Laid back and bright
Nothing says "laid back" like denim and faded blues, but if you want to stay on-trend, add some color to your casual clothes. A bright bracelet or pair of sandals is all it will take to add some pop to your look. Our favorite summertime style? A slightly loose burnout tank, like this one from Aventura's Americana Collection, paired with jean shorts and an armful of bold bangles.

Simple and chic
A simple dress in a neutral color will never go out of style. Choose a comfortable knit or jersey for weekend wear and pair it with a woven bag or infinity scarf in a lightweight material. We're loving the Crochet Medallion Dress from Athleta paired with the Shada Luxe bag with embroidery - the textured details add extra interest to the outfit.

Classically casual
Sport your American pride by choosing classic red, white and blue this summer. Faded colors mixed with browns and greens will keep you from looking too "Fourth of July." We're loving the "American Southwest" vibe that's brought about when
you add teal, silver and ikat patterned accessories.

Attention grabbing details
Neon is big this year, but if you're new to the trend, you may want to ease yourself in with attention grabbing accessories. Next time you're heading to a daytime concert or you're taking a laid-back bike ride through town, add some splash to your outfit with neon jewelry or a bright floral print. Balance out the bold colors with neutral solids in black, brown or gray.

Cool and comfy
When you need your outfit to work as well for yoga as it does for running errands, look for layerable, loose athletic wear in blues, purples, greens and grays. These colors mix-and-match well together, so you get more bang for your buck. When you've chosen your outfit, pair it with comfortable flats and a roomy bag - you'll be able to
knock out all of your Saturday morning to-dos while sporting a single outfit.
