5 Easy Outfit Ideas for Girls This Summer

Breezy, beautiful, and made for play — here’s how to dress her in style this season.

Summer is the season of sunshine, popsicles, and outdoor adventures — and your little one deserves a wardrobe to match. Whether she's heading to the park, a family picnic, or simply twirling through the backyard, her outfit should be as carefree and joyful as she is.

At Trendall, we believe in effortless style made from soft, breathable fabrics that keep kids cool while looking adorable. Here are five easy outfit ideas for girls this summer — simple to style, fun to wear, and perfect for play.

1. The Everyday Dress & Sandals Combo

Nothing says summer like a flowy cotton dress in a soft pastel or floral print. It’s the ultimate one-piece wonder — quick to put on, easy to wear, and perfect for twirling. Pair with comfy sandals or slip-on canvas shoes and a sunhat for all-day adventures.

Try: Trendall’s ruffle-sleeve organic dress in blush or lavender.

2. Tank Top + High-Waisted Shorts

For days filled with sidewalk chalk, ice cream runs, or playground fun, this combo is both cool and practical. Choose a fitted ribbed tank and pair with high-waisted cotton shorts in a neutral or dusty tone. Add a scrunchie or headband to finish the look.

Style tip: Tuck the tank for a neat, put-together vibe without effort.

3. Light Layering with a Summer Kimono

Even summer evenings can get breezy. Layer a lightweight kimono-style cardigan over a basic tee and leggings for a more elevated, layered look that still feels breathable. Bonus: she’ll feel like a little fashionista.

Choose gauzy fabrics or linen blends that don’t trap heat.

4. Matching Two-Piece Set

Coordinated sets are trending — and for good reason. A matching top and bottom set (like a tie-top and paperbag shorts) offers instant style with no styling stress. They're also great for photos or special outings like brunch with grandma or summer birthdays.

Look for neutral patterns like gingham, small florals, or tone-on-tone prints.

5. Graphic Tee + Skirt Combo

For the girl who loves to mix a little sass with sweetness, try a graphic tee tucked into a soft jersey skirt. Choose playful illustrations or empowering quotes and pair with white sneakers or jelly sandals. It’s comfy, cute, and gives her a chance to show some personality.

Bonus: Add a small crossbody bag or mini backpack for flair and function.
