Symmetrical or Asymmetrical Tops
Once again, summer fashion shows that its versatility is unmatched than any other time of year. As you are perusing the summer sales online or in the retail store, find an array of symmetrical and asymmetrical tops to add to your closet for the rest of the season. Anything from a halter to a tube top looks great at a fancy restaurant or at your best friend’s backyard barbecue.
Getting a top that hangs off of one shoulder or both, is also a great way to spice up a pair of shorts and with the right pair of sandals, you have a killer outfit that will make you look and feel comfortable while making you look and feel elegant.
Get a Kaftan
Kaftans are the height of comfort. Many will look at a kaftan and think of their grandmother playing MahJong with the ladies. Let it be known that the kaftan has come a long way. Companies like Kaftko have made kaftans for men that are all the rage. Kaftans are light and airy and they are perfect for spending time poolside with friends while enjoying amazing summer cocktails.
Kaftans are great for throwing over bathing suits and running to the store or lounging around in the shade of an umbrella as you enjoy poolside bites. In an array of patterns and colors, the kaftan is where it’s at.
Sunglasses
If you’re like most people, your sunglasses easily break and get lost. There is no need to spend hundreds on sunglasses. It’s always great to have an amazing pair that you can wear to special events, but for tooling around town or hanging on the beach with friends, get a cheap pair. You will find that corner stores and drug stores all sell great looking sunglasses for super cheap.
Even though the price tag is low, the look looks designer. Get a few pairs, and never run out of options and never run out of coverage for your eyes. Depending on the shape of your face will determine if you need a smaller frame, wider frame, or a heart-shaped frame that will accentuate your gorgeous features and your outfit.
Beach Totes
You totes need a great beach tote for the summer. It never hurts to carry the essentials with you all summer. Those essentials are a hat, an umbrella, a small towel, a kaftan, and sunblock. Having these items at the ready all summer long is a must have to ensure you are playing safe in the sun and prepared for any unexpected adventures.
Beach totes are also great to use as an everyday bag where you can keep your wallet and other accessories. Matched with the right outfit, you will always look summery and always look as if you just arrived from the beach. It’s a good look to go with your gorgeous tan or your summer hair.
Don’t Forget Your Hair
Just because it’s hot doesn’t mean that you have to pull your hair back and forget about your hairstyle. There are a bunch of ways to decorate your beautiful summer hair. Decorative bobby pins are great, hair scrunchies, scarves, and hair ties. Having these items will help your styled hair stay in place while adding the perfect touch to your outfit. You will continue to look light and breezy as you travel through the warm weather.
There are so many other things you can add and pick up for your summer wardrobe that speak to your unique style and will bring your vibe together in a smart and interesting way.
