People who are good at planning are already in the festive mood and have exciting activities lined up for the season.

With the temperatures rising, most people will be out and about. Whether chilling by the lounge poolside, sipping cocktails in the garden, or making memories with loved ones, make sure you look your best by drawing inspiration from the following style trends.

The summer magic moment

On sunny days, the best thing you can do is wear breathable clothes. Avoid jeans and opt for a flowing kaftan over your bikini or a maxi dress layered with a slip for that perfect mix of chic and comfort.

Play with pastel hues like lavender and blush or go bold with prints that add personality to your look. Finish with flat sandals, a straw bag and oversized earrings for an effortlessly Instagrammable garden-party-ready outfit.

Colour crush

Summer is all about playing around with colours. Mix two different colours like yellow and pink for a brighter look.

Let’s say you’re going out for brunch, you could wear a nice yellow summer dress with sandals, and white sunglasses. Finish the look with a pink handbag.

Smell like a mood

Fragrance is an invisible accessory that tops the overall look. During summer you want to smell fruity and Playgirl Love Is perfumed body spray has you covered with its sweet and sensual fruity-floral scent.

You can even carry it in your handbag to occasionally spray throughout the day, to maintain that fruity, flirtatious scent.

Go bold with nails

Short nails are usually elegant, but when it comes to colour, you don’t have to play it safe. It’s summer, after all.

You want to try vibrant colours like coral, cobalt blue or neon pink, and add some playful designs, think swirls, palm trees or even cute festive icons.

Sunny accessories rule

Accessories are the unsung heroes of every outfit. This summer, bucket hats are making a major comeback, perfect for shading your face while keeping you effortlessly cool.

Oversized sunglasses are another must, giving you that celebrity-on-holiday vibe. For a playful twist, layer colourful beaded necklaces or bracelets that bring out the carefree summer spirit.
