These Breezy Outfits from Rails Will Have All Your Sunny Occasions Covered
You know that feeling when you step outside and the sun hits just so—and your wardrobe suddenly matters a little more? It's not even dressing up. It's just that when the light is warm and you're in the world, you want to look like you, but you, on your own best, most uninhibited day. That is exactly the impression these Rails looks give off.
Whether it's brunching, walking a cute 'hood, or just a whole lot of nothing with the sole intention of looking good (something that has taken years to master), these pieces are the go-tos I reach for on autopilot.
They're lightweight, body-friendly, and ridiculously easy to slip into—and yet still manage to make you feel like you schemed it all out in advance. So here are six of my favorites. Those clothes that I've worn on days when I had no clue what to wear, and the ones that helped me feel like myself, but a bit cooler. Let's get started.
1. Breezy But Polished
You know those days when you want to look like you made an effort… but didn't actually make an effort? This outfit is basically that. The Blythe top is light and flowy in the best way possible—like the air sort of catches it when you're walking. And the neckline? Super flattering without being overwhelming. That teeny tie at the front gives just enough shape to feel put-together, even if you tossed on an outfit in five minutes.
And then there are the Brendon pants. hear me out. They're pajamas. No kidding. But the kind of pajamas that you can totally wear in public and not look like you've given up. They're light, soft, and the wide-leg cut instantly makes you look more pulled together. I wear this for errands, walks, or lunch with friends.
Pair it with flat sandals, messy bun, gold hoops, and an iced matcha in hand. Extra points if you're pretending you're too busy for plans when in fact you just wanna run around being cute.
2. Cool Without Trying
This is that kind of top that makes me feel cooler than I really am—like, "oops, ran into an ex in a cute way" cool. The Oregon top is cropped, but not fitted. It hangs just so and has these tie-front buttons that feel low-key sexy but still easy. It's basically the "yes, I've got my life together" top.
I pair it with the Slater shorts, which have totally usurped the place as my warm-weather staple. They are longer than normal cutoffs (thank you very much), and the carpenter pockets add that little something. And they're recycled cotton, so I get to feel smugly superior while still being cute. Double victory.
I throw on oversized sunnies, chunky sandals, a slick pony, and do my best don’t talk to me unless you’re cute and bringing coffee attitude.
Easy, But Make It Elegant
This for the "I'm so tired but still need to look like a functioning member of society" days. The Genevieve dress is basically magic. It's draped perfectly, the deep V makes you look tall and refined (despite being 5'3" like me), and there's this teeny cut-out at the back that adds just a touch of edge.
I once wore it with dripping-wet hair, no makeup, and sandals—and received a compliment. The TKEES Mariana sandals are my go-to minimalist style of shoe. They're plush right out of the box, no need to break them in, and they somehow bring together the entire aesthetic.
Gold studs, a canvas tote, and that breezy, “I’m just floating through the day” kind of energy? Perfection.
Polished, But So Chill
When I want to look like I tried, but also feel like I could lie down at any second, this combo’s my go-to. The Christen top is fitted but not tight, and the ruching gives it this flattering, waist-hugging shape. The neckline is high but not stiff—it’s giving elevated tee energy.
I pair it with the Leon crop pants because oh my god, they’re so comfy. That soft, gauzy fabric is basically summer’s version of sweatpants, and the elastic waistband? A dream. I could nap in these. And I have.
Neutral sandals, chunky hoops, a swipe of gloss, and you’re done. It looks intentional but feels like loungewear. Honestly, 10/10.
Sweet, But Not Soft
This outfit has major rom-com energy. Like I’m about to bump into someone while holding a baguette and laugh adorably. The Carmine top has all the romantic details—ruffles, flutter sleeves, a pretty neckline—but the dark floral print keeps it from being too sweet. It’s a little bit flirty, a little bit cool.
The Getty wide-leg jeans are the kind you put on and instantly feel taller. They hug at the waist, flare out in the most flattering way, and that cuffed hem? Chef’s kiss. It gives the whole look this tailored, confident vibe that I’m obsessed with.
I finish it off with glossy lips, dainty earrings, and that “just let your hair do whatever it wants today” mindset.
Twirl-Worthy and Totally Chill
I wore this one when a simple lunch plan spiraled into dinner, a beach walk, and late-night drinks—and I never once wished I’d worn something else. The Loulou dress is a literal dream. It cinches at the waist so you feel put together, but the tiers make it ridiculously comfy and easy to move in. Also: it twirls. And we love a twirly dress moment.
I paired it with the TKEES Phoebe sandals, which are minimal, comfy, and just strappy enough to stay put while still looking delicate. I’ve walked miles in these without regrets.
Slicked-back hair, a little bronzer, maybe a woven tote, and I’m out the door feeling like summer is mine.
