Ethical Summer Outfits from ABLE

As the weather warms up and we transition into summer, it’s the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe with versatile, well-made pieces. What better way to do this than by supporting an ethical, sustainable, and female-led brand like ABLE? Here are four chic outfits that showcase the best of ABLE’s commitment to fashion that makes you look good and feel even better about your choices.

1. Relaxed Everyday Look

This outfit pairs a classic striped tee with relaxed gauze pants, creating a look that’s both comfortable and chic. The tee has a boxy fit and is made from a heavier cotton fabric. If you need more length, size up. I’m wearing my usual size small.

The wide-leg pants not only offer comfort but also a great silhouette that flatters different body types. The relaxed fit allows for easy movement, perfect for those warm spring and summer days when you want to stay cool and breezy. If you are between sizes, size up for a more comfy fit.

2. Casual Summer Weekend Look

For a laid-back weekend look, pair a cozy cream knit sweater with high-waisted denim shorts. This combination offers the perfect balance between warmth and breeziness for those transitional spring to summer days. The striped tote bag and casual cap add a fun, sporty touch, while the woven slip-on sandals keep the look grounded and practical.

3. Chic Minimalist Look

A more elevated summer outfit idea: pair a classic high-neck tank with beige trousers. I love the texture of the ribbed tank and overall construction. I’ve had this for two years and it’s still one of my favorite ethical summer pieces.

The pants have an elastic waist band & tie, which makes them feel a bit more casual than a button front trouser. I was between sizes on these so I went with my larger size. I could have gone either way, but wanted to be sure I had a roomy fit in the bum.

The structured beige bag is a perfect match for this outfit. Its clean lines and neutral color make it versatile enough to pair with almost any outfit, while its structured design adds a touch of sophistication. The black flats are a practical and stylish choice, ensuring you stay comfortable throughout the day without compromising on style.

4. Denim on Denim Look

Denim on denim is always a good idea, especially when done right. This look pairs a light blue denim shirt with classic straight-leg jeans for an effortlessly cool vibe. The white sneakers add a casual, sporty element, while the curved crossbody bag provides a modern twist. This outfit is perfect for running errands or meeting friends for a coffee.

Sizing notes: this top is intentionally an oversized fit. Size down one for a relaxed look. It you want something more fitted, this isn’t the top for you. The jeans run TTS this exact style is sold out, but I’m linking the new 2024 ABLE straight leg denim that are my favorite. The sneakers run TTS and require some break-in time.
