In anticipation for the gorgeous upcoming months, I’ve created two looks that I hope to be sporting from now until August. My motto in the summer heat is “less is more” so accessories definitely come into play-hats, jewelry, and summery handbags. I chose various price points and opposite styles, so these outfits can cater to all types of vegan chicks.
The first is a colorful and beachy look, worn best with tangled waves and an iced coffee in hand.
{H&M top, $34}
{ Free People vegan leather shorts, $78}
{Big Bhudda bag, $100}
{Mars Heels, $225}
The second look is a lot more edgy and a lot less pricey. I’m picturing cat-eyed liner, a topknot, and a rock concert to go along.
{Forever 21 faux-leather romper, $25}
{TokyoBay vegan crossbody bag, $31}
{ Steve Madden man-made sandals, $60.}
And finally, for all you dudes out there: when it comes to summer fashion, it’s all about the basics. You would be surprised just how far a simple white v-neck tee can go!
These two looks from H&M’s latest Conscious Collection take simplicity up a notch by incorporating fine tailoring and sharp lines for a more put-together style.

These splurge-worthy shoes are the perfect standout item for summertime.

For a more dressed up look, opt for this nautical, faux-silk tie.
These looks work for day and night, respectively, and are conducive to warm weather and laid-back days. The best part is that every single item is man-made and cruelty free. Fashion-foward and ethically effortless. For other summertime events that are dotting your calender, visit these places for more stylish vegan finds:
