lack of color – We Are Handsome

Here at WAH HQ we love a good pool party. Combine good company, great food, cocktails and awesome tunes and pool action and we will be there in a heartbeat. It can be difficult to find the right outfit for an occasion like this. Questions are raised? Do I go completely casual? If so how casual? Do I wear a bikini or one piece? Hats? Shoes? Throwover? What a debacle! So let us make a few suggestions. Here are 3 key looks perfect for pool party vibes.

The Handsome Wanderer

This look is fun, sexy but casual. You can never go wrong in The Vagabond Scoop One piece. It is flattering and seamless, making you feel absolutley gorgeous. Denim cut offs are a must this summer. Whether you are a shorty short girl or simply want to get creative with a pair of vintage, denim is a versatile choice, able to transition from day to night. Obviously our skin needs shade, as do our eyes, so a cute fedora and a killer pair of unique sunnies is an essential. Pair this with a neon bag and a pair of slides and you are summer perfect.

Playful Perfection

Pastels, denim, embroidered bags, wide brimmed hats and a pop of colour? Frenchy Chic meets the never ending summer (all you need is a cute hipster bike)! From our latest collection, The Bahamas String bikini is subtle but oh so sweet. Pair this with a pastel denim swing skirt, mirror sunnies (Anna Dello Russo inspired) and a pale shade wide brim fedora from Lack Of Color and you are the perfect combination of fun, flirt and beach. The playful nature of this outfit emulates the cool, fun summer vibes of a pool party!

All Black Everything

If you’re more of a sitting by the pool with a cocktail in hand kinda girl, we got your back! Obviously The Pantera Silk Shaft dress is a perfect option. It’s elegant, sexy, eye catching, light enough to keep you cool, modest enough to cover all the right places. Its versatility provides a seamless transition from the afternoon sun into to the fading sunset. A simple yet statement heel says all the right things, when accessorized with a traditional wayfarer, fedora and gypsy cuff from Hipanema. Adding a pop of colour on your lips and nails provides a mischevious element to the look. And why wouldn’t you want to be cheeky? It is a pool party after all!

So if you happen to be invited to a pool party this summer or end up spending your sunday afternoon with our good friends at The Olsen Pool Club, make this your inspiration to create the perfect Pool Party outfit.

My earliest memories of hats aren’t the fondest. I always remember long days in the sun when I was younger and Mum forcing me to wear this dorky fluro cap with the flap on the back, to keep the sun off my neck. Even at a young age I was fashion conscious and kept telling mum how incredibly daggy she was making me look. I am sure that from an adults perspective I looked adorable but needless to say I was never impressed with Mum and Dads hat choice.

But alas, I grew up (thank god) and got to choose my own hats. Now I have a very strong bond with the hats I choose. Why? Well I am quite small, so I do battle to keep a hat on my head without it being ruined by the wind, blowing off my head and into the ocean or the bushes or even on the road. So you can imagine that when I find a hat I love and that fits….I am a happy girl.

Currently I am loving Lack Of Color. Their selection of wide brimmed hats in different colours, is not only on trend but perfect for the impending scorching heat of the Australian summer. One must look stylish whilst being sun smart. One of the things I love about Lack of Color is that they sell the option of hat filler! So for tiny humans like myself who have a mini head, you can line the hat with hat filler so that it neatly and comfortably fits your head without your hat flying off into the sunset. Bonus!

My pick? The Montana Midnight Muse

Jump on their website to shop Lack of Color and be sure to follow this gorgeous label on Instagram @lackofcoloraus.

A hat can say a lot about a person. Just make sure its not fluro and daggy like my childhoods.
