I've said it before, and I'll say it again: there is nothing easier or more chic than slipping on a jumpsuit, adding a clutch or a hat and then heading out the door. Whether it's to brunch, shopping, or out to dinner, the jumpsuit look has become my go-to in recent weeks. Casual elegance and effortlessly chic looks are what I am most drawn to these days (especially in the summer heat) and this jumpsuit is perfect for achieving that look. 

This one is from Loft (I know, another Loft jumpsuit, but I couldn't resist the 50% off sale that was going on last weekend!) I love Loft because if you are patient and wait for the sales to happen (and they always do) you can find amazing, modern pieces for amazing prices. This one is actually really comfortable and breezy, and I love that it's so open on the top- it's perfect for hot muggy days. I styled it with a classic panama hat (keeping my hair off my neck + automatic sun protection), white Clare V. clutch and espadrille wedges for a summery touch (although I also love the idea of wearing a pair of flatforms.) 

Trying out the culotte trend in jumpsuit form is surprisingly easier than styling culotte pants alone, because you have a built-in top which takes the outfit equation down a notch. (Again, it's all about ease and effortless elegance in the summertime.) Also, finding a jumpsuit or culottes in a solid color is a must- the wide-legs are flashy enough on their own so you don't need a bright color or bold pattern. 

Would you dare to wear the culotte trend this summer? I would love to hear your thoughts below!
