Don’t be confused….a backyard barbeque is not an invitation to look lazy! Everyday is an opportunity to look your best and this is no exception. Here are a few style tips to try this summer at your next backyard BBQ.
stylish summer shorts
High waisted Hawaiian print shorts by Zara bring a modern edge to a traditional print.
Rope Sailor Shorts by J.Crew have an unexpected texture that looks rich.
Pink Striped Shorts by Old Navy are affordable and cute. Don't be afraid to pair stripes and florals, they work well together.
Espadrilles
Espadrille wedges are more flattering than flat sandals and will keep you from sinking into the turf. We found really great options on sale now at Victoria's Secret.
Go nautical
When in doubt go Nautical. It’s easy for anyone to pull off, and always looks fresh and polished even at the end of a hot summer’s day. Here's how...
- Blue and White or Black and White
- If you can White Denim works best but Blue is okay too.
- Stripes of course.
- Wear Strappy Wedges to show off legs in shorts.
- Accessorize with CC earrings, after all Coco Chanel was known for her seaside glam.
