In this summer holiday style guide, we’ll be covering everything you need to know about dressing for this season. Scroll down to see our tips and tricks for creating a cohesive summer style as laidback as the season itself.

Basics: The Right Pieces For Your Wardrobe

Preparing for summer can be fraught with difficulty. And finding clothes is one of them. Thankfully this style guide will sift through the nonsense to prepare you for enjoying the sun with confidence. However, before you overhaul your style this summer, the first thing to do is take stock of your current wardrobe. To help you get started, here are our recommendations for 4 core wardrobe items every stylish woman should have in their closet this summer.

A Pair Of Chinos

The perfect alternative to jeans on those warm but not hot days. Chinos are comfortable, casual, and come in a variety of colors and patterns.

A Pair Of Shorts

For when the weather is scorching. And we don’t mean the cargo shorts you used to wear as a kid.

A Lightweight Blazer

To instantly smarten up an otherwise casual look. Whether you button it up or leave it open and unbuttoned, a blazer is a great way to stay stylish and comfortable. We recommend one in a neutral, light color like navy or grey.

A Plain White T-Shirt

A wardrobe staple that will be easy to mix and match with all your other summer outfits.

Find The Right Fit (And Don’t Be Afraid To Experiment)

When it comes to fit, there are few absolutes. While a certain fit may work for one person, it won’t necessarily work for everybody. You could be a size 12 and 5’10”, and somebody else who is also a size 12 and 5’10” might be too small to fit into the same size as you. Finding the right fit means discovering the best size and style for your body type.

For example, if you have long legs, you might look better in jeans that are a little looser around the calves. And if you have shorter legs, you might look better in jeans that are a little looser around the hips. If you’re tall, you’ll want to look for great cover ups for tall girls to find the perfect summer outfit.

Light And Breathable Fabrics

For all but the chilliest of days, you’ll want to be rocking lightweight fabrics like cotton and linen. Both of these fabrics will keep you cool and comfortable in all but the most extreme weather conditions. They’re also both effortless to care for and iron. Other fabrics you should keep an eye out for are cotton and cottons blends such as selvedge denim. You can also try linen blends, denim blends, and lightweight wool.

Don’t Be Afraid Of Color

You might feel like you need to tone down your outfits during the day to avoid looking too flashy. But don’t be afraid of colour! Colors are the easiest way to add personality to an otherwise basic outfit. Mixing and matching different colors within an outfit is a great way to individualize your look without going overboard. It’s also a straightforward way to add seasonal flair to your outfits. Try incorporating them into your accessories if you’re worried about rocking seasonal colors like red, green, and yellow.

Wrapping Up

To create a summer style as laidback as the season itself, you’ll want to focus on lightweight fabrics, neutral colors, and easy-to-mix patterns (think gingham and striped shirts or polo shirts). And don’t be afraid to experiment with new looks, colors, and textures.

With the right wardrobe staples, you’ll be able to quickly assemble a wide range of outfits for all kinds of summer activities. And with the help of our dressing tips, you’ll be able to create looks that are as stylish as they are comfortable. Now that’s the kind of summer we can get behind!
