With temperatures at record high and still climbing, looking fresh all day is tantamount to looking fashionable. Because truly, any self-respecting fashionista will not be caught dead in wrinkled clothes or heaven forbid, something smelly, be it camphor or body odor. So here are a few expert tips and tricks that will have you looking your best with minimal effort.
Step 1: Bring out your light linens, beautiful blouses and chic Capris!
Light colors reflect light, dark colors absorb it. That is a scientific fact. Hence, to keep cool during summer, wearing light colors is highly recommended. And the perfect color for summer is white!
No matter what the event it, from work parties to barbeques, white outfits look crisp, sophisticated and never goes out of style. And Ann Taylor has a summer collection that has a variety of refined white pieces.
For a glamorous night out, wear a flattering lace dress or comfortable culottes. For a casual brunch, white tops and accessories will spice up any outfit. With these fresh looks, you will have plenty of crisp white options to last until Labor Day!
Step 2: Clear out your closet of out of season clothes.
Do you still have that chunky cable knit sweater for winter? Or the spring jacket worn during those cold spring nights? Easily organize them by putting items in labeled, plastic storage containers and housing the containers in a well-ventilated space. If you don’t have extra room for storage containers, another space saving tip is to stow items neatly inside your suitcases.
With those clothes out of the way, you now have space to hang your summer clothes without them being wrinkled because your closet is too full.
Step 3: Wash to eliminate odors and wrinkles.
Clothes that haven’t seen the sunlight in months could use a proper refresh, even if they’re not stained or untidy. And summer wardrobes typically consist of many delicate fabrics, which require special care. A revolutionary laundry invention called “TWIN Wash” allows you to divide and conquer, running two separate loads of laundry at the same time so you can care for your specialty items and larger loads all at once!
How does it work? Double up by loading the traditional front-load washer compartment with regulars and the “SideKick” with active-wear, delicates or kids’ clothes. The LG SideKick is a first-of-its kind mini washing machine situated in the footprint of the laundry pedestal, specifically designed to wash small, custom-care laundry loads and ideal for your sunny season intimates and active wear.
Step 4: Refresh without dry cleaning.
Summer means hot, sticky days and that means more frequent trips to the dry cleaners. Help reduce those trips and instead, place your favorite resort wear, dresses and elegant cocktail attire in the new LG Styler.
A must-have for the warm months, the LG Styler is a one-of-a-kind clothing management system that can quickly refresh and sanitize your clothing after a humid day in the sun. Simply place items inside the sleekly designed appliance, and let the LG Styler work its magic, using innovations such as TrueSteam technology to refresh your clothing without detergents and reduce odors so you’re ready for any beachside party or outdoor event at a moment’s notice.
Step 5: Add some new life to your wardrobe.
A trendsetting summer look shouldn’t have to cost you. With a little ingenuity, you can elevate your clothing collection and have some fun in the process.
To start, look at different pieces and devise three different ways you can style each. Everyone falls into outfit ruts, but if you think outside the box, you’ll find perfect pairings that would otherwise go unnoticed. Second, embrace accessories. Pops of color from scarves, jewelry and hair pieces can instantly transform a bland outfit. Finally, host a clothing exchange where people bring clothes they no longer wear but would rather see go to their friends than the thrift store. Everyone gets new pieces at no cost.
