linen one has a French toile-inspired pattern that makes it graceful and charming. Dress it up with a pair of sexy black sandals, an elegant bag, and some sparkly earrings, and you have a chic summer sundress look.

2. Shorts + Striped Top
You can’t go wrong with anything striped since stripes lend themself to a nautical summer vibe. I love this flowy peasant style with the tassel tie neckline. Pair this top with a pair of crisp white shorts, a straw bag, beaded earrings, and some earthy sandals, and you have a darling summer look.

These are so pretty!! I live in a very hot climate. I would love to see casual summer options for over 40 that feature sleeveless or short sleeve options and all skirts dresses or shorts. Jeans, trousers, long sleeves, 3/4 sleeves, jackets, and even maxi dresses can be way too hot. Ideas?
