Even if your Labor Day weekend plans won’t look quite like Karlie Kloss’ skinny bikini-clad barbecue above, you can certainly make sure you feel just as fabulous with a fashionable ensemble. Keep reading for outfit ideas to match your personality and destination.
If you’re spending the long weekend lounging in the Hamptons or Malibu, choose a maxi dress for a bohemian look like Jessica Alba. Opt for a casual, neutral heather gray maxi, complete with sexy slits and cutouts with the A.L.C Brook Dress (on sale for $188). For a slightly more dressed-up and colorful look, try the gorgeously chic Rebecca Minkoff Dev Maxi Dress ($368). Pair it with your favorite flat sandals and a fedora and you’ll be good to go.
If you’re heading to the hills, lake, or mountain regions, try something that merges the casual with the playful. Chambray shirts are ideal for your end of summer celebration since they are both stylish and practical for a little night time chill in the air. If you have yet to find the perfect Chambray shirt yet, look no further. Madewell undoubtedly has one that will fit your criteria. They have a variety of amazing options, but you can’t go wrong with the oversized button-down ($78). Miranda Kerr wasn’t afraid of a little denim on denim action, and you shouldn’t be either. Pair your top with the Denim&Supply Noll Boyfriend Cutoff shorts (on sale for $65), complete with frayed hems and beaded back pockets to spruce up your denim ensemble.
Nothing says summer quite like a great pair of white jeans. Wear this classic look if you plan to stay urban this holiday weekend (say, a rooftop party on the Bowery?). Karolina Kurkova’s endless legs are practically made for white jeans, but the right white is also flattering on us normal folk, too. Rag & Bone’s “The Capri” ($165) has the perfect skinny ankle silhouette and is arguably one of the best pairs of jeans on the market. Wear them with the uncomplicated silk tank from Everlane ($55) in a blush hue to show off your perfectly fake-tanned skin, which you can achieve overnight with this faux tanning sleep mask.
Cheers to a stylish end of summer! Be safe, ladies…
