What can you possibly think of when someone says summer? Surely, it would be ice creams, lemonades, beers, pool parties and flip flops! Most people have a misconception that one should wear fewer and more skin revealing clothes in summer so that one doesn’t feel hot and sweaty. But here is the truth – you must wear comfortable clothes depending on how hot it is in summer. Check out these for now.
1.Tees
Cool causal tee shirts with ruffles zany cuts, funny slogans, large colorful geometric, floral, abstract prints and unusual translucent finish are great to beat the heat. To look smart and sexy, couple these tees with short cargos, shorts, hot pants or leggings.
2. Pastel colors
Paint the town red with an ensemble of bright colors in your summer closet – be it swimwear or lounge dressing. This will send out a happy vibe to people around you. Though white is the best absorbent, other pastel colors like yellow, pink, lavender, blue and light green are great for summer clothing.
3. Lightweight fabric
Fabrics like cotton, cotton-silk, linen and lycra are called light fabrics because they absorb sweat and allow air to pass through. The latest in light fabric is organic cotton which is manufactured in such a way that it just doesn’t allow the heat to seep through the cloth, keeping you cool and calm throughout the day. If you have to go for a party and don’t want to choose cotton, go for linen. This is a great fabric that will keep you light, yet extremely dressy.
4. Cropped bottoms
With the sun blazing away on your head, your best bet to remain sweat and grime free is to pull up a pair of cropped pants, cargos, capris or shorts. They are also ideal for the beach as you can simply wear them over your bikini or other swimwear. Flaunt your well toned legs with a nice pair of hip shorts.
5. Sundresses
These are trademark apparel for summers! According to your length preference, a summer dress worn with flip flops, a hat and a pair of shades would complete your stylish summer look. You can choose spaghetti straps or strapless summer dresses. Even if you prefer a longer length, it will actually benefit you as it will avoid direct exposure of your skin to the sun. Pick out dresses with halter necks or frills and flares. If you have a great collection of sundresses, it will take you less than a minute to dress up for a pool party!
6. Sarongs
If you are a little bit of a lazy dresser, then sarongs or long skirts are for you! If you plan to spend more than half a day at the pool or at the beach and don’t want to carry a nag of clothes wherever you go, all you need to do is to learn how to tie a sarong. This will keep you protected from the sun’s direct rays, yet making you look stylish. This will work well for those of you who want to hide that extra flab on the waist.
7. Jumpsuits
To stand out from the crowd, you could consider wearing one piece, single colored jumpsuits. They’ve been extremely popular this season on the celebrity circuit as well. Body tight waist up and loose like harem pants waist down, jumpsuits are very comfortable to move around in and they make a fashion statement at the same time.
8. Trousers
For formal or semi-formal occasions during summer, replace the use of synthetic pants with linen on cotton straight cut trousers. In summer, trousers will not stick to your legs and will allow your skin to breathe. Trousers are available in amazing floral prints to choose from. Accessorize this look with a nice studded buckle belt for that extra summer oomph.
9. Kaftans
The latest trend in summer wear is loose kaftans. They come in a standard large size which can even be worn by women of slim figures. Kaftans are very versatile – they can be worn as a tunic with an oversized belt, over capris or as a short dress. You can even try wearing one over harem pants for an exotic Arabic look!
10. Non-elastic clothing
Elastic in clothes can be very irritating to the skin in summer. Prolonged periods of exposure of the skin to elastic can cause itching and redness. Wear clothes that don’t touch your body and make it sweaty. Velcro, hooks, zips, stretch materials etc. are great replacements to apparel that contain elastics.
Assemble a great wardrobe for summer so that not only can you walk out to the beach in style but also protect yourself from the harshness of the weather. Create a collection which is a riot of prints, sizes, styles and colors. Flaunt your super toned tanned body and make heads turn your way! Keeping these basics in mind, you just can’t go wrong with summer fashion. It’s critical to stay comfortable otherwise you won’t be able to carry off what you’re wearing and it will all look too awkward.
