How to Style Yourself for Summer

The heat is settling in fast and robust- and with it comes a need for a change of clothes.  Long gone are the cute spring jackets, and far away are the books of autumn.  Now's the time for sheer fabrics, loose dresses, and other cooler fashion.  If you're at a complete loss for what to wear but want to give off a summery feeling- here are some simple, stylish looks anyone can put together.

Classic Summer Cuteness

There are a lot of ageless looks, and because of that, they should be in everyone's wardrobe.  These outfits have been stylish for at least the last fifty years, and they'll keep going as long as people keep wearing them.

Shorts and a short sleeve button down are an inseparable pair.  There have been many iterations of this, like the shirt being a belly shirt, or how modern summer goers are still really into rompers- but the rule stands.  The shorts should be simple, either jean shorts or some other kind of one-tone shorts.  The shirt should be a button-down with a pattern or color you like.  You can tuck the shirt, tie it off, or let it sit freely, depending on what you want to wear.

Other classic summer outfits are the midi dress, a sundress, or shorts and a tank top.  Dresses, in particular, are a summer look that can't grow old.  They keep you fresh, come in thousands of styles, and let you show off your body however you want.

Modern summer looks are far more form-fitting than glimpses of the past.  Yoga pants, tights, and bike shorts are a part of everyday fashion instead of relegating them to the home gym.  This crisp and thin sweat-wicking fabric will help keep you fresh- whether you're running a marathon or shopping around in South Carolina heat for Charleston houses for sale

Other modern summer looks that you should dip into to cool off are like large baggy shirts tucked into tight pants to recreate a romantic and flowy look.  Sheer fabrics layered over bright tank tops, and tee-shirts are a top style, the looser and flowier the sheer material, the better.

The colors most people are into this summer are bright white and black.  These two classic colors can be combined in any number of ways. 

What You Should Wear

This query is the ultimate question- what do you need in your outfit so that you feel like it's complete?  The answer may be as simple as it is cliche.  Without confidence in what you're wearing, and in yourself, no outfit will work.  Take the time to grow confidence in yourself, and find outfits that make you feel good.  As long as they keep you fresh in the hot summer sun and feel good, there's nothing better. 

Summer is a time for growth, friends, and having fun in ways the summer doesn't allow.  Don't let clothes drag you down or hold you back, and don't be afraid to try new things.
