5 summer outfits for every occasion

The season's hottest ensembles to take you from day to night.

With party season in full swing, it’s time to re-vamp your style and add some serious flare to your weekend wardrobe — we’re talking vibrant prints, statement silhouettes and chic brunch-to-bar outfits.

More is more this season, from your makeup to your heels. So we’ve compiled five go-to looks to inspire your summer looks, from girls’ day to date night and everything in between. Your summer style is sorted.

1. Girls’ day out

Dress by Husk, $79 to rent at GlamCorner; Clutch by Adorne, $29 to rent at GlamCorner; Velvet headband, $15.95 at Dotti; Slides, $69.95 at Billini; Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish in Berry Blissed by Revlon, $24.95 at Chemist Warehouse

From the shops, to the beach, to sunset cocktails, girls’ day out calls for a versatile yet chic combo. Opt for lightweight linen or cotton styles in a statement print like this breezy leopard wrap dress, and keep styling simple with elegant accessories. We love Revlon’s Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish in Berry Blissed to accentuate this purple-pink palette.

2. Sunday brunch

Dress by Zimmermann, $179 to rent at GlamCorner; Clutch by Olga Berg, $29 to rent at GlamCorner; Pearl hair clip by Morgan & Taylor, $19 at GlamCorner; Heels by Billini, $99 at GlamCorner; Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish in Date Night by Revlon, $24.95 at Chemist Warehouse

Pastels are back (did they ever really leave?), and are sure to lend a feminine edge to daytime looks. This floral Zimmermann dress is perfectly paired with soft tans and metallics, and calls for beachy waves swept back with a pearl-studded hair clip. Stick to barely-there makeup, and try Revlon’s vitamin-E packed Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish in Date Night for a deeper-hued contrast.

3. Date night

Dress by Rebecca Vallance, $149 to rent at GlamCorner; Velvet clutch by Olga Berg, $29 to rent at GlamCorner; Earrings by Adorne, $29 at GlamCorner; Heels by Billini, $99 at GlamCorner; Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish in Rule the World by Revlon, $24.95 at Chemist Warehouse

Date night calls for your best LBD and eye-catching accessories. This lace-trimmed bodycon is perfect when paired with strappy stilettos and a vibrant pop of colour. Swap your go-to red tint for Revlon’s Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish in Rule The World to add a high-definition fuchsia finish to your evening look.

4. Picnic

Playsuit by Alice McCall, $69 to rent at GlamCorner; Raffia clutch by Olga Berg, $29 to rent at GlamCorner; Ring by Jolie and Deen, $69 at GlamCorner; Wedges, $89.99 at Betts; Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish in Act Natural by Revlon, $24.95 at Chemist Warehouse

Voluminous sleeves are making a serious comeback (just take a look at the Golden Globes red carpet), and we love this whimsical Alice McCall playsuit. Family picnics and backyard soirees call for a more pared-back finish, so opt for wedges and neutral tones with a subtle hint of bling. Swipe on Revlon’s Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish in Act Natural for a dewy gloss finish.

5. Summer wedding

Dress by Husk, $139 to rent at GlamCorner; Clutch by Olga Berg, $29 to rent at GlamCorner; Hoop earrings by Adorne, $29 at GlamCorner; Heels by Billini, $89 at GlamCorner; Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish in Power Up by Revlon, $24.95 at Chemist Warehouse

Florals and frills are a must for wedding season. Look to soft silhouettes — think flounced midis and tiered maxis — and vibrant prints, then finish your look with metallic accessories and nude heels (or sandals for beach ceremonies). Summer is all about colour, so go big and bold when it comes to beauty. Style a tousled up-do with a cat-eye look, and add Revlon’s nourishing Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish in Power Up for a long-lasting shine and colour-impact.
