Regardless of whether you’re jetting off to an exotic location or simply enjoying the season from your hometown, summertime style is all about being laidback and carefree. Although our favourite models are best known for taking over the runways and stunning in the latest designer campaigns, they also look just as beautiful in casual chic attire. We’ve rounded up a few A-list models for you to draw your summer vacation style inspiration from, as we prepare to soak up the sunshine in the weeks ahead.

Alessandra Ambrosio

The Brazilian beauty looks like the absolute bombshell in this summery outfit from her recent getaway to Capri, Italy. Perfectly suited for a European summer holiday, Ambrosio poses casually with an ice cream cone and a jaunty straw hat on her hat. In addition to her choice of chapeau, we are liking her white halter crop top, printed red breezy trousers and tiny sunglasses. Meanwhile, her woven shoulder bag with white leather accents wraps up her boho chic, Euro trip look of the day.

Elsa Hosk

There’s no denying that the 29-year-old Swedish model is incredibly stunning on the Victoria’s Secret catwalk, but we find ourselves drawn to her casual outfits most of all. Hosk is effortlessly stylish in this floral printed one-piece swimsuit with an open back and a vivid colour scheme. For a finishing touch, she completes her vintage style suit with a pair of mint green cat eye sunglasses and a matching hair clip.

Lily Aldridge

Brunette stunner Lily Aldridge is a fashionable sight in this daytime outfit recently worn in Los Angeles. Staying true to the spirit of L.A. cool, Aldridge sports a sleeveless maxi dress with an allover print. The model accessorizes her long, bohemian dress with a simple woven straw bag, proving that minimalism can be truly chic during the dog days of summer.
