There’s nothing quite like the feeling of the hot summer sun on your skin. It’s also the easiest time of year to look cute with minimal effort (trust us!).
Indeed, it doesn’t matter whether you’re basking on the beach or laying low at home. Imagine That Boutique is guaranteed to have the perfect ‘fit to keep you feeling gorgeous and confident all summer long.
From platform sandals to laid-back mini-dresses to instant-up-style accessories, your choices for cute summer outfits are endless. All you need to know is how to make the best of your options, which is why we’re happy to share some of our favorite fashion hacks for the season.
Ready? Let’s get this hot girl summer started.
Say Heck Yes to the Dress
Not only are dresses the pinnacle of femininity, but they’re also one of those summer outfits that are easy-breezy to slip in and out of. And with so many styles and designs to choose from, there’s always a piece to suit your body type.
This summer, we’re all about fun, bold prints and interesting cut-outs – whether your preferred length is mini, midi, or maxi.
Flowy florals look super cute over bikinis or swimsuits and can easily be dressed up with heels and a clutch for your evening adventures.
Linen, longer-length dresses feel boho beautiful and are bound to pop against sun-kissed skin.
And for the adventurous, bodycon cut-out designs will have you strutting your stuff like you’ve just strolled off a catwalk in Europe.
At Imagine That, we never underestimate the power of the dress. And neither should you.
It doesn’t matter if you have a few go-to pieces you love to dress up or down or a whole wardrobe full of options. Either way, dresses are effortless and will keep you cool to boot.
Accessories Are a Girl’s Best Friend
Let’s be honest. In summer, your goal is to minimize the amount of clothing you wear so that you can fend off the heat. But how do you change it up and make a statement?
Accessories, of course.
Hat, belts, bags, sunnies, and jewels are the answer to turning even your most basic shorts-and-tee outfits into something spectacular.
And if you’re a minimalist that only likes to keep a few staple items in a capsule wardrobe, accessories can transform your existing pieces with chameleon-like flair.
So, buy those earrings or shades that you love. You’ll thank us later.
Athleisurewear, Loungewear, and Co-Ords
If there’s one thing we love about summer outfits for women, it’s the level of casual they get away with.
Running errands? Athleisurewear. Drinking wine with your girls? Loungewear. And cute co-ords fit in just about anywhere.
Don’t be afraid to embrace the trend that has taken the fashion world by storm – loving your body and the ease of movement that comes with dressing down.
It’s summer and comfort comes first.
But it’s also not to say that these wardrobe must-haves can’t be jazzed up. Bike shorts and a cropped leather jacket are perfect for a night on the town.
Wake-Up, Make-Up
Loading on make-up can be tricky to negotiate when there’s a chance you’ll sweat it all off the moment you walk outdoors.
That’s why we recommend you plan your summer skin regime to require minimal effort (and a healthy dose of SPF!).
No-make-up natural looks are always in fashion in summer, especially if you’re already developing a natural glow from the sun.
But even so, you still need to care for your skin, especially when you’re exposing it to harsh rays. Safety first. And then maybe a little lip-gloss and mascara just to emphasize your features.
Invest in What Works for You
A big part of feeling your best is choosing wardrobe pieces that work for you. This is especially true in summer when it’s easy to feel uncomfortable and exposed.
If you have your “uniform,” stick with it. You can always mix it up with accessories and different make-up looks.
Maybe you’re a denim shorts girl, or perhaps you’re into dresses or jumpsuits. It doesn’t matter as long as you’re happy in your own skin. Confidence will follow.
At Imagine That Boutique, summer is one of our favorite times of the year, and we have a huge variety of pieces sure to please even the most discerning fashionistas. Contact us for inquiries or to view our range. We can’t wait to have you feeling your summery best.
