Summer Essentials: Fashionable Yet Fun Styles

Stock up on summer staples at Target.

Unpacking after spring break might leave homecomers with a bit of an unsettling feeling. The faded black capris, slightly shredded swimsuit and that dress with the tiny stain on the shoulder served you well for vacationing exploits. However, a serious wardrobe update is absolutely necessary to fashionably last through the entire summer.

Although people often immediately think of bathing suits when summer clothes come to mind, let’s start with some styles that you can begin utilizing this upcoming weekend. Light and airy, yet classy dresses will take the ladies from early May communions and Memorial Day barbecues to the last wedding of the summer.

Try the Women’s Plus Size Mossimo Blue Turquoise V-neck  or the slightly more casual Women’s Plus Size Merona Hot Orange V-neck Drape Knit for a blast of color. Both styles are available right in Levittown at Target. Visit the website to purchase styles you cannot find in the store.

Let’s move on to more casual clothing for nights spent sitting out with neighbors while enjoying cocktails or leisurely strolls on the beach with your sweetheart. Target carries an entire range of Mossimo t-shirts in staple colors such as grey, black and white and in the fabulously bright colors of the season including guava berry, cayenne and keepsake aqua. Styles are just as varied as the colors with scoopnecks, pocket tees, drapey tees, tissue tees and more.

Men are just as lucky in the t-shirt department, as they are invited to channel their inner child with Marvin the Martian, Beavis and Butthead and Fraggle Rock decorated shirts. The more serious man can indulge in the crisp Shaun White Oxford Shirt or the Shaun Men’s Plaid Woven Grey Plaid.

Keep little ones in mind this shopping season, as they are certainly ready for some wardrobe updates as well. Easter is nearly upon us, but certainly some have waited until the last minute to purchase that special frock for the little girl of the household. Consider the springy Girls’ Cherokee White/Pink Cap Sleeve Dress with Carnations or the daintily gorgeous Girls’ Cherokee Dress with Blue Plaid-White.

Now let us turn our attention back to swimsuits. Target is practically a swimsuit gallery this time of year, and we would suggest utilizing their online tool to make the usually overwhelming practice a bit easier. Sort swimwear by style or color, or mix and match your favorite tops and bottoms to create options that are perfect for you. Just visit www.target.com.
