Ralph Lauren Summertime Style | Guest Editorial + Outfit Inspiration

One of the most noticeable and fun aspects of the spring season is that everything brightens and begins to look its very best. The days become sunnier and longer, all sorts of plants and flowers begin to bloom, birds and other assorted animals make themselves heard and seen, and people spend more time outside socializing, exercising, swimming, or even just soaking up the sun. It is both relaxing and invigorating to see. One place at which the effects of spring upon people’s appearance is perhaps the most clear is on the average college campus, where the warming of the weather pulls students out to the quads in droves, as they show off colorful assortments of shorts, polo shirts, flip-flops and sun dresses, etc.

You may have noticed this spectacle specifically on a graduation weekend, when the combination of the warm weather, celebratory moods, and the company of family and friends encourages everyone to look his or her best. Students crowd their campuses in bright colors and bright smiles, looking relaxed and ready for the warm summer season. One can’t help seeing such a happy sight without wanting to take part; it is all connected to the inviting quality of the spring season, which compels you to look and feel your best, especially in the company of good friends and family.

To accommodate the urge so many of us have to be a part of the joyous visual appeal of spring and summer, many clothing and apparel companies, such as Ralph Lauren and various others, offer early summer collections, showing you what people will be wearing in the coming months, and how to dress the way you might picture yourself in your ideal vision of the summer. Take a look at the catalogues and stores of such companies to find out what styles and trends will be popular this summer, and start fitting yourself to your vision.

One of the best things about warm weather clothing is that you can look your best in an extremely casual way; it is possible, and indeed easy, to wear loose or warm clothing that fits you comfortably, and to still look perfectly appropriate. Celebrate the coming summer by putting away old and uncomfortable clothes, and check out your favorite nearby clothing store’s ideas and collections for the spring and summer. If nothing else, you’ll fit in perfectly with the inviting scenes of warm weather college environments, and you’ll feel and look fantastic.
