ROMPER
The perfect piece to show your shape without hugging too tight is rompers! Not only can you pair them with sneakers or dress them up with strappy sandals, but they’re also easy to layer with. If you know you’ll be out all day, you can pair a casual romper with your favourite denim jacket or duster. While going to the bathroom might not be as easy as normal, a simple patterned romper is always a hit.

DUSTER
If you’re looking to invest in an extremely versatile piece, a duster or kimono is your best bet! They can be paired with almost anything and can completely elevate your outfit. You’ll likely see many stores carrying fun patterns and prints in dusters which you can style with your bathing suit, jean shorts or even a dress! For those that have a bit more sensitivity to the sun, dusters are usually made with light-weight material that will give you the extra coverage you need.

WRAP DRESS
During high-heat days, the last thing you want to wear is something that you need to continuously fix. Wrap-dresses are a no-fuss solution to warmer weather that look as fabulous as they feel. The flattering cut of wrap dresses flow just over your hips and snitch in at your waist. Whether you pair it with heels or flip-flops, a wrap dress can be worn to any summer outing!

DENIM BERMUDA SHORTS
Let’s face it, the thought of wearing shorts can sometimes be daunting. However, Bermuda shorts is one the best styles for curvy gals. The longer line is super complimentary for curvy body shapes and prevents any chaffing. When looking for Bermuda shorts, make sure to opt for stretchy and high-waisted pairs. It’s almost always better to size up in this case because being comfortable is the top priority, especially if you typically do a lot of outdoor activities in the summer. Denim shorts are also great for dressing up with a linen blazer and striped tee.
CHIC BATHING SUIT COVERUP
Plus-size swimwear has come a long way and if you’ve already found the bathing suit of your dreams – now is the time to top it with a chic cover-up. Investing in a cover-up is definitely something we recommend as it will last you years to come. Best of all, the latest cover-ups are far more elevated than a baggy tee. They can be worn with dresses, jean shorts, leggings or just on top of your swimsuit by the pool.
