What to Wear in August ? 31 Stylish Outfit Ideas

This warm month is prepared to shower us with rain and life. With the days longer, August is all about appreciating the last few days of summer and greenery before we move to Fall. This is also the last month of vacationing and partying before we return to our daily routines of nine-to-five.

And while we may not be ready to pack up our bathing suits, all of us are ready for a revamp in our summer wardrobe, and August brings about a colossal potential to style our favourite looks and show them off. And now that vacations are over and its time for schools to reopen, why not upgrade your school/college outfit game?

Styling tips:

  • The best options for the type of cloth are chiffon, lawn, and certain types of cotton.
  • This is the month where you can effortlessly rock summer dresses with sandals.
  • In parts of the world experiencing monsoon rains, humidity levels are off the charts, so choose something accordingly.
  • Go for a no-makeup look so that your makeup does not melt off during the day and so that you can let your skin breathe! Also, a bare face in the sun adds to your radiance.
  • Pinks and nudes are preferred over dark shades of lipstick to compliment the weather.
  • Glossy makeup is in trend this season. Glossy lids and lips are quick and easy-to-do, even for amateurs, and they go with all the outfits!
  • A foul odor is such a turn-off! It is equally important to smell as good as you look, so do not forget to keep your deodorant in your purse as a back-up. Go for a fruity scent to match the summer vibe!
  • Sunscreen is your best friend this month. Apply it to your face, neck, arms, and any other part of your body exposed to the sun. You will thank us later.
