Summer is code for a lot of things: beach days, sunny weather, cocktails alfresco, and, of course, pool parties. As for the latter, we've got you covered in the what-to-wear department. The most important things to remember? It's all about keeping your bikini bright, your outfit light, and your accessories even lighter. Forget sky-high heels (you're going swimming, right?), embrace the full spectrum of the color wheel, and make sure to come bearing UV-ray protection (hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, and so on). The rest of this seasonal ensemble equation is up to you. To inspire your pool-party panache, we've styled up three examples of what to wear. Click through to see and shop them all now.

One-Minute Makeover Tip: Layer Up With a Vest

To save you from ever uttering the words, I have nothing to wear, we've culled our fashionable community and the style savvy wisdom of our editors to bring you a no-muss, no-fuss, one-minute makeover and effortlessly transform the pieces you already have tucked away in your closet. Today, we're setting our sights on an easy way to boost your Fall style: layer up with a vest.

Fab reader BrittandWhit proves, with three very different looks, the vest is an extremely versatile way to add dimension to any look. Add a knit vest and cinch with a belt for street-chic wear, a shearling-lined vest for boho flavor, or even a trench style for a more polished finish — the options are endless.
With the onset of cooler weather, the added layer will help protect you (stylishly) against the cold.
A vest is a super-easy way to transition from day to night. Just add a denim or leather version for a cool, downtown vibe over a dress or top.
Experiment with a trend in smaller doses, for instance, add a great faux fur vest to your denim to easily channel this season's call to the '70s.
