How do I look my best at a pool party? style myself  You're in panic? Simple: it is all about STYLING! And...we are going to help you with our styling tips! With our advice on trendy fashion and styling, your pool party experience will but nothing short of a delight.  

Pool Party Time! 

1.Swimsuit

What you cannot forget is a swimsuit.  For which swimsuit best suits your body shape, see our post on "How to Find a Perfect Swimsuit for Your Body Shape." For a party that is held at the pool, I recommend a trendy one-piece swimsuit because with a one piece, you do not need to pile on more clothes. The upper part of the swimsuit will serve as top, and at any time you're ready to jump into the pull (or playfully be pushed into the pool).

2.Scarf

You can wear a scarf around your waist (instead of a skirt); you can make a mini skirt out of the scarf; or you can use the scarf as a hairpiece. Whether the scarf is in one color or multi-color, it does not matter.

3. "All in one" piece

A long dress, huge sarong, kimono, or jumpsuit--all of the aforementioned pieces are very trendy. The bright side of wearing a one piece is not having to worry about additional clothing pieces except colorful accessories, e.g. earrings or pink flowers in your hair.

4. "Sun Protection"--Hat, Sunscreen & Sunglasses 

You can use sunglasses, hat or sunscreen lotion to protect your skin from sun's rays. You can wear and use them altogether.

5. Footwear

If you want to dress to impress at the pool party, wear wedge sandals, which will elongate your legs, and help to maintain great posture. If wedge sandals give you problems (e.g., blisters or discomfort), feel free to slip on flip-flops (always carry a spare in your beach bag)!

Pozvani ste na ljetnu zabavu? Ali to nije standarnda zabava u klubu, to će biti zabava pored bazena. U panici ste ? Malo vremena, a vi nemate pojma šta odjenutu za tu priliku? Donosimo vam super trendy komade uz koje će zabava uz bazen biti pravi užitak!

1. Kupaći kostim

Ono što ne smijete zaboraviti jeste kupaći kostim. Za party koji se održava pored bazena, moja preporuka je trendovski jednodijelni kupaći kostim, iz razloga što vam uz njega ne treba još mnogo odjeće. Gornji dio kupaćeg kostima neka posluži umjesto topića, a u svako doba ste spremni i za bacanje u bazen (na vrhuncu zabave).

 

2. Marama/pareo 

Možete je staviti oko struka (umjesto suknjice), svezati sa njom vašu nestašnu kosu ili napraviti mini haljinicu. A da li će biti jednobojna ili u više nijansi, svejedno je.

3. "Sve u jednom" komad

Duga haljina, veliki pareo, kimono, kombinezon - sve je super zgodno, dok je u jednom komadu. Ne zahtjeva dodatne komade, osim poneki detalj poput šarenih perjanih naušnica ili pink cvjetića u kosi.

4.Zaštita od sunca

Možete koristiti naočale, šešir ili zaštitnu kremu. A možete i sve odjednom. Bitno je samo da ste zaštićeni od sunčevih zraka, te da bezbrižno uživate u party-u.

5.Obuća

Ukoliko želite zadiviti ekipu oko bazena, onda krenite na party u sandalama sa punom petom, koje izdužuju noge i vaš hod čine ženstvenijim. Ukoliko želite super provod, bez nerviranja zbog žuljeva na nogama i visokih štikli, neka udobne japanke budu vaš izbor obuće.

I da, ono najbitnije, povedite nekoliko svojih prijatelja, kako bi i oni uživali i zabavavljali se na ljetnom party-u.
