5 Ways to Find Your Best Summer Fit

It’s summertime. The living should be easy, free and fun.

Yet if your clothes don’t fit, frustration is likely what you feel most of the time.

In this month’s blog, we share 5 fresh “Find Your Fit” tips with a summer spin. Hope a few resonate with you, taking stress out of your dress during the remaining days of summer. Enjoy!

#1 Know Your Retail Sizing
Women’s clothes are sold in petite, regular, plus and tall sizing. Many women are also a combination of sizes. Taking the time to find the brands that offer sizing that complements your unique proportions is well worth the effort.

#2 Day Dresses for Short Waists
Pick styles that float over the body and make you shout “what waist?”

#3 Short Pants for Tall Women
Yes, taller women can wear cropped pants. The keys are the shoe shape, the length and silhouette of the tops and layering pieces you pair with them, and the scale of your accessories.

#4 Two-Piece Swimsuits for Mature Gals
While an “itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini” is likely not the best choice for mature bodies, tankinis, consisting of a tank top and a bottom with varying degrees of coverage, can offer more “fit” wiggle room (& confidence!).

#5 Summer Sleeves
There are plenty of ways to cover arms while remaining cool. Flutter and cap sleeves, eyelet tops, and crochet fabrics in a variety of sleeve lengths can give your arms air conditioning and coverage.
