Sizzlin’ Fashion Tips for the Summer!
It’s 90 degrees and humid, and the dog days of summer are in full swing. Rather than staying inside in front of the A/C all day, consider venturing outside to catch some rays while showing off these hot summer looks. Thankfully, you don’t have to look far; local boutiques such as The Farmer’s Wife, Karisma, and Burnt Lily have a variety of swimwear, tops, accessories, and even skin-care products to get you ready for the heat. Our beautiful models, Carrie Weiglletner and Dakota Feller, showed us how to rock these beach-ready outfits and stay cool even in the burning heat. Whichever look you’re rollin’ with, hang loose and enjoy the heat. // – By Hannah Loefke Photos by JL Photography
Cool off at Richmond beach or lay around in the lazy river. Break out of your comfort zone and try wearing something other than just your old bikini. Burnt Lily Boutique, located in the Citizens Building, has some rad, retro merchandise. They have several vintage inspired tankinis.
If you aren’t quite ready to show off in the bikini, grab a romper or a coverup. Bright colors are a splendid summer choice. A flowy hippie romper from Farmer’s Wife Boutique can help you stand out.
Keep it simple and stylish when you hit the beach. One-pieces are back in style, and Burnt Lily’s cool selection of alternative clothing can give you the edge to stand out.
An oversized, loose tank can also serve as a sweet coverup. Too Rock N Roll for the flowy Stevie Nicks look? Transform an old band tee by cutting it into a crop top. Pair it with some dark aviators and maybe a vampira dark lipstick to add more rock to your outfit.
Consider other skin care products, such as sunscreen, just another summer outfit accessory. Make sure to grab one that keeps you safe from both UVA and UVB rays. Since you’ll be sweating, don’t skip out on the deodorant! Farmer’s Wife has you covered for a variety of skin and hair products.
Make your look pop with a big, classy sun hat from Karisma. Hats are an excellent summer choice for both style and skin care.
