Summer 2017 is already bringing the heat. Dressing for warmer temperatures doesn’t have to be a struggle, especially now that we have the luxury of websites like Pinterest, where you can make your own style board. When searching for summer style, it’s common to find typical summer attire – shorts, sandals, sleeveless tops, etc. However, summer doesn’t have to be all about showing skin. Here are some ways to be stylish and a bit conservative in the age of minimalism.
Jean skirts are back and better than ever. Check out Nordstrom Rack, 4036 Eastgate Dr., Orlando, FL 32839, to find jean skirts that fit your style. Pair your favorite with a plain white T-shirt and some wedges, and you’re on your way to being comfortable and cute at the same time. Speaking of denim, jorts (jean shorts) are also back like they never left. I like this style because it shows off your shape without being too short. Pair them with a pair of Converse sneakers and a crossbody bag for a fun summer vibe. Jean jackets also are a fan favorite. Banana Republic Factory Store at Waterford Lakes is a staple for finding good quality jean jackets.
Summertime is also skirt season. However, you don’t always have to show off your legs. Wearing a wrap skirt is a great idea if you’re looking to be cool and stylish. Maxi skirts never go out of style, especially in Florida. Flowy maxi skirts with your favorite cotton tank top will always be a staple if you’re in a rush.
Traveling in Style
Ahhh, summer. The beach, the lake and the pool – they all bring summer fun in the most relaxing of ways. Whether you’re traveling by car, plane or boat, there are plenty of ways to plan your outfit ahead of time. Traveling is a blast, but if you pack the wrong items, it can quickly turn exhausting. Here are some travel style do’s and don’ts:
DO: Wear something comfortable to travel in; think comfortable enough to sit for a few hours. If you’re traveling by plane, wear something that has good circulation.
DO: Choose something you have worn before that looks good on you for your travel time, as you want to arrive on your vacation looking flawless!
DO: Pack a sweater or socks, especially if you’re traveling by plane. Learning how to layer can make or break your travel time.
DON’T: Overpack; plan your outfits by day, time of day, and event.
DON’T: Be afraid to carry your favorite bag or new tote; now is the chance to see how it travels, and if you want to make a different bag choice for your next trip.
DON’T: Forget your fedora or sun hat!
