4 Comfortable Fashion Styles You Should Explore This Summer

No matter your age, in one’s day to day fashion expression, it’s important to prioritize comfort. At the same time, fashion choice can offer a boost of confidence to the wearer and ultimately affect how you carry yourself throughout the day. This list will offer a variety of “in” fashion options that are sure to put a pep in your step without compromising your comfort.

Linen and Cotton

As the summer season heats up, it’s time to shift the utility of your closet. Push those cozy winter/spring textiles to the back and bring on the cool! Nothing says summer like linens and cottons. For easy styling, a neutral linen button down pairs gorgeously with jeans or linen pants. For quick layering, stack a loose knit, cotton sweater over a tank top and enjoy the beachy breeze. Thanks to their weaves and fibers, both linen and cotton are comfortably breathable for all of your summer fun.

Maxi Dresses

They’re billowy, cool, and perfect for running errands. Because they require very little styling, maxi dresses are a great summer staple, whether you’re running to the grocery store or having dinner with friends. Ranging in a variety of summery fabrics, from breezy chiffon to crisp cotton, they can be dressed up or down for any occasion without sacrificing comfort. For extra flare these pieces can be paired with accessories such as belts, bags, or hats. Their length offers a comfortable range of motion, while their versatility allows them to be styled over and over again so that you get your money’s worth.

Matching Sets

Like maxi dresses, matching sets are easy to style! They are often the epitome of comfort as they play into a more casual, athleisure style. Matching sets can range anywhere from a sports top and leggings to a floral blouse and skirt. Moreover, depending on the style, these sets can also be dressed up or down for the occasion. Whether it’s a matching sweatsuit for lounging or a blouse-palazzo set to brunch, matching sets are a phenomenal choice for combining comfort and personal style.

Coastal Blues

Why not bring the beach to you? Emanate the ocean in your wardrobe by picking relaxing coastal blues from your closet. From oversized button downs to Willow pattern dresses, soft shades of blue conjure an air of vacation relaxation no matter where you are. This cool color will always pair gorgeously with a crisp white piece and a comfy pair of sandals. Even better, it can easily be dressed up or down for your daily needs.

Conclusion

As we age and opt for clothing options that feel more comfortable and relaxed, it is easy to feel alienated from the conversation of what’s “in” and what’s “fashionable.” It’s important to know that you don’t have to sacrifice your confidence and personal self expression for comfort – fashion and the self-assurance it instills should be accessible to those of all ages. With this list, your personal style can easily reflect your individual flare without losing its ease and comfort.
