Summer is just around the corner and we just can’t wait to feel the sun’s rays warming our skin. The summer season is one of the most awaited times of the year and for good reason: It’s sundress and shorts time!
In this article, you will learn more about how to achieve the perfect #OOTD this summer. So, sit back, relax and heed the waves’ call! Continue reading below to learn more and don’t forget to take mental notes.
1) Bringing Back Denim
Well, surprise! If you are one of those denim fans out there who just can’t get enough of jeans, fret not because you can still wear denim and stay cool this summer season. Denim skirts and shorts are your best friend this summer. Pair your favourite denim with a low-cut sneakers of choice (preferably white) and a simple, airy sleeveless top for a cutesy but cool look.
2) Accessorize Wisely
It’s summer but it doesn’t mean you can’t wear your beloved jewelry! However, given the warmer temperatures of summer, you need to pick your accessories wisely. The experts at Love & Promise Jewelers recommend to stay away from cheap costume jewelry that can turn green when in contact with sweat. This can ruin a perfect OOTD and make you look tacky. Instead, go for pieces that are high-quality and elegant. Choose a simple necklace that is both easy on the eyes as well as flattering on your neck.
3) Sundresses
Of course, summer will not be complete without sundresses. The thing to love the most about sundresses is that they are very versatile. You can dress them up with pair of stilettos and you’re ready for a summer night-out with the girls. You can also play it more casual and pair them with white sneakers or a pair of flats for a boho chic look.
In choosing a sundress, you should consider your body type for a more flattering fit. Of course, women with hourglass figures can pull off just about any style of dress. However, if you want to emphasize and show off those curves, wraparound summer dresses are the best choice.
If you are a pear-shaped gal, you may want to show off those beautiful hips with A-line sundresses. This creates an illusion of a narrower waist and an irresistible curve. Lastly, if you are an apple-shaped woman with a thick middle, you may want to consider creating the impression of a more elongated torso by drawing attention away from the waist.
4) Go For Pastel Colors
Look and feel cool with pastel colors this summer. Pastel colors have a cooling effect on the eyes. Unlike the darker colors on the color spectrum, lighter colors absorb less heat and are easier on the eyes especially during warmer weather. Pair them with neutral colors like white or beige and see how chic your outfit can look.
5) Go Easy On The Makeup
Next to hydration, sunscreen is the most important thing that your skin needs this summer season. After moisturizing with an oil-free moisturizer, apply a liberal amount of sunscreen before putting on your foundation.
Moreover, go easy on the makeup. Summer isn’t fun when you have heavy makeup melting off your face. Instead of a full coverage foundation, a dewy BB Cream or tinted moisturizer is a better fit for the humid months of the season.
