Summer days are long, and your outfits should be ready to go from sunup to sundown. Whether you’re on a beach vacation or spending the day by the water, looks that transition seamlessly from lounging to sunset dinners are essential seasonal staples. CR compiled the most stylish celebrities for summer styling inspiration. From matching sets that work for a morning stroll to the shore and a casual dinner, to mini skirts that double as bikini cover-ups and chic night-out fits, this edit is your go-to guide for effortless summer dressing. Plus, CR tracked down the key pieces so you can shop these celebrity-inspired beach-to-dinner looks before your next getaway.

A matching linen set is the perfect casual, yet chic beachwear that easily transitions from a cover-up to a dinner-ready ensemble.

Bella Hadid added statement jewelry to her swimsuit set, elevating her beach look. By adding a simple mini skirt cover-up, she made the fit easily transitionable for sunset drinks.

There’s no need to change for the evening after a long day at the beach (or on a yacht) with a vibrant and sexy summer mini dress as your bikini cover-up.

A long flowy skirt and cotton tank are airy and comfy in the summer heat, plus they work perfectly to throw on after a day in the sun at the beach. The tank top can also function as a swimsuit cover-up thrown on with a pair of shorts.

Charli XCX’s summer styling inspo is perfect for all day wear. From lounging at the beach to evening cocktails, a crochet dress is practical, chic, and simple.

Another easy summer option for looking chic while feeling comfortable is a breezy white dress. Paired with mesh or transparent flats, this ensemble is perfect for wearing to the beach, out to dinner, or, like Em Rata, walking your dog.

Stripes are an elevated way to add a summery influence to your look, whether it’s as a top or bottom. A flowy, striped button up is the perfect casual cover-up, while a striped skirt with a chic tube top, like Elsa opted for, is ideal for an evening out after the beach.
