5 Easy Tips To Look Stylish This Summer
Ohhhh just five more minutes at the beach/lake/pool before I head in to dress for dinner… Well, I can probably do five more… Sound familiar? We took some time to reflect on dressing for the summer season and want to share several of our takeaways with you. The summer tends to demand more outfit changes in any given day because of the wide variety of activities we engage in… Pool time, kids’ sporting activities, grill outs, beach days, fun meals out, happy hours, supper on the porch, etc. The list could go on and on, but you guys know what we’re saying!

Tip #1 | Buy A New Dress
We are going to talk about two pieces of clothing that make looking stylish in the summer easy. The first is of course a dress. Ladies, buys yourself a new dress each summer! Not only is a new dress the best way to press the easy button when you are doing quick turn arounds, but it is also a way to incorporate any new trends you are loving. The dress can be neutral, colorful, long, short, sleeveless or not… It’s all about your style preferences and what you are going to grab and wear often. Here is a round up of some different types of dresses we are loving for effortless summer style.

Tip #2 | Find The Perfect Jean Short For You
The second article of clothing that makes dressing stylishly for summer easy is a pair of jean shorts. Let’s go ahead and address one of the #1 questions we get…. YES, you can wear jean shorts in your 40s, 50s, and beyond! No matter your age though, it is important to find that perfect pair of jean shorts that meet your criteria – and it needs to be a pair you love to grab and wear. They can be distressed or not, high rise or mid, short or longer…. It’s whatever is flattering to your body and that you feel confident in. Here are some of our team’s tried and true jean shorts that span a range of styles!

Tip #3 | Take The Time To Accessorize
It can be so easy in the summer to dress and go, without taking the time to accessorize. We totally get it… Which is why we recommend having a collection of simple, classic jewelry you can keep within arms length to throw on quickly. Ladies, it’s worth the extra minute it takes to adorn with a few pieces because it instantly polishes your look!
If you don’t already have one, buy yourself a pair of hoop earrings. You can treat yourself to something really nice, or get them cheaply… But get you a pair. Hoops make the earring choice a no brainer – they go with everything and always look good!
Small Classic | Flat | Classic | Pearl | Twist | Layered | Small Pearl
Necklace stacking is a huge trend… We recommend having at least three necklaces that can be worn alone or stacked in a grouping of two or three. We love the combinations you can create with a herringbone chain, a textured chain (like rope or link) , and a pendant necklace. Look in your jewelry box, as you probably already have at least one or two necklaces that can be utilized in this way!
Herringbone | Rope | Flat Chain | Linked Chain | Heart Pendant | Scalloped Pendant | Angel Wings Pendant
Lastly, make sure to have the components for a good bracelet stack. Pieces you can wear alone, or mix and match with one another depending on your mood. A simple bangle stack is a must, and then add in a textured metal bracelet of some sort, as well as a beaded bracelet stack, and you are good to go for countless arm candy combinations.
Flat Chain | Linked | Neutral Stack | All Weather Stack | Jelly Stack | Elastic Stack
Tip #4 | Invest In Some Versatile Sandals
Metallic sandals are trending huge this summer, but my goodness we have been believers for much longer! A pair of metallic sandals (we prefer gold), literally goes with everything. In fact, it’s probably the only sandal you really absolutely need for the summer. Here are a few of our favorites!

Tip #5 | Update Your Sunglasses
We are all for expensive and/or classic sunglasses…. But a really easy way to look stylish and on trend is with a trendy pair of sunglasses. The good news is, there is no shortage of sunglasses that fit the bill out there for really cheap (thank you Amazon)! So tip #5 for looking stylish this summer is… Buy you some trendy sunglasses. Here are a few good ones we have seen or even bought ourselves this summer. Every single pair of these sunglasses sits at the $90 or less price point (and really 4 of the 5 are under $50!)!
