Labor Day signifies the end of summer which also means the end of festivals, laying out by the pool, and long, warm days. But, don’t get all bent out of shape just yet! This last summer holiday means you still have one more warm weather event that requires a killer outfit. Whether it’s a laid back BBQ at a friend’s house, jet-setting to another city, or a professionally planned party to say goodbye to summer and hello to fall, there’s a quick and simple way to pick the perfect ensemble. Here are a few ideas to get you started!

In my opinion, you can almost never go wrong with jeans and a top. It’s basically the perfect solution for any relaxed occasion, especially if you know you’ll most likely be spending the evening outside, drink in hand, chatting the night away. You can dress it up by choosing a more elevated, sophisticated top, throw on a pair of heels, and you’re ready to go! Be sure to choose a pair of jeans that are on trend like a crop, high waist, or flare. Considering the fact that you’ll be wearing tight, long pants, you’ll probably want something a bit cooler and looser on top. Next, grab a pair of statement heels for a little flair and you’re all set!
On the other hand, if you are celebrating Labor Day in a more formal way, you will definitely want to forget about the jeans. Take full advantage of your “last day to wear white” (although I think we all love winter white). Going with a pretty, summer dress is a simple and chic option. I love white, lace dresses because they’re feminine, flirty and they’re also an elegant choice for an upscale event. Keep the summer vibe going with a pair of strappy sandals, an iconic chain strap bag and some light jewelry. You really can’t go wrong with this one!
