Summer is in full swing, and it’s time to relax and take a break. Living on the Coast offers so many activities this time of year, like soaking up the sun on the beach, riding a jet ski, playing cornhole and shopping vintage markets. Family and friends come to visit, and there’s so much to do!
While enjoying your favorite seasonal things, express your personal style with vibrant patterns and prints that reflect the fun and whimsy of summer. Here are some tips to ensure your outfits are cohesive and stylish:
- Choose one print or pattern as the focal point, and pair it with another print that is more subtle. The prints should have colors in common to keep the look coordinated.
- Use accessories in neutral colors or metallics to complete the outfit.
- Keep jewelry light so it doesn’t distract from your look.
This year, self-expression is the hottest trend. Let summertime motivate you to create outfits that are bright, playful and cheerful, and that’s how you feel.
