Could you guide me and let me know what to buy for the summer? I want to be in style, but want to also be comfortable.
A: With summer being right around the corner, I want to make sure you get all the summer must haves! First, you need to decide what you are comfortable in. Remember, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort to be trendy. You can have the best of both worlds. I would recommend you going with lightweight fabrics. I don’t need to tell you how hot it gets in Florida. Start off with light dresses and shorts. Cotton fabrics are best for summer. Tanks will probably also be the top of choice for the summer. With a budget in mind, I would buy a couple of dresses, shorts and tanks. I would stick with the normal and safe colors: black, white, and gray. If you are brave, then branch out to spring and summer pastel colors. If you aren’t too fashion forward, definitely stay away from patterns and designs on clothes. Sandals are the shoe of choice in Florida. Can’t go wrong with a couple of pairs of sandals. I would stick with buying a black and a white pair. This will most likely go with everything. You will also want a very comfortable pair of shades. This may be the most important accessory of the summer. Have a great summer and don’t sweat the small stuff! See also
