The unofficial start of summer means it’s time to break out the best of your warm-weather wardrobe! We’re talking all the shorts, sandals, and dresses you can get your hands on. Obviously a red, white, and blue theme is great if you’re going for coordinating family outfits, and these digs from Old Navy won’t ask you to sacrifice on style or comfort!

Blazer | Bodysuit | Boots

I will take any excuse to wear a blazer – I love how it adds instant sophistication to any outfit! This gorgeous red satin number paired with a faux leather jumpsuit is just the right mix of sleek and sultry. Finish it off with sparkly boots to make your look pop.

Dress | Shoes

This slinky little one-shoulder dress styled with black heels is a gorgeous option for NYE! Work the room and get ready for tons of compliments in this outfit.

Tulle Top | Sequin Skirt | Boots

This fun tulle top is a match made in heaven for this siren-red sequin skirt! Party up top, party down below, party all around because it is NYE and we are ready to PAR-TAY!! Don those sparkly boots again for footwear that will keep you dancing all night long.

Dress | Shoes

Glitter and feathers…what more could you ask for from the perfect party outfit?! Pop bottles and turn heads in this stunning dress paired with lacy pumps.

Long Sleeve Top | Skort | Boots

I love the look of a long sleeve top with a skirt. I think that little show of skin is a flirty way to find a bit of sexiness. This silver top paired with a studded skort and, of course, the shiny boots, is a comfortable look that doesn’t sacrifice in the style department.

Bodysuit | Pants | Shoes

A silky blouse styled with feather-trim pants and finished with patterned heels is an elegant NYE look. Feel and look your best in an outfit that perfectly balances class with chicness.
