The Chief Blonde’s 3 summer style suggestions:

Summer Style Secret #1. Wear a Hat!

Summer Style Secrets Wear a Hat!

 Remember PALE is the new TAN!  Let’s prevent Melanoma this summer!!

Summer Style Secret #2 If you must wear capris, wear a heel

I think most capri pants are pretty ugly.  That being said, I also understand why many women wear them.  If you wear capris, I recommend wearing them with a heel.  Now not 4″ heels maybe,  but an espadrille or sandal.  A higher shoe creates a much better line. PLEASE DON”T WEAR WITH TENNIS SHOES AND SOCKS!!!!  Also, a dark flat just makes you look squatty.  If you must wear a flat stick with a skin color shoe.  Personally, I hate capris but I show a better way to wear them.

Summer Style Secrets If you must wear Capris

The Chief Blonde contrasts capris with and without a heel.  

Summer Style Secret #3 –If you must wear a t-shirt, especially a men’s or graphic T, dress it up.  Look feminine!

As a rule, I hate men’s t-shirts on women.  They are all wrong for a woman’s body.  No matter what your shape, a woman’s t-shirt is so much better of a choice.  Yet, in the summer there are many situations where you must wear a men’s or graphic T-shirt.  If you do, try to add feminine details like a necklace or a belt to soften the lines.

    I wear capris only because i don’t wear shorts because it’s hard to find shorts that are actually long enough. It gets really hot here too but I’ll have to try heels with them.

    We live in a really warm state, so I stick with skirts and dresses. I would wear capris, but that makes it feel so much warmer.

    I almost always wear capris with a heeled sandal because I think they look much better. Thanks for all these suggestions.

    I actually think that capris look great on some people….however, I am not one of them. I have very muscular calves and it cuts me off at the worst possible spot! Your tips help those that wear them, I’m sure. I generally only wear men’s t-shirts at home in front of my computer. It is very accommodating to whatever style I’m wearing, LOL. But I’m not sure I’d belt one, either. I’d feel like I was trying too hard to make t-shirts fashionable! They may be functional, but not fashionable.

    I do like my capris. I’ll try to remember to wear heels with them, your pictures show that it does make a difference.

    I don’t own a pair of capris. Good thing since I also don’t own any heels.
    I love wearing hats.
