The beginning of summer signals hot weather, long days, and Instagram feeds filled with outfits and trends just waiting to be tested. One of my favorite trends of this summer are adorable floppy beach hats with sequined messages. However, they can seem hard to style. That’s where a trusty little black dress comes in! Buy a cute hat and follow these styling tips and you’ll be set for a summer spent in style.
1—Start with a little black dress. LBDs are the perfect base for a beach outfit. They make for a swimsuit cover-up that’s equally great for going from the pool to dinner. A breezy dress will keep cool even in the heat and it won’t wrinkle in a suitcase. Little black dresses are the best for looking cute and staying comfortable while traveling.
2—Add the perfect hat. These hats are popular because they put a modern twist on a classic style. Find a hat with a message you love. My personal favorite is, “Hello Sunshine,” but the customization of these hats is what makes them fun.
3—Keep accessories simple. Since the hat is the focus of the outfit, you don’t need to pile on accessories. This makes it so much easier to go to the beach, take cute pictures for Instagram with your friends, and still be able to go in the water without worrying about losing jewelry.
4—Wear comfortable sandals. Find a pair of sandals that go well with the outfit but are still comfortable enough to walk on the beach. Your feet will thank you!
5—Be confident. The most important part of any outfit is confidence. Be confident that you can pull off those trends you always see on Instagram and you can! Throw on your favorite look, add your beach hat, and take tons of cute pictures with your friends. Out of all of these tips, being confident is the most important.
