this breezy white maxi skirt
American Eagle High-Waisted Maxi Skirt
I’m officially declaring 2024 as the summer of the white maxi skirt. I’m willing to bet you’ve seen at least one fashion influencer in a white maxi skirt and cute crop top on IG this summer. This outfit works flawlessly while summering in Europe, but also for anywhere else too, tbh.

Djerf Ave Lazuli Top Blue
You can’t go wrong with denim and a cute tee. Pair this elevated Djerf Ave take on the classic T-shirt with your favorite denim shorts and some good walking sandals. The top is super light, airy, and *slightly* sheer, making it perfect for a beach coverup, a night out, or just a day out ‘n about.

The unofficial color of summer 2024 is butter yellow, and I can already picture you in this Quince midi dress frolicking through a little Euro town.

Free People Bailey 3-Piece Sweater Set
Two words: effortlessly chic. Co-ords that can be mixed and matched are a smart investment, especially when you have limited packing space.

Just add flip flops, and you’re set.

this stunning crochet set

this linen button-up
H&M Linen Shirt
I can’t travel anywhere in the summer without packing my linen button-up: it’s the best layering piece in the world, and is still light enough so you’re not overheating on a summer day. Layer this striped shirt over a white tank and style with linen trousers, or if it’s cool enough weather, a pair of relaxed jeans.

Gap Poplin PJ Boxer Shorts
Soooo, is anyone else obsessed with the boxer-short-as-pants trend? Cool, because if it’s a super hot day, you can style these Gap poplin boxer shorts with a basic scoop tank top for an ultra-casual outfit. Don’t forget to throw on your Adidas Samba OG Shoes to complete the look.

this going-out dress
Good American Shirt Dress
Daytime Euro style is typically more understated in neutral colors, however, it’s fun to bring a pop of color, like this vibrant shirt dress, for a night out. Pair this off-the-shoulder design with heeled flip flops and a lil leather shoulder bag for a red hot evening.
