Sun Dressing
Mint Main - 3 years ago - Kathryn Lovell
“Summer time and the dressing is easy…”
George Gershwin, 1898 – 1937
| Sunday morning at the dog park? Midweek business lunch? Friday night opera tickets? It’s never been so easy to be perfectly dressed. All you need to look put together right now is a handful of sundresses and a couple pairs of sandals.
|
Sun  An excellent choice for walking the dog, wine tasting or farmer’s market. Flippies or low heeled slides finish it off.
|
Sheath  A black and white sheath is refreshingly professional. Play with color or keep it graphic with black and white.
|
Wrap  Perfect for wedding receptions and dining al fresco in Monaco. (You never know when you might meet a wealthy somebody with EU citizenship…) All you need is a pashmina and glitzy sandals. |

Covered Up

In the United States, 20 people a day die from skin cancer.

| Ahh…the first full week of June, the gate way of summer. It’s the season of poolside vacations, weekend barbeques, backyard badminton and all sorts of other sunny activities. Instead of retiring indoors when you tire of the sun, don a cover up. To keep the look fashionable instead of frumpy, seek out one with a dash of glamour. When you’re shopping, ask yourself “Will this look good with large sunglasses and a fruity drink with an umbrella in it?” If the answer is yes, by all means buy it.

Pull Over  Legend has it that Jackie O was once turned away from the Four Seasons because their dress code didn’t allow women to wear trousers in the dining room. She removed her pants in the ladies room and then she and her companions enjoyed a lovely lunch- with Mrs. Onassis wearing just her tunic. You can skirt a policy or take a break from the sun in a lightweight, embellished tunic.
|
Tied On  Wear it as a skirt, a dress or a shawl. Ball it up if you need a pillow or use it as a blanket and have a picnic. You could probably do all sorts of first aid things with it if necessary, but that’s beyond my expertise. What I do know is that there are few fashion items more versatile than a pareo and the brighter the better when you’re choosing a pattern.
|
Brimming  Peeling sunburns get gunky under moisturizers and make up. Plus the possibility of wrinkles, sun spots and skin cancer. Better to avoid it all together with a sensational hat. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends a minimum of a 3 inch brim. Use the width of your shoulders as your maximum brim guide. |
