You have been invited to a pool party, and your stomach is in knots. You have not worn a bathing suit in public in a long time, and you have no intention of starting now. Fear not! There are some smart outfits you can wear to a pool party without ever donning swimwear.
According to Printful, there are several outfits you can put together for very little money. Try wearing a classic look or putting a new spin on a classic look. You can pair designer accessories or wear your very own original t-shirt. If you do a good job, all eyes will be on you instead of the people in skimpy bathing suits.
Find a Vintage Outfit
If you look in some of the better second-hand shops, you may find that there are many well-made summer outfits. Pair a Hawaiian shirt with Bermuda shorts and sandals for a classic 1930s look. A bowling shirt will create a similar effect.
There are some modern takes on this outfit. Designers are now creating matching floral print shirts and shorts for both men and women. It makes a bold statement.
Create Your Own Pool Wear
Nowadays, there are on-demand printers that will allow you to create your own fashions just by visiting their website. All you have to do is upload your design to their website and select an article of clothing to put the design on.
You can put your design on a t-shirt or a pair of shorts. You can also design wristbands, flip-flops, and tote bags to take with you to the pool. The better on-demand printing companies will even let you make your own beach blankets and put an embroidered design on a pair of sneakers.
There are endless possibilities for what you can put on a t-shirt for a pool party. Use an image of a pair of sunglasses or a surfboard or put a picture of your favorite pet on a shirt.
Make a shirt with a sarcastic saying or words to inspire everyone at the party. Put a caricature of yourself on a tank top or a hundred tiny pictures of a local politician on a pair of shorts. Some of the best-selling t-shirts in history started with a very simple idea. Two of the most famous shirts of all time are one saying, “I’m with stupid,” with an arrow pointing to the left, and another saying, “I (heart) NY.”
You can use regular print or embroidery for your designs. If you do a good job, people may want to buy your shirt. Some on-demand printers will allow you to sell your design using their website.
Wear Your Very Best Bling
Designer sunglasses have been big ever since the 1980s. A pair of really flattering sunglasses can change the whole shape of your face. A hat can be flattering as well. The trick is to pair the right hat with the right pair of glasses.
A fedora will always look good with a pair of aviator sunglasses. A straw hat with round sunglasses will give you a 1960s look. A colorful head scarf paired with sunglasses that have colorful frames will add a feminine effect to any outfit.
Sunglass styles from the 1960s are in this year. Kylie Jenner has a popular pair of browline sunglasses. Both Lyndon Johnson and Malcolm X were famous for wearing browline glasses. Round sunglasses like those worn by Janis Joplin and John Lennon are making a comeback as well. The Oliver Goldsmith sunglasses sported by Audrey Hepburn in her movies are also on their way back in.
Maxi Dress
A maxi dress is a perfect thing to wear to a pool party. They are not restrictive and have an easy, free-flowing look. You can get them in a multitude of different styles and colors. Maxi dresses are inexpensive and can hide any imperfections. Wear a maxidress with a hat and dark sunglasses, and you are certain to create an air of mystery.
Putting together a great outfit for a pool party is easier than you probably think. Just because you are staying out of the pool doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a good time. If you wear a cute outfit and enjoy the sunshine, you will have a great time and create beautiful memories with your friends.
