The $100 Summer Staple You Can Wear 5 Different Ways

Even the most fashion-obsessed women understand the value of low-maintenance outfits in the summer months. After all, who wants to angst over ensembles when there is outdoor fun to be had? To facilitate effortless dressing, we’ve culled an affordable piece that can be styled a myriad of ways and looks great on everyone. Did we mention it makes packing for vacation an absolute cinch? Here, some of our favorite influencers are showing how to style a lightweight white caftan—this version features pom-pom embellishment and a lace-up front–with virtually everything in your closet.

For The Office

A flowing top looks office-appropriate when cinched at the waist. Try tucking yours into an A-line midi skirt and pairing with a structured bag and demure heels.

For Cocktail Hour

Take advantage of the lace-up neckline and wear the top off one shoulder. Pair it with a sleek, low ponytail, chain necklace and paperbag shorts for a playful-yet-unexpected cocktail look.

For Date Night

A voluminous cover-up makes for a great, low-key mini dress. Style it simply with strappy sandals and statement earrings.

For Brunch With Friends

Head-to-toe white feels fresh but not precious with the addition of distressed white denim. Keep the look polished with closed-toe heels and minimal makeup.

For A Concert

Channel '70s vibes by tucking the cover-up into wide-leg denim. Finish the look with a masculine hat and whimsical bag.
