Hey guys, it's Cindy! I recently shot artist/rock climber/HE friend Alisson (@ms_escobutt) when she came by our studio/office last week. I love to style shoots and had so much fun styling these looks. So, I figured I would write a little styling guide to help maximize your summer HE looks! I don't know about you guys but it took me approximately 30 minutes to figure out my outfit this morning, so the more creative outfit combos to reference, the better!

 

LOOK 1

Being able to be out in just a sports bra as a top is a luxury I am grateful for in the summer. Let your lower ribs see the sun while being comfortable and supported (literally). I like to contrast the exposed midsection by throwing on a jacket. If you want to go full athleisure, pair with a track jacket or bomber! For this look on Alisson, I went for a more structured look with my favourite moto jacket.

LOOK 2

On the theme of bras, why not try it out as outerwear? Bralettes and corset-tops can be so versatile when layered over a patterned top. The femininity of underwear is re-contextualized when worn over a mens-style button down. 

Shop the Look: Banana Button Up (almost all gone!)

 

LOOK 3

I personally have developed a strong attraction to midi lengths for this summer. Most people would consider it conservative but I actually think its quite sexy! Plus when it has a cigarette print, it's bound to get you comments! I love to style a sleeveless dress like this with a plain white tee underneath to dress it down, but this milkmaid-style blouse offers the added interest of these voluminous bishop sleeves.

LOOK 4

Fishnets: impossible in the winter, a go-to to edge-up your look in the summer. Cut out a hole at the crotch and feet and boom! You have a fishnet top too! Perfect for transitioning this cotton shirt dress from day to night.

LOOK 5

When I was 12 my go-to outfit was layering long-sleeve shirts under a t-shirt. Now it gets a (MUCH) cuter update when its a crop top over a sheer sleeve.
