The weather is starting to get warmer and your mailbox is getting filled up with invitations for outdoor summer parties, from weddings and graduation parties to barbeques and patio/pool parties. So once you've RSVP'd to all these get togethers, the question becomes "What do I wear?" Don't frett, we've got you covered for that ideal outfit for all your events on your summer calendar.
1. Search for clothes that keep you cool
- For the more casual get togethers, a sundress or romper in fabrics like cotton or rayon will keep you cool on those warm summer days. Find outfits in bright colors or fun patterns to mix it up a bit.
2. Give your LBD the night off
-Go with a classic and chic cocktail dress for a wedding. Try to opt for some color, so you're not blending in with all the "Little Black Dresses." If you must wear black, add bold and colorful jewelry to give it a twist.
3. Wear comfortable shoes
-I don't know about you, but I don't sit much at social events, unless I'm eating. I like wearing heels, but they can be brutal on your feet. Look for wedges and thicker heels so you'll be more comfortable. If you're going casual, instead of throwing on a pair of flip flops, put on a cute pair of flat sandals that will keep you comfortable and look great at the same time.
4. Take along a light sweater or cardigan
- I'm always cold, so I bring along something to keep me warm when the sun goes down or head inside where the air conditioning is on full blast. A summer weight cardigan or sweater in a neutral color is perfect to bring along with you.
So whether you're going to a casual get together or a fancy soiree, make sure you are wearing something you feel good in and of course look great too!
