Now that it's getting warmer outside, it's time for a vibe shift. And what's that you say? After spring closet cleaning, you're left with nothing to wear to brunches, hangouts, and date nights?! We won't allow it! A little bit of shopping for some cute summer outfits is absolutely necessary (and tbh, therapeutic). Try to aim for a mix of staple items that'll stretch throughout the seasons and some bolder statement looks that'll function as the hero pieces of your summer 2023 wardrobe. And don't forget about the accessories — straw bags and sun hats, to be specific.

Maybe you're looking to stock up on trendy matching sets and Hawaiian shirts to throw over bikinis, or you're determined to finish the hunt for the perfect breezy sundress. Either way, we've pulled together some vibe-y looks for summer 2023. These shoppable 'fits run the range from grungy dad style and '90s punk to comfy-chic looks that feel just as cozy as your most worn-in sweatpants. Get your credit card ready, because we're doing it big with these cute summer outfits.
