Who says summer means new wardrobe, compulsive buying of swimsuits and temporary farewell to our winter jackets. Simple fashion pleasures that make us extremely happy from the first rays of sunshine, and which we like to abuse without hiding. We've listed our 10 favorites, guaranteed to be impossible to deny.
Going out without a jacket …
… no waistcoat or anything other than light clothing. You just put on a little dress and a pair of sandals, no need to burden yourself with unnecessary clothes. The warm wind + skirt equation can certainly play tricks on us but we are not going to lie to each other, we like the feeling on our skin for us to play it Pocahontas version 2.0.
Wear only light materials
Cotton, muslin, crochet, lace … See you next year, big stitches and cold fleece, the hot season sees us focus on soft and voluptuous fabrics. What to look like a real bohemian naiad by the sea.
Dare the colors
Our complexion has finally become (subtly) tanned, we can let go. No more gray, black and other beige tones: make way for greens, blues and yellows. We even allow ourselves little follies by mixing several colors (the color-block trend is dead, long live the pastel trend). And let's not talk about the matching lipsticks …
Multiply jewelry …
… without them going unnoticed under layers and layers of clothing. In summer, we collect colorful pieces that highlight our skin and our outfits. We immediately feel stylish with jewelry and the absence of wool clearly makes our job easier: no more unfortunate snags in the mesh of our favorite sweater, we can wear our rings and bracelets by the thousands with peace of mind.
Adorn yourself with prints
We may have believed in it and tried it often for a long time, but winter and patterns don't mix. And by patterns, we mean above all a mixture of prints. In summer, on the other hand, the more cheerful colors push us to dare the "mix & match", and it works.
Collect sunglasses without appearing snobbish
Admittedly, they are also an effective way to hide the evening after a little too drunk. In the evening on the terrace with friends sipping a glass of rosé, with a cold meats / cheese board, the next day oversized glasses on your nose to climb the few meters that separate us from the beach (or the office for the less fortunate) ) with dignity, and above all without arousing suspicion.
Find THE perfect swimsuits
What do you mean, one for each vacation day is too much? Any self-respecting woman can attest to this: at the sea or at the pool, we like to change our swimsuits as well as our shirts. Floral bikini, strapless, tropical or plain one-piece, the choice available to us is far too tempting to resist. And this is a real summer heralding ritual that we have been waiting for for months!
Redoing your entire summer wardrobe under the pretext that nothing suits us anymore
Yes, it's true, even the accessories. No no, nothing to do with the mass appearance of new trends. Or so little. But it must be said that we don't really fit in this dress anymore and that the color of this skirt has completely rubbed off on our favorite top. Not to mention our slightly scuffed gladiator sandals on the sides. We can't just sit back and do nothing!
Play it BB by tying a bohemian headband in our hair
She remains the timeless muse of summer, Brigitte and her long blond hair, her very makeup eyes and her impeccable style. We like to give it its signature touch, its sixties headband that we tie in our hair. Be careful, however, to reproduce the Bardot-style port: an Easter egg accident very quickly happened.
Take out her favorite sandals from the wardrobe
Flat with straps, laced gladiator style or metallic with heels, we all have a pair in mind that has been eyeing us since mid-February every time we open our closet. No need to wait any longer, we can finally brandish our favorite sandals and wear them without fear of losing a toe.
