It should come as no surprise that we fell in love with Jordana Brewster's sunny daytime look from the moment we set eyes on it. Mostly because we can't stop talking about our summertime obsession with tie-front tops, as evidenced here and here. On this occasion, the starlet put a uniquely feminine and flirty spin on the look by pairing a sweet cream-hued Ella Moss crochet skirt with a light-washed chambray button-up top. The twist, if you will? The tie-front detail, which not only allowed for just the right amount of midriff-baring, gave the girlie ensemble a slightly edgier feel, too. Since the shirt and skirt both provide ample textural interest, the rest of the outfit's accents — a chain-strap bag and nude flip-flops — can err on the side of breezy minimalism. We can't think of an easier way to achieve a simple Summer-perfect look (well, until the next stylish celeb proves us wrong), so shop our editors' picks below to follow suit.
