Q. I bought a bunch of cute shorts and cropped pants for summer, but I’m having trouble finding anything to wear with them. I want something that is casual and cool but isn’t a plain t-shirt or tank top. I need several, so I don’t want to spend a lot of money. Can you suggest some inexpensive options?
A. Absolutely! I practically live in beyond-basic t-shirts and tank tops every summer. Scroll through some favorites under $50 this season:
Q. I have a very large bust and have such a hard time finding cute bathing suits. Can you recommend some for women with a DD cup?
A. It can be difficult to find stylish swimwear in larger cup sizes. However, it’s much easier than it used to be! We found a ton of great options for DD+ cup sizes (including DDD and FF sizes) on Asos.com, and they are just as stylish as the swimsuits for smaller cup sizes. Barenecessities.com also has a great selection of DD+ styles.
Q. I have a pool party coming up in a few weeks and I am super uncomfortable about wearing a swimsuit in front of everyone. I don’t plan on swimming, so can I get away with just wearing cute shorts and a top or a little sundress?
A. Absolutely! A casual sundress or maxi dress with sandals or shorts and a top with wedges are perfect clothing options if you prefer not to wear a swimsuit. Another option is to wear a swimsuit with one of this season’s must-have tunics or a pretty kaftan on top - even if you never remove your cover-up, you’ll still look “ready” for the pool. Here are some looks for inspiration:
Q. I recently got a job as a full time photographer at a large company. The dress code here is ‘corporate casual’ which means jeans are only acceptable on Fridays. This is a problem for me — as a photographer, I’m often climbing on stepladders, lugging around equipment, crawling around on the floor… I need to be able to move in my clothes, and pretty dresses and heels are not gonna cut it. I end up wearing black pants and various shirts/blouses every day, and it’s so boring! Do you have any suggestions how to inject some style into my life, while still being able to get the job done? Any wardrobe suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!
A. For the warmer months ahead, I suggest investing in several pairs of slim cropped (capri) pants in a variety of colors and prints. J. Crew cafe capri pants are a personal favorite, they fit great and come in a variety of prints like leopard and polka dot as well as ultra bright, pale, and neutral solids. Cropped pants are really versatile and can be paired with summer weight sweaters, cardigans, little jackets, blouses, button downs and dressy tees. Even better, they can be worn with flats, wedges and pumps.
