Summer is not only synonymous with warmer and longer days, but also with invitations to pool parties. You can't wait to go there, but you are in crisis because you don't know what to wear. With the right clothing and a little extra attention, you can relax and just think about having fun.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Dressing the Right Way
Step 1. Choose a suitable costume
The important thing is that it makes you feel comfortable. Whether it's a bikini or a one-piece, wear a comfortable swimsuit.
- You certainly don't want to adjust your costume all the time or rush to hide out of embarrassment, so choose a model that doesn't make you look uncomfortable.
- A costume can also help you express your style and personality, so choose a model that represents you. For example, if you like animal print, wear a leopard bikini. If you have a hippy soul, try a fringed costume. A costume helps you express yourself in different ways, so have fun choosing the one you like best.
- Remember that the pattern should also fit the party. For example, if there will be children, avoid wearing a costume that is too provocative.
Step 2. Wear the right shoes
For a pool party, tennis shoes are not the best because they could get wet. Instead, opt for a pair of sandals.
- Shoes with good friction are preferable, so as not to risk slipping in the middle of the party.
- Avoid wedges. They'll look pretty, too, but they're not practical for a pool party. You can choose plastic platform sandals instead, which are more durable, easier to put on and take off.
- You will always be on the safe side by wearing a pair of low-heeled Roman sandals. They are quite easy to put on and take off, plus they immediately make the look more sophisticated. For example, you can wear a very simple black swimsuit and a sundress, and then make it more special with Roman-style jeweled sandals.
Step 3. Dress in layers
This way you will stand out, keep you warm in the evening and cover the parts of the body that make you uncomfortable. Just make sure the layers are light so you can take them off easily and dry them right away.
- After putting on the costume, you can wear a floral sarong or a maxi dress. If you prefer a more casual look, consider a colorful tee or top and shorts.
- The caftan is particularly in fashion. Choose one that is transparent and open at the front for a more chic effect.
- For a pool party, you'll be on the safe side with bright colors and prints, while avoiding dark shades and jeans.
Part 2 of 3: Completing the Look
Step 1. Style your hair easily
Since you will get wet, there is no point in wasting too much time on your hair.
- For easy styling, shampoo the night before the party. When the hair is damp, spray a detangler and make a braid (you can also make several). The next morning, undo your braid or braids and you'll have some nice beach waves, perfect for a pool party.
- You can also keep them gathered in a soft braid during the party. This is especially handy when you get out of the pool and your hair is wet. You can braid them quickly and, once dry, you can melt them for the evening.
Step 2. Add some accessories; they can enhance any look
For example, wear a trendy hat - not only will it protect you from the sun, it will also make the outfit more cute. You can wear some jewelry or costume jewelry, but don't overdo it; try to have a practical look.
- Do not wear too expensive jewelry, as there is a risk of losing them.
- Wide-brimmed hats are not only trendy, they are also practical and protect the face from the sun.
- Don't forget sunscreen. Bring a bag to match your costume to store your cream and other accessories.
Step 3. Don't forget your sunglasses
They are an accessory, just like those proposed in the previous step, but they are of such importance that they deserve a category of their own. In addition to protecting you, they give that extra touch to the look.
- Try to match them with the costume and other accessories. For example, if you wear gold jewelry, wear gold-rimmed sunglasses.
- Pair your glasses with a hat for better protection and a classy look.
Part 3 of 3: Makeup Ideas
Step 1. Don't overdo the makeup, it's useless
Considering that you will get wet, it is better to opt for a simple and light make-up. So avoid foundation and blush, because otherwise you will end up with patchy skin and leave traces of makeup everywhere.
- If you want to apply eyeshadow, buy a waterproof one. It is sold in a tube similar to that of a lipstick and can be easily reapplied when exiting the pool.
- For bags under the eyes, look for a waterproof concealer. Remember that sunglasses are also very useful for hiding them.
Step 2. Don't forget the lip gloss
It allows you to immediately give a touch of color to the lips, without overdoing it.
If you're not planning on getting wet, you can try a bolder color, like red. If, on the other hand, you are going to dive into the pool, choose a waterproof lipstick. Some brands sell lipsticks that last up to 12 hours, even if they come in contact with water
Step 3. Apply waterproof mascara:
it's essential for a pool party. Always invest in a good product, so you don't end up with a raccoon effect.
- Try to use volumizing mascara. You can also take two passes to enhance this effect.
- Apply it before you go to the party, so it can dry before you jump in.
Advice
- Don't wear jewels that are too flashy and expensive (chains, gold earrings, and so on), as they are often lost.
- Always bring spare clothes, so that you can change after swimming.
- Wear a comfortable costume.
