Need some help with summer outfit completer pieces? Check out these before and after pictures of some basic outfits, and outfit completer pieces that helped the outfits feel finished.

Outfit completer pieces make an outfit feel finished

Let’s talk about outfit completer pieces. Outfit completers are pieces you add to an outfit to help it feel finished, and beyond just the basics.

During the fall and winter, and even in the spring, layers are easy outfit completer, but during the hotter months it’s harder when you don’t have the option to add a layer. Trust me, no one is wearing layers in Texas summer heat!

But finishing an outfit is just as important in the summer. Check out these four ideas for completing a summer outfit.

1. Complete an outfit with a belt

A belt is one of my favorite outfit completer from summer. It’s the best way to accentuate your waist, especially with swing dresses, so you don’t drown in a boxy or loose dress!  If you need more help with wearing belts I have a whole post about wearing belts HERE.

Check out the before and after outfits below and see how a belt completes a dress outfit.

2. Complete a summer outfit with a baseball cap

A baseball cap is a great option for completing summer outfits, plus it’s a saver for dirty hair days. If you’re new to baseball caps, a simple black cap is a perfect versatile place to start. But I love fun ones too.

See how a baseball cap add some personality and completes a simple shorts and top look.

3. Add a headband to complete a summer outfit

I love headbands with summer outfits because they keep your hair back and also they just look so fun. You can see my favorite headbands HERE.

Look how a headband completely transforms a simple skirt and bodysuit outfit, and helps bring attention up to my face!

Some simple jewelry is an easy way to complete an outfit. Just add a few strands, or some fun earrings, or a stack of bracelets, and instantly your outfit feels complete.

Check out this before and after to see what a difference a tiny bit of jewelry around the neck makes!
