SHARK TANK APPROVED 
Summer is in full swing, and boy, it has been hot! Dressing for the summer heat and feeling cute is no easy feat, so we wanted to give you some redhead inspo to help you get through the rest of the summer. Many of these looks offer protection to keep your redhead skin safe from the sun, but covering up isn’t always ideal when it gets hot, so don’t forget your sunscreen.
Redheads often have a unique and striking appearance that specific colors and styles can complement. Before we jump into outfit ideas, here are some other style tips to keep in mind:
Colors to Embrace:
- Earth Tones: Shades like olive green, mustard yellow, and warm browns can bring out the richness of red hair.
- Cool Blues: Turquoise, teal, and deep blues can provide a beautiful contrast with red hair.
- Soft Pastels: Light peach, lavender, and soft pink can create a gentle, complementary look.
- Neutrals: White, cream, and tan are versatile and can help balance out bolder accessories or patterns.
Makeup Tips:
- Natural Look: Enhance your natural features with warm tones, such as peach or coral blush, and subtle eyeshadow shades that complement your outfit.
- Bold Lip: If you want to make a statement, a classic red lipstick can look stunning against red hair, especially for evening occasions.
Hair Care:
- Sun Protection: Use hair products with UV protection to shield your hair from sun damage.
- Hydration: Keep your hair moisturized, and consider using products that enhance red tones if you wish to intensify your hair color.
By selecting outfits and accessories that complement your hair color and skin tone, you can create a cohesive and stylish look that highlights your natural beauty as a redhead. Here are 9 outfit ideas for the summer months:
1. Casual dresses
Simple, flowy dresses paired with sandals or sneakers are a great option for when it’s super hot in the summertime! This redhead has a ton of effortless summer looks you can steal. Keep these ideas in mind:
-
- Outfit: A flowing midi dress in a floral print with a mix of earth tones. Pair it with sandals or espadrilles.
- Accessories: Add a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and a woven handbag for a chic touch.
@worryflower Summer nights are my favorite and cute dresses make them even better 🖤 #fashioninspo #fashion #style #boho #summeroutfit #midsizefashion #redhead #tattoos #howtodress #whattowear #westernboho
2. Beach ready
Long, flowy skirts are super in right now, and they look so cute paired with a little tank top or T-shirt. Long skirts also give your legs some sun coverage. This is a great beach option, too. Here is some more inspo:
-
- Outfit: High-waisted deep blue or emerald green bikini paired with a white or cream cover-up.
- Accessories: Straw sunhat, oversized sunglasses, and flip-flops.

3. Linen Pants
A linen pant is another great option that gives leg coverage from the sun without being too hot. Pair it with your favorite top, and you’re good to go. Here are some ideas:
- Outfit: White linen blouse paired with high-waisted denim shorts or a skirt in a warm brown shade.
- Accessories: Layered necklaces, a crossbody bag, and flat sandals.

4. Fun Denim
If the temperatures aren’t too hot, rock your denim. Wearing a fun pair of jeans with a cute top is perfect for a casual summer day. We love how this redhead styled her patchwork jeans with a simple tank.

5. Loose trousers + jumpsuits:
Similarly to linen pants, loose trousers give you leg coverage without being too hot or restrictive. We love this all-white ensemble! We also love a jumpsuit. Here is some inspiration for your next outfit:
- Outfit: A sleeveless, soft pastel-colored jumpsuit like lavender or peach, cinched at the waist with a belt.
- Accessories: Statement earrings, a clutch bag, and wedges or heels in a complementary neutral shade.

6. Flowy Top + Shorts
A loose, flowy top and jean shorts are a staple for the warmer months. The top gives more arm coverage, while the shorts keep you nice and cool. Pair with sandals, sneakers, or boots.

7. Mini Dress
Looking for something a little more dressed up? We love a mini dress for hot summer nights. Pair it with the right accessories to look chic while staying cool.
@kirstyeelizabeth Do you agree? #redheadoutfit #ootd #outfitinspo

A cute matching linen or any matching set is the easiest way to feel put together quickly. This redhead’s all-white look is adorable for summertime and will keep you cool.
