Long weekend weather is looking pretty stellar! So to help you guys and gals spend less time inside thinking about what to wear, and more time outside, we decided to put together some easy breezy pieces with minimal time and tan lines.

So boys, the summer shorts range from the euro-inspired rolled look, to the cut off denims, or to the traditional board short. Either and all can be worn with a variety of tanks and tees, but the best way to create an easy, put together look is to make sure the colour scheme and accessories create a balanced outfit. Yes, that means bulky shoes and black socks should not be worn with your fitted dress shorts. Less is definitely more in the summer, so no socks and shoes totally work this time of the year. Don’t be afraid of colour either this summer, that bright turquoise or floral shirt is the best way to get you noticed, in a good way, on the beach this long weekend.

We ladies are lucky enough to slip on a strappy summer dress, and go. Yes, the dress is definitely an outfit in itself, but the right fit, material and colour are what is important to compliment one’s shape, and skin tone. There is a wide variety of colour palettes to chose from this summer, from the softer pastels to the vibrant yellows and oranges, so there is an option to compliment every skin tone. For fit, the summer dresses, and crop tops are all about the abs, which is the best and smallest part of the torso. Once again it is all about balance, so if the abs are all out, keep the shorts to a comfortable boyfriend fit, and show the rest off on the lake this long weekend.
