Follow Lindsay Lohan's or Sienna Miller's style and take a pair of denim shorts, add a casual rock tee band and a pair of wayfarer sunglasses plus one-shoulder vintage bag to accentuate the style you've chosen.

If you have the typical gladiators with studs or zip details then you should bring more accessories into this outfit. Take a floral pop colored skirt, a tank shirt, one light colored bag and a cardigan in case it will be a bit cold. Also you can add a fedora hat or some granny-chic sunglasses.
