Pull off the perfect pool party outfit with ease
Looking fashionable and comfortable at a pool party will be a breeze if one follows the advice and tips of Adelaide Adel Rakgoale, a fashion designer.
POLOKWANE – “Many people have the misperception that if you attend a pool party you have to wear a bikini or a swimsuit but this isn’t the case as most people who attend these parties don’t even swim during the occasion. All a girl needs when going to a pool party is some shorts, it doesn’t matter what colour or texture they are, as long as you’re wearing some shorts or a skirt, with a straw hat, sunglasses and sandals,” Adel explained.
She added the good thing about pool parties is that one has an excuse to look hot in their bikinis, even if they don’t feel like swimming. “If you’re going to be lazy to change at the party, you can also rock a bikini or swimsuit under the outfit you’re wearing. This way you can easily enjoy a dip in the pool without first facing the schlep of changing into your swimwear first.”
Adel added wearing long jeans to a party is definitely a wardrobe option you want to skip.
“Even if you won’t swim or join your friends in the pool, I personally prefer not to wear jeans to a pool party as they might accidentally get wet during and denim takes a long time to dry. Rather opt for a flowy dress or light clothes that dry quickly. This will make your life easier at a pool party. And don’t forget that sunscreen girls,” she advised.
She added she prefers wearing rubber sandals when attending a pool party as the floor might be slippery. “Make sure you wear shoes that will grip onto the floor. Believe me, you don’t want to be ‘that one who fell’ and become the laughing stock of the party.”
