Will you be spending the rest of the summer in the city? You can still do it in style with these fresh and super glamorous looks
We have entered the peak of the most beautiful season ever, the one of fiery sunsets, going out, travelling, holidays and social engagements. Some of us, however, by choice or necessity are forced to spend the rest of the summer in the city. Does this mean giving up style? Never! Here is a selection of clothes and outfits to create glamorous and fresh looks that can be worn at any time of day or evening.
Summer in the city: how to dress?
Even if you spend the summer in the city, there is no shortage of things to do: open museums, traffic-free streets, aperitifs at sunset and shopping in the city centre. There is only one small problem: how to cope with the city heat and the blazing sun? Simple: by choosing fresh and glamorous looks to show off on every occasion.
There are in fact strategic garments, true must-haves of the season, that allow us to face the usual summer fashion drama. Before discovering them together, to create versatile and comfortable looks, we always advise you to pay attention to the fabric.
In this period, in fact, it is important to choose light garments characterised by breathable fabrics. Yes to cotton and linen, but also to viscose and silk, for naturally elegant and feminine outfits.
Another tip is to avoid the total black look, at least during the hottest hours. As everyone knows, in fact, colour attracts the sun's rays. Better therefore to opt for light shades and wear black, when you just can't do without it, for evening dates.
Once you have paid attention to these details, all that remains for you to do is to rely on your personal taste to create ever-changing looks and styles to suit every need. There are many proposals on the market and inspiration comes directly from street style. Let's discover them together.
Fresh and glamorous looks for the city in summer
What can never be missing from a summer and urban wardrobe? Definitely a short dress, preferably coloured or floral. It can be worn at any time of day and matched with lots of accessories. Flat sandals and a backpack for daytime walks, a shoulder bag and heels for evening outings. If it's comfort you're after this summer, then we also recommend long dresses, preferably in an oversize version. They are cool, light and comfortable, and go well with everything.
Another must-have item is shorts, in cotton but also in denim, for super-cool outfits both day and night. Shorts are a must-have of the season, as well as strategic allies to wear on many occasions. The versatility of this garment, in fact, allows them to be used in different ways and manners: they can be worn on the beach with a swimming costume, with a cropped top for an afternoon of shopping or with a white shirt, for a super glamorous and fresh outfit. If you want to create a jaunty, carefree look, then pair denim shorts with a shirt knotted at the waist: you'll have the perfect holiday style, even in the city.
Speaking of shirts, these are among the must-haves of the season. They are timeless garments that can be used to create so many looks. Elegant for the evening when paired with palazzo trousers, very cool when paired with high-waisted shorts. Super glamorous when used as a cover-up.
Last, but not least, are the skirts. You can choose a mini and floral model to pair with a tank top and strappy sandals for city errands and afternoon walks. Opt instead for a top or blouse with embroidery if you want to create a more feminine look.
Are you a fan of practicality? Then let yourself be won over by long skirts, which can also be worn with everything. The fluttery, oversized ones are perfect for daytime, and can be worn with either flat sandals or trainers. For bolder, more sensual looks, on the other hand, we recommend the tighter models, perhaps with a side or central slit.
