What to Wear to a Summer BBQ

It's time to shed some layers, slap on the SPF and head outside for some summer fun. Outdoor barbeques happen to be one of our all-time favorite ways to ring in the warmer weather. After all, there’s nothing better than kicking back with an ice-cold beer and a burgers (or portobello patty, if that’s what you prefer).

You can't go wrong with gingham. Trust us.

  • beach sandls

    Flat sandals for every occasion—because who needs heels?

    Unless you’re one of those people who doesn’t like your feet, you like sandals. (And if not, I’d like to know know why, because sandals are easy, comfy and ideal for showing off cool nail polish colors. I love them.) They’re great for every occasion—work, weekend, beach, parties—with only one catch: it’s hard to find a single pair that’s right for all of them.

  • Swimsuits for body type

  • Floral-appliqué triangle bikini

    The best swimsuit for your body type—yes, yours!

    When morning talk shows and local newspapers dole out their seasonal swimsuit shopping advice, I’m usually pretty disappointed by the lack of body types represented. What about the women who don’t resemble fruit? (Or aren’t boy-shaped—the third “one of these things is not like the other” category I’ve never quite understood. Couldn’t they say “banana?” Or is that somehow more offensive than “apple” and “pear” shapes?)
