I wish I could own every single piece Farm Rio has ever created, it would be heaven. This printed shirt is an example of a piece I would cry for. It comes with its own pair: the matching miniskirt, which has these vibrant colors that calls for summer.
The bold colors and playful print of the shirt is so Rio coded and it amazes me how Farm can capture the essence of a whole culture.

A tie front tank, such as the Matilda Tie Tank from Free People, is a versatile wardrobe staple that can be styled for various occasions, and it would also match the linen pants from Bershka.
You can also pair it with denim shorts and sandals for a more laid-back look, or tuck it into a midi skirt and add heels, nevertheless, this top is the cutest and might work with anything.

The mini length is flattering, and the cream hue is ideal for spring and summer brunches. The fabric also seems really cool, which helps in warmer days.
High-Waisted Shorts
The fact the Zara has the best jeans is something everyone knows, so I couldn’t not choose one of their shorts, which are always my go-to pieces.
For a day of drinks, these High-Waisted shorts like these offer both a lot of comfort and also style. The minimalist effortless and chic vibe this one gives. Ugh.
Also, the unique openings add a touch of personality and interest any outfit, while the high waist enhances your midriff, which is a must.
Midi Skirt Satin or Midi Skirt with Embroidery
A midi skirt sits at the perfect spot – not too short and not too long. Right at the calves or a few inches below the knee, this length is universally flattering on all body types; and these are a perfect example.
First off, the satin skirt is endlessly versatile, it can be worn in so many contexts. But in a warm sunny day, if you pair it up with sandals, sunglasses, a cute top and some jewelry, it will be a perfect fit.
One of my favorite pieces from this post, the embroidered midi skirt, also from Zara, is such a statement piece. Even as simple as it is, feels like such a classic. It can also be worn with a simple top (and any color).
Accessories
Woven Crossbody Bag or Woven Tote
A practical woven bag like Zara’s Woven Crossbody Bag or the Sparkly Woven Tote Bag are very different from common bags, but they offer texture and a different style you can add to more simple outfits to give a bit of seasoning to your looks. I love these.
Squared or Rectangular Sunglasses
Sunglasses are obviously a must in a sunny day. They are a fun accessory to play with when choosing what goes best with an outfit.
These two, both from Zara, are so chic and can add a lot to a look.
Head Wrap or Scarf
Wearing a bright scarf or head wrap, like the Print Head Wrap or colorful Cotton Scarf from Zara, is a fun and easy way to stand out (in a good way!). I don’t see much of these nowadays, but I’m currently integrating them to my outings. My favorite is the blue scarf from Zara, how can it be so gorgeous?!

At last, these 12 pieces were my favorites when researching outfits. I had this idea in my mind of what I would definitely wear to go out in a sunny day, and I’m really happy I could find such amazing pieces! Also, remember to choose fabrics that are breathable and silhouettes that are flattering, and don’t forget to accessorize with sunglasses, bags, and shoes that complement your look.
