Crisp white jeans always work, day and night, especially these flattering styles from , , and . A quilted Chanel bag and ballerina flats are timelessly chic.

I love how LA-based designer and blogger Julie Sarinana puts a sophisticated spin on a pedestrian summer uniform-- shorts and a t-shirt--with some elevated accessories. Her choice extras: a woven past-season Prada tote (I like this current , or this one and this ), a structured straw hat (like or ), sunglasses, and embellished slides. An easy everyday look to emulate!
