With things heating up in the Southern Hemisphere, it's time to look at that tired winter wardrobe and start replacing jumpers and jeans with fresh summer pieces.
Although approaches will differ, a great idea is to focus on light fabrics, spicing them up with some eye-catching jewelry and stunning footwear. Not only will this keep you cool and practical, it will also allow you to dance the night away on those warm summer nights without ending up looking like you've just put 2 hours of cardio in at the gym.
The general tactic for dressing up in summer (while trying to dress down to stay cool) is to stick with layering and lightness. Floral dresses or slouchy pants are great. Add a small, light jacket for those nights that can get a little breezy and you are set to go all night. Bold patterns and / or outstanding accessories are the way to set-off your ensemble.
Shorts are an under-appreciated asset. If you're yet to adopt shorts or don't feel the cut works for you, try on some summer pants. The most important thing when choosing pants for summer is the length. For day-to-day pants, look for wide legged pants in cotton or linen. To complement your pants, go with a light cotton t-shirt. This will provide plenty of breathability for those warm summer days. If you're looking for something a little more "businessy", a blouse that buttons-up is a perfect match.
These basic tips should help you in choosing your summer fashions for the upcoming months. And remember, the best place to buy summer designer clothing is online!
