Cottage fashion: 15 Style Panel tips for keeping it fashionable when you’re up north this summer
While we may have tackled the cozy-casual look last winter, taking on cottage style in the summer can be a task a tad more difficult. The cottage lifestyle is all about freedom and relaxation, so it’s no question our style should reflect the same characteristics. The last thing we want is to look prim and proper while lounging on the deck, right?
With the July long weekend fast approaching, we want to make sure your wardrobe is ready for the countryside. Whether you’re heading up to your family cottage or hanging out with friends at a campsite, we have tips on how to retain your everyday flair during your time away from the city. So before you throw on your favourite sweats or give in to the flip flops, read what our ladies from the Style Panel have to say on how to put together an effortless chic look at the cottage this season.
If you’re a girl who doesn’t like to waste time thinking of what to wear at the cottage, See Shop Eat Do’s Whitney Cosgrave suggests a stress-free ensemble. By throwing on a cute romper in the morning, you achieve the perfect casual yet put together look to prance around in the sun all day. A cottage look is never complete without topping it off with a chic hair accessory. While Leah Says’ Leah Gust adds a baseball hat to complete her sportswear inspired outfit, Lion Hunter’s Mo Handahu accessorizes with a chic turban to solve her no-time-to-fuss look. BornLippy’s Melanie Morais believes in adding cute accessories like a fedora or sunglasses, not only blocks the summer sun, but to also add a stylish twist to a basic look. If you’re still unsure of what to pack for the cottage, The Style Mogul’s Christina Cravero advises us to always remember the 3 C’s: casual, chic and comfort.
