| With 4th of July just around the corner, we have yet another reason to exercise our love for the summertime and dress up for the holiday that celebrates our independence. So why not exercise your fashion independence as well with alternative pool and BBQ party outfits that will leave you feeling confidentially cool no matter what. Although pool and BBQ parties call for extremely casual attire, they are also the perfect place to ditch your old rollover shorts and favorite t-shirt and trade them in for something with a little more style to help you stand out and feel your best. A super easy pool outfit, which also can act as a bathing suit cover-up, is a romper. This one-piece article comes in various styles, colors, patterns and sizes and is also extremely easy to pack as a change of clothes since its one piece. The best part about a romper? Not having to worry about trying to match your shorts and your top. If you are attending a nighttime BBQ and it’s a little chilly out, a jumpsuit works similarly to a romper, just with pants instead of shorts. Rompers and jumpsuits are generally made out of soft, cotton fabric, making them stylish, comfortable and practical all at once. If dresses are more your style, but you don’t want a tight dress that shows your weird bathing suit lines through it, the shift dress is an easy and cute fix. Shift dresses, while being great for all occasions, are more roomy and comfortable because of their flowy, easy and “shapeless” style. Perfect to throw over your bathing suit or even to wear for a night out to dinner, this style beats the shorts and tank top combo in not just looks but also in comfort. Another style that works as an alternative to the average pair of soffe shorts are the ever-popular patterned shorts. These shorts, available at many retail stores and smaller boutiques, are comfortable, loose fitting and can be worn with almost any plain colored top. They usually are slightly high-waisted so they could even be worn as an alternative to high-waisted jean shorts for additional comfort and a little more room to breathe. These alternative styles, while perfect for a 4th of July party you are attending or hosting, are also perfect for any summer day. Rompers, jumpsuits, shift dresses and dressy patterned shorts are all styles that are here to stay this season. Their comfort, style and practicality make them perfect outfit choices that will leave everyone envious of your style. |
