Hi, friends!
The hot weather is here to stay and I thought that it’ll be fun to put together this ultimate summer outfit guide to ensure that you look your very best (while still living your everyday life)!
There is no doubt that a beautiful outfit can uplift any woman’s mood! (Especially when you’re a busy mom with a bunch of errands to run every single day!) And obtaining the beautiful wardrobe shouldn’t mean that you’ve got to spend thousands of $ or compromise your comfort! Besides, I know that if I’m not comfortable there’s no way for me to Feel Beautiful!
Shirtdress / Sandals / Bag
3 Flattering +Comfortable Summer Outfits:
A Sundress
When it comes to putting together a pretty and comfy outfit, a pretty and comfy dress always tops my list! Why? First of, it’s a one-piece outfit! (That fact alone makes it an “easy to put together” outfit!). Secondary, what can be more feminine than a beautiful dress?
A light-weight sundress is just all that! Comfortable (as opposed to a tight body-con or to a rigid fitted dress), yet playful, a sundress always sets me into the summery, relaxing mood!
A Shirtdress
Similarly to the sundress, a cotton shirtdress is lightweight, airy and super comfortable! My only advice to picking a shirtdress that flatters is to get a fitted or a belted dress (as opposed to a baggy one)! 🙂 Another thing that makes this shirtdress I’m wearing here so flirty and feminine are the pretty ruffles on its sleeves and skirt! This dress is also very versatile and can be worn anywhere from office to beach!
A Full Skirt + Tank Top
My other favorite all-time favorite easy to wear, yet pretty and feminine item is a full skirt! Just as with the dress, a tight mini or a rigid pencil skirt may make you look cute and sexy, but those aren’t the most comfortables styles to wear! And there is no way for me to go run my errands in an outfit that makes me feel self-concsious and uncomfortable!
My only advice when it comes to wearing a full skirt to ensure that it looks great on you is to balance it with a rather fitted top (Because a loose top may make the whole outfit look a somewhat bulky). My first choice is a tank top! Without being too rigid or too bulky, a tank top softly hugs your body in the most comfortable way!
A Pretty Top + Shorts
Well, but what if you don’t feel like wearing a top that’s fitted? (For instance let’s say that you’re headed to a big dinner and don’t want to be worried about an item that hugs your belly too tight!)
Well, then, without being too revealing or uncomfortable a pair of well-fitted shorts can balance flouncy, loose tops perfectly! At the same time (unlike a tight skirt) a pair of shorts will never look too provocative to make you self-conscious! (OK, unless of course these shorts are TOO tight! But you don’t have to wear those to look great! Because well, unless you don’t care at all about the comfort! Right? )
Oh, and my final tip to putting together the pretty+comfy summer outfit: it’s all about trying it on! Because no matter how great a dress looks on a model, there is no way to tell how it’ll look on you before you try it on, look in the mirror and give it an honest assessment!
Happy Summer, guys! 🙂
That dress is so cute, you look gorgeous but comfy too! What a lovely outfit! Love your tips and always love seeing recommendations!!
Thank you dear Debra! It was so sweet of you to say that! 🙂
