Style Tips on How to Dress Like You're Off to Summer Camp

Ah, summer. When the weather is hot, the sun is shining and the water is cool, they always remind us of days when our parents used to drag us out of bed and take us to summer camp. Then by the end of camp, we didn't want to go home because we're going to miss our bonfire camping in the woods, the swimming activity by the camp lake with your girlfriends, or talking to a cute boy you met.

Oh well, those fun days are far long and gone. Why did we ever need to grow up? Now most of us are stuck in an office doing menial desk jobs while summer is calling us to go out.

Although we no longer have the luxury to take long summer breaks to go to the woods and tell ghost stories or flirt with a cute boy from out of state, we can still feel the camp magic again by simply dressing like a camper. Let the wave of nostalgia hit you with these camp-inspired fashion styles:

1. Put on a pair of really cute, candy-colored sunnies.

Remember that time when you used to wear basic black sunglasses just so you could spy on the cute camp councilor or bad-boy-looking hottie who's 2 years older than you? I know I do and I couldn't help but feel completely twitterpated whenever my crush looked my way while keeping my ogling eyes well hidden under the shades. But rather than sporting your old black wayfarers, opt for something fun, like LookbookStore's floral circle lens.

2. Bring out your loose-fitting denim shorts.

I bet after years of running, your legs are more toned than you were 8 or 15 years ago. Yet, even though your too old to go to summer camps now, you can still show off your sexy, "weet-wheoo" wolf-whistle-worthy legs with short shorts. Just opt for loose-fitting jeans to create an illusion of slim legs.

3. Carry a fun, colorful bag on your back or shoulders.

Now that fanny packs are back, it doesn't hurt to add one to your bag collection. Besides that good news, it's now considered very chic to wear floral backpacks no matter how juvenile they may seem. So go ahead and let your playful personality shine with a floral backpack.

4. Wear your bikini with cutoffs and tank top.

If it was a  good and convenient while hanging out by the lake back then, doing it is still good when you plan on chilling in the beach or pool. But it's now even better because you're at the right age to dress that way and accessorizing it with spiked punch on one hand while chatting with a cute bartender.

We may now be over the age limit to go to summer camps, but we can feel the wave of blissful nostalgia by sporting these styles.
