Enhancing the already stunning weather with a well put together and polished outfit is key to making the most of the summer months. Let’s walk though the perfect (to me!) summer day, with outfits to harmonize.
Morning
Rise and shine! We have a workout class to go to! Starting your day by moving your body in whatever way makes sense to you will set you up to feel energized for the entirety of your day. This may be a yoga class, walk in the park, weightlifting, or a run! A comfy capri mixed with a simple tank and a thick colorful headband will give you an elevated outfit that enables your body to move freely. Grab your favourite drink and let’s move!
Noon
Next, it’s time to enjoy this weather by wandering through the Farmer’s Market with friends. Surrounded by fresh produce with live local music playing, we will wander around and soak up all that summer has to offer. Let’s pair this feeling with an outfit that embodies summer. Coloured polka dots are making their way into trends, and add a youthful vibrancy to any outfit. A top with a ruffle or a fun neckline to accommodate the summer heat will give you a free and flowy feel, and could be matched with a pair of white or cream flowy linen pants. Linen is a great summer material, allowing your skin to breathe to ensure comfort while walking.
Add a jelly sandal in a bright summer color to pull together the outfit, and you’re done! Restocking on fresh produce and catching up with close friends in a fit that makes you feel good is the perfect summer mid-day hang.
Night
It’s towards the end of the day and the summer evening has begun. The air is sweet and warm, and the bustling city has slowed its pace. You have a date! We are having a picnic in the park this evening, complete with your favourite snacks and a cozy blanket. Let’s put on a flirty outfit to savour this summer heat and maybe lock in a kiss at the end of the night! Beaded pieces are such a staple piece to add to your summer wardrobe, adding an intricacy that amplifies your look. A midi-skirt with some beaded accents might be paired with a simple and flattering top, like a tube or tank top in a white or black. This will emphasize the details on the skirt, and allow you to keep cool and comfortable.
Let’s accessorize with a fun bag and funky shoes. Sequins are making a big comeback this summer and would be a fun choice to match this vibe. With your sequined bag we could add a platform sandal, comfy yet refined. With a playful tone, this summer outfit has romantic details that will have you glowing on your date.
This summer is one of comfort and colour, with statement pieces that feel like you and move with you. Thank you for joining me today, let’s do it again tomorrow!
