SUMMER is slowly coming to this part of the world and it is time to gear up and get ready for the season.
To enjoy a hot summer day, you need to be dressed comfortably.
This season, for it to be absolutely unforgettable, you need to invest in the following fashion items rr add to some of the summer wardrobe classics you already have.
SUNGLASSES
We cannot talk about the summer without mentioning the sunglasses, they are a summer fashion staple.
A fashion accessory that will keep your eyes safe from the sun rays while levelling up your look at the same time.
Ensure that your sunglasses suit your particular face shape for a better appeal.
For a round face, wear oversized glasses in the shape of square, mostly rectangular.
For an oval face, wear mid-sized to large glasses in a rectangular shape and round shape.
For a square face, large oval and round shaped glasses are the best.
And for the heart-shaped face, the cat eye shapes and aviators would be the most ideal.
AFRICAN PRINT
African print is not only distinctively beautiful but also lightweight, mostly made out of cotton (a fabric that’s cool to wear and ideal for summer).
Invest in a shirt or a dress, blazer, shorts, trousers, a hat or any print item of your choice.
Print will make you look absolutely vibrant and energetic, style up and mix and match with some solid colour clothing items you already have in your wardrobe, for best results.
BUTTON DOWN SHIRT
Button down shirts are a classic wardrobe must-have and they are essential for the summer season.
A linen button down is the best pick as it hangs well on a body plus the fabric is cool to wear and not irritable on the skin, it screams silent class.
Cotton button downs are also a good pick, easy going with timeless elegance.
White is a must-have but you can add other vibrant colours like orange red, cherry red, tangerine green or pastel colours like powder pink, pistachio green, icy blue or the neutrals like beige, ashy grey or butter yellow.
SUN HATS
Summer is the season for hats, a sun hat is an essential and a must-have warm season accessory. The best hats for this season are the straw hats and wide brim hats for women, the straw panama hats and fedora hats are popular with men.
Other options are the baseball cap, bucket hats, cowboy hats and fishing hats for a wider selection. Elevate your look with a hat of your particular style and look good.
WIDE LEGGED PANTS
The wide legged pants are in style and trendy, a great choice that suits all body types. The wide legs come in different cuts which are made to sit well on women’s bodies.
The cuts which are great for men and children are silhouette.
Linen wide-legged pants are the top notch summer choice, while tailored, lightweight denim is a great option.
MAXI DRESS
This one is for the classy lady who knows the language of fashion.
A maxi dress is a summer essential, a must-have for that hot summer day with your sunglasses and a beautiful wide brim sunhat.
Go for the flowy linen, cotton dress or chiffon for that feminine, elegant and classy look.
Invest in a maxi dress and you will not regret it.
