How to Get Stylish and Comfortable In Summer

The Ideal Summer Clothing

Starting with a Light and Breezy Base

Comfort begins with summer vacation style. If your clothing hits the high water mark when temperatures climb, it should be light, breathable, and easy to move in with you. So a linen button-down shirt, cotton tank top or a flowy blouse are just a good first step because they allow air to move around all day and help keep you cool. Pair your top with relaxed shorts, a midi skirt or wide-leg pants and you have a lightweight vacation look. Neutral colors — white, beige, soft blue, sandy tan — work best as they reflect sunlight and can go with pretty much anything in your travel bag. The idea is that an outfit should feel casual, and yet sophisticated enough to make a trip to see a sightseeing destination, a beach café or even an off-the-cuff shot.

Select Destination-Vibe Bottoms

Your summer bottoms should feel practical without sacrificing style. For those who are not sure whether shopping for something at shopping markets, strolling on your local coastline and/or having outdoor lunches, pick anything that won’t cling or wrinkle as easily. High-waisted linen shorts keep it classic while a soft wrap skirt adds something girly. On evening strolls or breezy dinners, lightweight palazzo pants can take you that step further in a more comfortable outfit without the need to consider how it will fit in. Prints — tropical florals, stripes, soft geometric patterns — that punctuate the vibe can inject a bit of personality into the look, especially paired with a casual top. A good vacation outfit should also flow from day to night, with a few minor edits.

Include the correct Shoes and Accessories

A summer vacation outfit could make or break you if it has uncomfortable shoes. Comfortable sandals, espadrilles or stylish sneakers will sit well on the long days of searching. Avoid shoes you won’t be slipping into on your trip, because so often a holiday requires more walking than you realize. Accessories have to be beautiful, practical. A wide-brim hat protects your face from the sun, and it also gives your ensemble a chic resort look. Sunglasses are awesome, a woven tote or crossbody bag will store your essentials closer to your body and won’t put a load on it. Jewelry would likely have to be the bare minimum: gold hoops, shell bracelets, even a fine necklace. These little details really, really add up to a beautiful look without being overdone.

Bring It All Into a Full-Flavor

This includes a light layer that is always worth packing, even in the summer. Restaurants that are air-conditioned, evening cool and cool air on a beach walk can be a surprisingly lightweight cover-up or kimono. A denim jacket, sheer cardigan or oversized linen shirt will add dimension to your outfit without distracting you or anyone else from your real life and reality. Make summer vacation wear easy, confident, and versatile. It needs to allow you to bask during hours without ever changing your outfit or reconsidering your comfort.
