Look for Less: Casual Chic

When it’s hot out, it can sometimes be hard to pull off casual chic. All you want to do is throw on a bathing suit and jump in the pool, or sit around in as few clothes as possible and soak up the AC. But, it is possible to dress up your daily look and still beat the heat. Lace and scalloped shorts are a great way to step up a summer staple. So are leather shorts like the ones Maria Menounos sported at a Beverly Hills designer preview. If leather shorts aren’t in your budget, try a faux leather pair like the ones below. A simple top paired with both neutral and subtly colorful accessories ties the look together.

Top (Macys), Faux Leather Shorts (Forever 21),  Wedges (ModCloth), Necklace (BaubleBar), Clutch (Frock Candy)

What’s your go-to casual chic look for summer?
