With the summer heat beating down on you and the temperature feeling like a hundred degrees outside, it can be tempting to just stay indoors in your PJs and chill.
But I love summer, and sun, and all things hot (cue Olaf)!
I tend to wander around the city all day during my summer vacations and I don’t want to be weighed down by heavy clothes and accessories.
If you're wondering what you should wear this summer, check out these tips….
Skip the skinnies
Skinny jeans make your legs look great, but they're just too constricting for the summer heat.
Opt for pants in lighter fabrics like cotton. You can go flowy or fitted, they both work equally well.
Skirt your way through the streets
Skirts are a great way of staying cool and looking trendy at the same time.
There are so many styles to choose from…You can wear flowy maxis for that oh-so-boho vibe, structured midis which are always in style or trendy minis and flaunt your legs.
Skirts are really versatile and there's a skirt for every occasion.
Get shorty!
Shorts are by far, the most summery piece ever. You can pair them with tons of different tops and style them in so many ways.
Get some in different fabrics and colors to channel that sweet summer look.
You can also get pairs in different lengths to mix things up a bit. I personally like the mid-thigh length, but you should stick to whatever looks good on you.
Tanks ,Tees and Blouses
Tanks are a life savior during summer. They are really lightweight and they can be paired with a lot of outerwear for different occasions or just be worn by themselves.
I own a huge array of tanks in bright colors besides the regular black and white.
The same goes for T-shirts.
You can experiment with pretty tops and blouses in pastel shades like white, blush, pink and lavender for an elegant look or go all out summery with bold prints, neons and florals.
Dresses
I am dress-obsessed all year round! I just can't have enough of them. I think maxi dresses are just perfect for the summer and the least fussy too. I love bright prints and patterns and even the single bold colored ones which you can accessorize with long necklaces for that boho vibe.
Keep accessories light
I don't like the feeling of heaviness that a lot of accessories come with during these hot months.
Save those chunky short necklaces for another time. Stick to long string necklaces, dangly earrings and super cute stackable bracelets to feel free and still look well put-together.
And like Coco Chanel said, take off one accessory before you leave the house, you don't want to look like you're going to a costume party.
I hope these tips helped you and you're ready with your awesome summer closet. These are just my views, you can totally wear skinnies and heavy accessories if you love it and look amazing.
Style is not wearing "the right clothes", but wearing what makes you feel confident, pretty and comfortable.
Have a great summer!
