Keep Your Personal Style
School’s out, the pool’s open, and it’s time for a more casual summer lifestyle!
As the temperature climbs and we shed layers, it can be harder to look put together. It is very tempting in the summer to give up on our personal style and adopt a ‘throw on and go’ approach to getting dressed. But you can keep your style and still look fabulous in the heat.
How To Elevate An Outfit This Summer
- Lighten up your color palette: This is the time of year to enjoy color in your outfit! Give your greys and blacks a rest by swapping them out for white or bright colors. Even your beloved black and white combos will look fresher with a pop of color. Does a bold print scare you? Isolate it into one piece and keep the rest of your outfit a neutral color such as white or black.
- Summer Handbag: Add an inexpensive rattan handbag, clutch, or straw tote to put yourself in a beachy state of mind!
- Slides or sandals: The best part about summer shoes? Saying goodbye to heels and enjoying the comfort of flats or summer slides. Need a little height? Wear flatforms or a shorter block heel. Don’t forget your pedicure! Who What Wear’s list of 19 pedicure nail colors for summer ranges from neutrals to pop colors and black to white. Translation: any color goes—pick the one you love.
- Go a little boho with your jewelry: Even your jewelry should be more casual. Necklaces in beachy colors, dangly earrings, or beaded bracelets will summer-ize any outfit. No need to go overboard, just one piece will make a statement.
- Sunglasses! Take advice from ZZ Top and get yourself “some cheap sunglasses”. Jackie O-sized frames will help release your inner movie star and are just fun to wear.
