Tips for Putting Together a Fashionable Summer Outfit

A fashionable summer outfit is often less about the emerging trends, and more about how they look on you. Here are some great tips for how to put together a fashionable summer outfit:

Think fit: How clothes fit you is far more important than what the clothes themselves look like. Even if they are not the most stylish brand, or the best print or color, if they flatter your body, and do what you want them to do (highlight certain areas, minimize other areas, draw attention to your face, etc.) then they are a great start to a fashionable summer outfit. So, choose clothing that is the right size and cut for your body, and that fit your body type well.

Think shoes: Did you know that people often look at shoes as one of the first things when evaluating someone’s outfit? So, if you want a fashionable summer outfit, take advantage of the numerous good looking shoes available. Choose something that is fun, that is cute, that has a bit of embellishment or pizzazz, something to give your outfit that little something extra. For example, a basic summer sandal is kicked up a notch when it is topped with a rosette, or has a great bow on it. Look for detailing, but also make sure it is comfortable.

Think accessories. Part of a fashionable summer outfit is the right accessories. Since you wear sunglasses frequently in the summer, make them part of your summer outfit accessories. Great bangle bracelets, the right earrings, a fun necklace, an anklet, a hat, handbag, or flower for your hair are all great ways to take an otherwise basic outfit and kick it up to fabulous and fashionable. Just remember the rule of thumb that states that you accessorize more if you wear plain clothing. So, if you wear a shirt with a lot going on, you will want to scale back on the accessories.

Choose summer colors: part of getting a fashionable summer outfit together is choosing something that is summer colors. Yellows, blues, greens, all embody summer, and make you look more summer-y while staying fashionable and fun.

Choose cotton: There is nothing fashionable about sweating, having sweat stains, or stench coming off of you because your clothes do not breathe well, and your sweat gets trapped. Choose summer clothes that are from natural materials like cotton so that they can breathe, and you will look and feel your best in them.

Choose things that fit your body: Summer styles include shorts, capris, t-shirts, and tanks. If you are short, choose shorter shorts rather than capris, if you have thick arms, t-shirts might be more flattering than tank tops. Choose the clothing that looks best on you, and you will feel more fashionable, and thus look more fashionable.
