Being chic is all about being relaxed and stylish at the same time. But how do you do that when you go to the pool?
That’s the topic we explore in this post. We look at some of the strategies you can adopt and how they can help you pull off this inimitable look, whether you like to lounge, swim, sip, or do a mixture of all three.
Grab Some Jewelry That’s Suitable For The Pool
Jewelry is usually a big no-no at the pool. But, of course, its absence makes it much more challenging to look chic. You just can’t get the look you want without it.
That’s where suitable water-appropriate jewelry comes into the picture. These days there are all sorts of options on the market, from silicone earrings to resin wristbands that can thrive in a high-chlorine environment (unlike most precious metals which can’t).
You can also try wearing necklaces with special plating or protection. For example, properly maintained gold-plated jewelry is usually okay and something you will see a lot of people wearing poolside in private locations.
Find Footwear That Matches Your Poolside Vibe
At the same time, you also want to find footwear that matches the poolside vibe you want to achieve. Getting this right can help you look so much more chic.
For example, you could start with platform flip-flops. These are super trendy and add height to your figure. Many also come with helpful rubberized or high-friction soles, so you can use them when walking around wet, slippery poolsides.
Sandals are another option. These are often cheap to buy and made with water-resistant materials, making them even more practical for long sessions of relaxing and unwinding with friends. You hardly have to remember you’re wearing them!
Wear A Statement Swimwear Piece
You also want to explore swimwear when trying to create a chic poolside look. Finding a stunning outfit that suits you is often the best way to make an impactful statement.
These days, you can find all sorts of styles and options. Currently, high-waisted bottoms are in fashion. They give you a vintage look while also flattering your figure. Wear them with a crop top to blend in some modern influence and look absolutely stunning for poolside brunch.
Trendy one-pieces are also an option. These go well with shorts (if you have them) and provide you with modesty if you’re looking for a quieter day. On the other end of the spectrum, you could opt for a bikini where you custom-pair the top with the bottoms.
Add A Kimono
Adding a kimono to your poolside look can also help you get that chic style you want. Lightweight or semi-sheer fabric that drapes over your legs is one of the best ways to achieve this sort of appearance.
You can do something similar with oversized button-downs made of linen or cotton fabric. Soft and pastel colors combine to create an attractive and breezy aesthetic that complements the vast majority of settings, including indoor and outdoor pools.
