The sun is shining, and you’ve got your entire Summer planned — right down to the outfit you’ll be very at each event. We’re a generation that thrives off likes, comments, and shares, meaning that we must be on top of our game when it comes to the summer months.

With new summer trends hitting the high-street, you know you need to look your best when on your adventures this summer — but whatever you do, do not wear last season’s goods! You need to upgrade your wardrobe, and we’re going to help you do it.

The guide will also give you top advice on how to dress your best for all types of escapades — from crazy festivals to lavish pool parties.

What are the best materials to wear this summer?

You want to make sure you look you’re A-Game when venturing out into your summer itinerary, but this can also be achieved through comfortable clothing. To achieve all-around comfort in the hot weather, there are a few materials that you can wear that still make you look your best.

The summer months often lead to perspiration patches on our clothing, but there’s new fabric tech that can prevent this from happening — bonus! The last thing you want when the sun is shining is to feel uncomfortable, or even having to go to the excessive lengths of changing your outfit. So, 37.5® Technology has been designed to combat this issue.

This fabric has the capability of detecting whether your body needs warming up or cooling down. As well as this, the vapor stage allows it to move moisture out of the clothing before liquid sweat can form — perfect for those who like to keep active as well as sunbathe.

However, you could opt for cotton as this is a breathable material which can allow heat to escape effectively. As cotton is so popular among fashion retailers, it is a very viable option for your summer wardrobe shop.

If you haven’t considered Rayon —you should. The fabric has very thin threads, which allows it to breathe more than other fabrics, as well as being quite light to prevents it from sticking to the skin.

Your new wardrobe

You’ve waited all year for these months and now that they’re finally here, you need to branch out with your new styles. We’ve collated some of the most common events that occur when summer is here to give you advice on what to wear — from colors and styles — for both men and women:

Partying at the pool

Dressing ladies:

Pool parties are a must this summer. When it comes to what to wear — we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re ultra-confident or like to be more reserved when you attend these types of events, there’s plenty of options for you to choose from. When it comes to swimsuits, pastel colors are in this season and it’s important to remember that the lighter you go, the more heat repellent you become. This can ultimately make you feel more comfortable on your outing. However, just because light colors are sun-repellent, it doesn’t mean that you can bypass sun protection! Don’t be afraid to pair your swimsuit with a silky-cover up that can be easily put on and taken off when you please.

Dressing guys:

You want to strike a balance between stylish and fun. We recommend wearing microfiber polyester shorts, and because they absorb more water than polypropylene and nylon — you can opt for bright colors. When it comes to the shirt, you want to go for something opposite to your shorts; so, if you go for bright shorts, go for a dark shirt. You should go for the tropical-look to present those true summer vibes.

Walking across the beachfront

Dressing ladies:

It’s the romantic beach date you’ve dreamt of, but you need to play it cool and relaxed. The last thing you want to feel is the struggling of making it to the other end — to stay comfy, you need to wear light materials that will allow you to drift across the soft white sands. We recommend wearing a beach dress that is made up of viscose materials and goes for something that is predominantly dark but has flashes of bright, bold and beautiful colors in. Pair these with loose-fitted sandals that can be easily removed when you’re venturing out into the water.

Dressing guys:

Simplicity is key when you’re heading on a romantic walk across the beach. When picking your shorts, go for a fitted chino-style that are made from cotton, as this will undoubtedly complement the rest of your outfit and prepare you for the rest of the day if you decide to visit restaurants or a pub. Pair your shorts with a plain top and wear a pastel-colored shirt on top without buttoning it up, as this will help you show off a mix of materials and colors. When it comes to deciding on your shoes, pick white!

Dancing your day away at a festival

Dressing ladies:

You can rock anything you want at a festival. Dressing for a festival all comes down to personal preference, however, there are some recommendations that we must give. Every festival goer should think about carrying a light backpack that can be easily carried around to hold your personal items, such as your smartphone, charger, purse, and keys. You don’t want to be wearing a maxi dress at a festival, as this could potentially be trampled — opt for cotton shorts that are spacious enough to let you dance the day away, as well as a light vest top that allows your body to breathe. For your shoes, go for something flat like converse or buckled sandals so your feet do not get tired!

Dressing guys:

Limitless is often described as the way you can dress up at festivals. You have the ability to be as creative as you’d like — but here is what we think you should be wearing to stand out from the crowd. You want to wear a bright and bold silk shirt that has lots of patterns on it; something unusual that isn’t commonly worn every day. It’s not just the girls who can have fun and dance the day away; you can too by wearing comfortable cottoned shorts that aren’t too tight on your leg. For your shoes, go for black trainers that can complement the rest of your outfit.
