31 Comfortable Summery Outfits That Will Get You Ready For The New Season
There's still no straight answer as to when you'll be able to get your hair cut, work out at the gym, or finally host a dinner party with your friends. But, you can still look forward to warm weather and sunshine arriving this month. You'll be able to open your windows, sit on your patio (or fire escape) dressed in comfortable summer-worthy outfits that you'll want to break out for months to come.
Your agenda for the month of May includes Zoom calls, virtual workouts, and puzzles with your quarantine clan, but now that you've established a routine, switch things up when it comes to dressing for these occasions. While you're working for home, consider parting ways with your everyday sweats and opting for comfy ribbed pants instead. Or if you're seeking both comfort and elegance, pull out your favorite summer dress. And if your roommates are having a Friday game night, show up to the living room in a soft silk blouse (or go outside the box and wear your silk scarf as a top).
To help you find the perfect May outfit — no matter where the month takes you — keep scrolling to find 31 comfortable summer outfits. Remember to stay positive and keep dressing fun.
