When summer finally gets on its feet, you're going to be spending a lot of time in beer gardens or rooftop bars (whether or not you actually drink alcohol). So you'll need some inspiration for day drinking outfits. We can't help but pre-plan outfits you see and a lot of our inspiration of course comes from the stylish women on Instagram. While we were on our search for outfits to wear, we thought it's only fair we share them with you all to make getting dressed that little bit easier. Because we're sure we're not alone when we say we want to get it right now that it's actually warm.
Keep going to see the one dress you'll be able to wear to absolutely any plan in your diary, see how to style double denim (just like Mia Regan) and find out how to wear the easy breezy shirt you most likely already own. Haven't got any plans yet? You'll want to start making them once you see these dreamy looks.
Try Out Double Denim
The Canadian tuxedo is key this year and so is any double denim pairing. Make like Mia Regan, who tried out an open waistcoat over a high-neck top with jeans or a denim maxi skirt. You could always lose the polo neck if you're going out-out. Just saying.

Instead of a denim jacket, why not try a little denim crop top as temperatures start spiking? (Psst: you can always button it over a polo neck when autumn comes knocking.)

The A-listers are backing longline denim shorts for summer 2023. Mother Denim's high-waisted pair hit exactly the right spot above the knee.
Make It A Midi
The midi skirt is an easy item to dress up or down depending on your day. Sylvie has tucked a vest and tonal shirt into a leather iteration. Very cool. If your day drinking outfits don't tend to include heels, you could easily wear this with chunky trainers. Either way, it's a cute outfit.

Never Underestimate The Button-Down Shirt
If the weather isn't playing ball then you'll need to think about layers for your day drinking outfits. A linen shirt slipped over a tank top - or a bikini top when the weather turns truly scorching - is the chicest way to do it.

Wear A Nice Top
