August Outfit Ideas to Recreate

August is here, and while we’re nearing the end of summer, the weather is still warm and enjoyable. But, it can be tricky to know what to wear this month, but that’s why I’m excited to share some chic August outfit ideas to elevate your wardrobe this month and beyond. August is a great time to embrace lighter fabrics like linen and cotton because of the heat. It’s also an excellent opportunity to start incorporating more earth tones into our looks as we head towards fall. Overall, it’s great to opt for linen pieces, incorporate knits like a knit vest, and include denim and dresses to stay stylish this August. So stay tuned as I share some outfit ideas, as well as my favorite pieces, to elevate your August wardrobe!

Butter Yellow Outfits

Butter yellow outfits are so on trend for August, adding a soft pop of color that still feels neutral and easy to wear.

White Shorts Set Outfit

A white shorts set is the perfect relaxed yet chic outfit for the end of summer. Opt for a linen or cotton matching shorts and button down set for a light, breathable look that’s ideal for August heat. Then, pair with sandals and a raffia bag for that effortless, vacation ready vibe.

Mini Red Dress Outfits

Mini red dress outfits are such a chic choice for the end of summer. A simple shift dress in a bold red feels both effortless and eye catching, perfect for a summer party or vacation. Then, pair it with sandals and a raffia tote or bag for an easy, polished look that works day or night.

Black Trousers And Tan Shirt Outfit

Black trousers are a classic not only for summer but truly all year round. In August, I love styling them for an elevated yet casual look with a tan t-shirt. To make the outfit pop, I add kitten heels and a belt. For a more laid back daily look, pairing them with white sneakers and my favorite tote bag is always a go to.

Blue Button Down and White Pants Outfits

A blue button down and white pants outfit is the perfect mix of comfy and chic for the end of summer. Style white linen pants or crisp white jeans with a simple tank and layer on a blue button-up top for an easy, breezy look. Finish with sneakers or sandals and a tote bag. So perfect for running errands, strolling the farmers market, or a casual day out.

Black Dress Outfits

When it comes to black dress outfits for August, a black maxi or midi dress is my go to. It keeps me comfy and cool in the summer heat and effortlessly transitions into fall. Simply add a light sweater or jacket, and you’re set for the season change. It’s such a versatile piece that works well now and later.

Pop of Brown Outfits

I’m loving pops of brown for August. It’s a great neutral to add to your summer capsule wardrobe. Brown adds a subtle hint of fall while still keeping a summery vibe, especially when you opt for a dress or a chic brown handbag. Incorporating brown into your outfits is an easy way to transition your look as we move towards autumn.

White Pants Outfits

White pants are a timeless addition to any wardrobe, especially for summer. Whether you choose white denim jeans, linen trousers, or cotton pants, they always look fresh and stylish. In August, for a classic look or even a mom drop off look at school, opt for white pants with a classic white tee and white sneakers. For an extra fall element, add a chic knit vest that’s still cool enough for summer.

Black Skirt Outfits

A black skirt is another great piece for wearing year round. For August, style your black skirt with sneakers and a tee for a smart casual look, or add pointed toe heels for a chic workwear outfit. Whether it’s a slip skirt or a full cotton skirt, a black skirt is versatile and timeless. Overall, a black skirt is a must have for any wardrobe.

Pop of Green Outfits

August is a great time to start incorporating earth tones into your wardrobe, and a pop of green is a perfect way to do this. Whether you opt for white pants with a green t-shirt or green trousers with a green and white button down, both are chic options to style this month. A simple shade of green adds a fresh, natural touch to your outfits, making them perfect for the transition from summer to fall.

White Skirt and Adidas Sambas Outfit

A white skirt is a great way to keep your August outfit summery. For a chic look, pair it with Adidas Sambas, a black tank, and your favorite raffia tote. This outfit is stylish and versatile, perfect for any occasion, whether you’re grabbing lunch with friends or exploring the city. So chic and effortless.

Denim Outfits

August is a great time to style denim in your outfits. Whether it’s denim shorts or classic blue jeans, denim is incredibly versatile. For a smart casual look, style your denim shorts with a t-shirt, a blazer, and your favorite sandals. Alternatively, opt for denim jeans paired with a knit tank and sneakers for a comfy, casual, yet elevated look.

White / Cream Dress Outfits

I’m loving a simple white or cream dress for easy styling at the end of summer. And a cream dress is perfect for transitioning into the fall. You can opt for a maxi or midi length and then add a chic raffia tote to maintain that summer vibe. These dresses are effortlessly stylish and versatile, making them ideal for August and the change of seasons.

White Shorts Outfits

When you want a look that is elegant but also comfortable in the August heat, white shorts are a great option. For a chic black and white look, wear white tailored shorts with pointed toe shoes, a black tank, and even layer on a black blazer for a sophisticated workwear outfit.
