WHAT TO WEAR: Summer

Summer camp is one tradition that most people can recall from their childhood. It was always an adventure whether you were singing camp songs alongside campfires, sleeping in bunk beds or kayaking on the lake. While you may have outgrown the magic of summer camp, that doesn’t mean the cute and casual camper look can’t remain apart of your wardrobe. For example, this Fashionista who is studying engineering at Purdue University, rocked a more mature version of the summer camp look for a casual day out.

This Fashionista’s classic denim is paired with a vintage tank and lightweight plaid button-down which makes the perfect camp-to-café look for grabbing lunch with friends. Her Birkenstocks keep things casual, yet trendy, and are great for keeping cool in the summer heat. Simple accessories like her key necklace and these stacked bracelets are a simple way to add character to the overall look, as well as let her personal style shine through. Now it’s your turn to take it way back to summer camp for your next outfit inspiration!

One Simple Change: Headed to an outdoor concert after grabbing lunch with the girls? Yet, you’re worried that your casual camper look won’t cut it for the show? Think again! With a few simple swaps, your throwback look is ready to rock the stage just in case your favorite band member happens to pull you up onstage for a duet because anything’s possible, right? Tie the plaid button-down around your waist, then trade the jeans for high-waisted shorts and throw on a fun hat to protect your skin from the bright sun.
