Summer is just around the corner and it’s time to peel off those layers of clothing you’ve been hiding under all winter. When you look good, you feel good, and it’ll soon be warm enough to show off that beach body you’ve been working so hard for! From pool parties to a night out on the scene, we’ve got your outfits covered for this summer’s hottest outdoor events. Located along Polson Pier is Cabana Pool Bar, and since summer is the season of pool parties, this is the place you want to be! So there’s a pool, of course you’re going to wear your bikini, right? Remember that this venue is by the harbourfront and it tends to be a few degrees cooler by the water. Throw a lightweight cardigan over top or pair your favourite swimsuit with a flowy kimono. You’ll definitely want to accessorize if you’re just going to be wearing your swimsuit. Add a body chain that will catch the light when you’re walking around. If you won’t be getting in the pool, pair a maxi skirt with a cropped top; don’t be afraid to show a little skin! Stay away from jeans. It’s a casual chic venue, and you don’t want to be the one that shows up in jeans!
After a tiring day, grab some friends and head to the Thompson Rooftop Lounge, one of Toronto’s most talked about hotspots. Not only does it feature an infinity pool, but you also get a full view of the Toronto skyline! There’s no better way to relax than to grab a couple of drinks and have a good laugh, with the city lights as your backdrop. This venue is a little more upscale than your typical lounge and a strict dress code is in effect. But hey, who doesn’t love an excuse to dress up? Shorts aren’t allowed when you’re visiting this venue in the evening so harem pants with a pair of booties are a great alternative. Contrast these loose fit pants with a more fitted shirt on top. You’ll look sophisticated and chic with this little number! Dresses are also perfect for this occasion. A short, slim fit dress will show off your body and your legs. Instead of flip flops, which are not allowed at this venue, opt for high heels to add length to your legs. Short dresses aren’t for everyone’s taste but you can show off those legs just as well with a side slit maxi dress or skirt! Style your maxi with a blazer for a professional feel, a leather jacket for an edgier vibe, or a simple cardigan for a laid back look. The possibilities are endless! Just remember, maxi skirts and dresses are your best friends this season. You will look absolutely stunning! And the best part? It’s completely effortless to throw an outfit together with this staple piece in your closet!
