Summer is all about relaxing and having fun, and what better way to do that than going to a poolside party? There’s nothing like dipping your toes in water to cool off on these hot, humid days. But deciding what to wear to a pool party may not always be the easiest task. You won’t always just be swimming; you’d also snack, have a few drinks and socialize with your friends. This isn’t just a swimsuit and cover-up situation, you have to think about the whole outfit that is both practical and appropriate.
So, here are 5 cute outfit ideas for any pool party you have coming up!
1. Bikini chic
You don’t always have to go with a classic triangle bikini or a simple one-piece. Instead, try some designer bikinis with interesting shapes and cuts which show off your curves in the best possible way. The unique style of these swimsuits opens up a world of outfit options. You can wear them as a top with a pair of high-waisted shorts or breezy summer pants. They even look good with almost any skirt you have in your closet. The choice is yours, really, just don’t forget to add a bit of your personality to the look with some fun summer accessories.
2. Boho vibes
It doesn’t matter if it’s a dress or a top, crochet is always a good option. It’s light, breezy and perfect for summer. Not only is crochet always in style, but it’s a great way to casually show off your cute bikini, while still being covered up. And the best part is that it goes great with almost anything. Whether you are a casual slides or more of a chic sandals kind of girl, you are guaranteed to look great. Just put on your favorite pair of oversized sunglasses and statement tassel earrings and you are ready to rock the pool party.
3. Resort style
Just because you aren’t going to a luxurious resort, doesn’t mean you can’t steal some of the resort collections’ best style ideas. Tropical prints, vibrant colors and evergreen stripes are definitely the way to go. Just pair your favorite resort-inspired piece with a straw bag or a straw hat to easily achieve that casually chic vibe and dazzle everyone at the poolside. This type of style also looks great with messy buns and beachy waves, so it’s one less thing you need to worry about when planning your outfit.
4. Going classic
Mixing current summer trends with classic pieces is always a good idea. Put on your favorite pair of printed high-waisted shorts and a simple button-up shirt, which you can tuck in or tie at the front to give your outfit a fun twist. You can also leave a few buttons undone to show off the beautiful minimalistic jewelry you chose to wear with this look. Don’t forget to throw on a pair of brightly-colored shades and some cute woven wedges to tie the outfit together. And you know what else is great about this outfit? You can easily hide a swimsuit underneath it if you’re not the type that’s comfortable with it constantly being on display.
5. The simplest thing
Rompers and jumpsuits are one of the simplest things a woman can pull out of her closet. One item, endless outfit options. Whether you choose to wear a brightly-colored or a printed one, you are guaranteed to look put-together in a well-tailored jumpsuit. And if you’re going to an evening party, you can even opt for a black one for that sophisticated, yet casual look. Don’t feel the need to wear a pair of heels to a slippery poolside, a good pair of flats will work just as well. With this type of outfit, you have the complete freedom to accessorize however you want, either with simple jewelry and makeup, for a more toned-down look, or by going completely glitz and glam to dazzle everyone at the party.
