Blue and white striped pants are a fun yet classic choice for a European summer outfit. They give that breezy, coastal feel. So perfect for strolling along the beach or exploring charming towns.

Throw on a linen button-down or a breezy sarong, slip into your favorite sandals, and also don’t forget a wide brimmed hat and sunglasses for that effortlessly polished beach or poolside vibe.
Pop of Blue Outfits
A pop of blue is a perfect way to add some color to your European summer outfits while still keeping things chic and timeless. Think a baby blue button-down with white trousers, a soft blue sundress for sightseeing days, or even navy shorts paired with a neutral tank. It’s fresh, easy to style, and is so ideal for coastal towns or just embracing that breezy summer energy.
White Shorts Outfits
White shorts are a go-to for a casual yet elevated European summer outfit. Cinch the waist with a belt for a flattering fit, then pair them with a striped button-down for that effortless, coastal feel. Then, add a raffia tote and a pair of simple sandals, and you’ve got the perfect look for market mornings, seaside lunches, or wandering towns in the sun.
Black and White Dress Outfits
Black and white dress outfits are always a good idea for a European summer. They’re timeless, chic, and so easy to style. A white mini dress feels fresh and flirty for daytime adventures, while a black and white color block maxi dress is on-trend and perfect for evening dinners or events. These classic colors never go out of style, and with the right accessories. Like strappy sandals and a woven bag. They instantly give off that effortless European vibe.
European Summer Bags
When it comes to bags for a European summer, it’s all about effortless style with a touch of texture. Raffia bags are a go to. They’re chic, lightweight, and pair perfectly with everything from linen sets to flowy dresses. Crochet styles are also having a moment, adding a bit of charm to any outfit. And for something more polished, you can’t go wrong with a classic black or white bag. So timeless and elegant, they instantly elevate any look whether you’re heading to the beach or out for dinner.
