Her Campus writer Manon shared ways to transform your hair for the perfect summer look. Another way to revamp yourself during the summer is to try out a variety of new outfit. Here are some tips that will make you look confident and stylish all summer long!

Tip #1: Don’t stick to one style

There are so many online quizzes on different fashion magazine websites to help pinpoint the one style you should stick with. Why stick to one style when you can experiment find clothes you love? If you are used to dressing edgy, switch it up and buy some girly pieces. Or, you can even pair an edgy skirt with a preppy top. There are no rules when it comes to fashion as long as you are wearing something you feel confident in. Don’t be afraid to go out of your comfort zone!

Tip #2: Don’t play it safe, add some color

One thing I am trying to experiment with this summer is prints. Prints can be really gorgeous when paired with the right blouse or skirt. It’s easy to stick to solids or wear a lot of black, (trust me I own way too much black) so for summer try to make your wardrobe pop by including some crazy, funky prints. One way to add color is to complete a look with some bold, pastel heels. If you are not a fan of heels, you can still wear some animal print flats or printed Keds.

Tip #3: Don’t just wear fitted dresses – find the perfect romper

When some people think of summer, they think of pretty summer dresses. While I love a cute summer dress, my favorite thing to wear during the summer is a romper or jumpsuit. Somehow it’s impossible to not look effortlessly chic. From cutouts and lace, to attention-grabbing prints, rompers come in so many styles, so they look great on everyone. Plus, rompers are fun and flirty and require minimal styling. Pair one with your favorite crossbody bag and trendy cat-eye sunglasses, and everyone will be admiring your style.

Tip #4: Don’t worry about what everyone else is wearing

Yes, of course, following trends is fun and it is a great way to come up with new fashion ideas. However, when it comes to deciding what to wear, everyone should focus on wearing clothes that embody their personality. If you see something you like and it has the right fitting, buy it! With the proper fitting, anyone can work any outfit regardless of body type. Whatever you choose to wear, make sure to strut in your summer outfit so that everyone knows you that you’re proud of what you are wearing.
