Summer is such a great season for styling your outfits in fun ways and playing around with different clothing pieces that you wouldn’t pay attention to otherwise.
We’re sure you’ve noticed this if you’re on the internet: the lounge aesthetic has become very popular online, but usually it applies to cozier months. We thought it would be a fun idea to try and bring the lounge aesthetic into the summer season and find some outfits for you.
Adapting it to the hot days of summer might be a tricky business, but we’ve got you covered. We just took the vibe and overall aesthetic and switched some materials and styles to get the perfect combination of comfort and style. Ahead, we have some suggestions on how to achieve this luxurious lounge aesthetic and when it works best during the summer months. Read along and get ready for a rich and cozy summer experience.
Textured Evenings
Summer evenings can sometimes get a little cooler, making it the perfect time to incorporate a cozy lounge aesthetic by wearing woolen pieces. For example, going for an Aran sweater made out of merino wool with some linen trousers of the same color will give you the perfect lounge wear vibe.

If you want the option of less warmth, go for a cardigan and leave it open on top of a swimsuit with the same pair of linen trousers. This will give you a more casual feel, but still that chic lounge vibe. Get yourself some wool pieces like the ones here and try matching the colors with your wardrobe.
The easiest way to achieve this lounge wear aesthetic during summer is to keep the colors neutral or pastel and to go for monochromatic looks. That’s how a textured sweater and a light pair of trousers can come together in a stylish and cohesive look. This combination works best for evening walks along the beach or casual outdoor gatherings as the sun sets. Or, depending on where you’re going, whenever the temperature gets a little breezy.
Cozy Morning Walk
Summer mornings are such a relaxing and refreshing time, making them an ideal time for a cozy, lounge-inspired outfit. This time of day is a bit cooler, usually giving you the opportunity to wear some cozier pieces. A pair of breathable, lightweight leggings paired with a soft, oversized hoodie will give you the perfect look for a morning walk.
Choose leggings in moisture-wicking materials so that you can stay comfortable and cool, and a hoodie in a light fabric like cotton or a cotton blend so you don’t get sweaty and overheat. This outfit is not only stylish and highly popular at the moment but also functional, giving you the right amount of warmth for those early hours without overheating.
A key piece of this outfit is the high socks. You want a pair of socks in a neutral color that gets a bit higher on your calves, so you can complete this look in the most stylish way. The fun bit is that you can either add a pair of sneakers, or go for some Crocs or Birkenstocks for that lounge feel.
Garden Party Host
This last suggestion is very specific, but can easily be adapted to any event you’re going to. Hosting a garden party during summer calls for an outfit that is both elegant and comfortable. So if you want this outfit to look like sophisticated lounge wear, a linen set with a matching top and bottom is the perfect choice for you.
Linen is the most amazing fabric for summer as it keeps you cool while giving you that laid-back but elegant vibe. It also has that effortless look and comfortable vibe to it, while still being elegant. Choose a set in light, pastel colors or classic neutrals to keep the look fresh and inviting.

What takes this look to the next level is the accessories you chose for it. Go for gold jewelry, or subtle pops of color for a more summer feel. You can add some hair accessories to make this outfit more elegant.
Go for pearls, flower hair clips, or any other piece that gives you that elegant and sophisticated feel. This outfit is perfect for any daytime events where you want to stay cool and stylish, whether you are arranging a garden party or a casual brunch, or just attending someone else’s party.
