For many of us, this summer is still a stay close to home summer and that means it’s time to start thinking about what you’re going to wear when you’re at home chilling in the garden or having family round for a barbeque. You might be tempted to just throw on a pair of shorts and some sandals, but there are plenty of other options out there! In this article, I’m going to talk about different resources, styles, and tips for the at-home lifestyle that will help make your summer more enjoyable.
A few Summer Style Tips
– Be sure to keep an eye out for the latest fashion trends. Check out your local shopping centres, fashion magazines, online stores, etc. to see what’s trending! For example, there is a 70’s trend sweeping the fashion industry as of lately so take a wander around your favourite shop for some bold patterns and colours!
– A good way to update your summer wardrobe is by getting new sunglasses. You can find some fantastic ones at most department stores and if you’re looking for something more unique, then just do an online search of anything along the lines of “cool summer sunglasses” or “super trendy shades.”
– You may also want to invest in a new summer hat or two. With summer bringing heat waves and beaming rays (fingers crossed), you have to protect your skin. Even if you will be lounging at home, you may find yourself on the patio or balcony needing some UV protection.
– Stick with what you know and invest in a few good pieces that will last all summer long, like denim shorts, a fabulous sundress, or a fun new bikini.
– Find your favourite colour (or colours) and don’t be afraid to be bold with them! Pairing bold colours together is a daring look, but it’s one worth testing out even if it’s just for a post on the gram! However, light colours are best for hot days.
– For the ultimate summer style, find some great accessories that will complement your outfit perfectly. Accessories can include hats, earrings, belts, and jewelry.
– Have fun with it! Summer fashion is all about having fun and experimenting – if something doesn’t work for you then don’t be afraid to try again next week! You might just find your new favourite look.
Best Magazines to find Summer Fashion Styles
There are some phenomenal fashion magazines that will have seasonal editions with all the newest clothes and accessories for summer, so you’ll always be on top of what’s happening in style.
The fashion industry is fully aware that many of its followers are still living much of their life at home, so a lot of their designs right now are tailored to that demographic. You’ll notice a lot of looser clothes making headway in stores such as flowy dresses, baggy shorts, cargo-style pants, and lightweight tops. This is the industry’s way of acknowledging that we may all be at home, but we still want to look cute!
