When you head for the beach you first think of comfort before anything else. Something that feels light on your body and is loosely fitted, right? But are you aware that you can still look stylish and comfortable at the same time? Even as the sand gets into your gear you can carry off the experience with aplomb and chic.
You can get into beach pants replete with pockets – slash ones at the front and flap ones at the back. Loose and baggy, these are set off by a knotted silk drawstring. Inseam by 33 inches, they are available in cotton twills rendered supple by stone wash (enzyme). Looks rather hip, this one.
For women, velour beach pants in cotton or polyester in flashy yellow (resembling the color of sunrise) or magenta with a matching hoodie and banded waist looks absolutely ravishing on the golden sand. For the slightly more conservative, open-hem beach pants with somewhat wider pleats at the top and set off by an elastic waist band works very well.
It keeps you both comfortable and cool. What’s more, you can look both simple and hip with a logo appliqué sewn at the back and very wide legs designed to protect you from the sting operation tactics of beach creatures like crabs, etc. A lot of people prefer a logo that is heart-shaped, but you can take your pick.
What about the days that are hot and humid? After all, not all summer days are drip dry and beautiful. For women in particular, there are some great choices in the shape of moisture resistant beach ‘chop’ pants made of bamboo viscose fibrous material. The fabric is so designed that it doesn’t accumulate body odor and keeps dry. The waist is a little low cut – about three inches below the navel – and curved.
The Shi-shi hit which is just above the ankles is meant to give adequate ventilation to your legs compared to normal, regular pants. These pants also give you great style and statement with pockets in the jean-style at the front and patch pockets at the back. The latter are also designed keeping practicality in view, that is, if you are thinking of buying your groceries on the way they are great for keeping your wallet of small change and your keys. Here is probably one of the best ways of blending expediency with chic.
This summer you have quite a range at your disposal- from the comfy to the stylish, to the common-sense to modish, you can bask in the sun and sand with lower raiment of your choice. |
