Not sure what to wear to those pool parties, garden soirées and beach barbeques? Don’t stress we break it all down for you.

Crème of the Crop

Showing off a bit of your midriff with crop tops is all the rage right now. It’s time to holiday à la Dil Dhadakne Do style. In the film, Priyanka Chopra sports a crop top and high-waisted trousers echoing a chic yacht party trend. This Bebe Back Strap Bra Top ($59 US) is just the right amount of chic when out at sea.

Maxi Mania
Maxi, midi and mini dresses are all favourite summer staples. They can be worn everywhere from poolside parties to rooftop patio bashes. This Forever 21 Floral Crisscross Maxi Dress ($29.90 CDN) with a deep V-neckline is perfect for a garden party or a day by the pool.

Keep it Short

Heading to a beach barbeque? You can wear a pair of shorts over your swimsuit and you’re set for the sun, sand and sea. This pair of Polka Dot Shorts ($35.90 CDN) from Zara will keep you onboard with the rest of the chic crowd.

Keeping up with Kaftans

Hit the beach bar with a tropical print Bali Border Beach Kaftan ($78 CDN) from French Connection. Layer it over your swimsuit and throw on your favourite pair of sunnies before heading out.

Denim Diva

Weekend getaways or road trips on the horizon? I’d say time to die for denim. Think Priyanka Chopra’s denim in Anjaana Anjaani or Katrina Kaif’s in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. These True Religion 'Joey' Low Rise Denim Cutoff Shorts ($216 CDN) are a staple you can’t afford to be without.

Retro Rage

There are tons of festivals taking place over the summer and hippie bohemian is the way to go. This BCBG Danela Scarf Hem Crossover Halter Dress ($373 CDN) is a total scene stealer.

Wild for Wedges

These Lole Louisa Wedge Espadrilles ($90 CDN) are the most comfy heels you’ll sport all summer. The rubber soles will add a bounce to your step as you flirt your way through the season.

Jewel Zest

This Rhea for Studio Rudraksh Blue Beads Tassels Necklace ($30 US) is light and perfect for a pool party. You can pair it with a flowy dress or with denim shorts and a tank top.

The “It” Bag

It seems that Kate Spade bags are the hottest item to own this season. From satchels to cross body bags, everyone seems to have one. So if you’re heading to a yacht party or attending a patio brunch, this Kate Spade Madison Regina Street Renata Bag ($548 CDN) gets my vote.

Fifty Shades of Summer

Summer ain’t complete without a pair of statement sunnies. Rayban Aviator Shades ($250 CDN) are still hot and heavy and aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. I’d say it’s time to sport them in gold with green polarized lenses and let the fun begin.
