When we were younger, summer was synonymous with play. The warmer weather meant school was out, the days were longer, and recess was essentially 3 months long. Whether it was a simple game of tag or a more organized sport, the arrival of summer meant one thing: game on! Unfortunately for us, that childhood wonder dissipates rather quickly but our adult adaptation of “play” can still inspire and generate a similar sense of joyful anticipation.

Summer for us now means longer days, the illustrious summer Fridays, and capitalizing on the warmer temperatures and time we have outdoors. Coming off of a year and a half where social interactions were restricted a best and prohibited at worst, making the most of our time outdoors is a bonafide necessity. And of course the question of summer dressing comes into play though when consulting your schedule of summer activities.

Althleisure has been the pinnacle of style during quarantine and while we might be ready to shed that pandemic wardrobe in favor of clothes you can’t wear on your couch, the familiarity of althleisure provides a level of comfort that we need while transitioning to being outside again. The best part about this type of summer dressing is that it’s both functional and chic. So whether you are playing the field and reliving the summers of your childhood or spectating in the stands, GRAZIA has put together the ultimate guide on how to dress for any outdoor activity summer has in store for you.
