Summers bring us backyard BBQs, pool parties and cookouts, which beg the most bothering question – what to wear at an afternoon BBQ party?
While we all are aware of some basic fashion commandments like heels are not for the grass; we also need to be careful if we end up being overdressed. Even we should take care of the fact that unless the BBQ party invitation demands a certain dress code, it’s wise to stick to your flats and cropped pants/shorts or skirt, whatever you feel comfortable in.
Here are some relevant fashion tips we have gathered to help you on such invites!
1. Keep off your heels
Heels will dig into the grass and make it extremely difficult to walk. It is best adviced to wear flats or wedges to a barbeque party.
You can do a fun DIY and give your flats a new makeover with neon lace to wear to such parties.

2. Have a casual affair
Pick lightweight and airy outfits that give you optimum comfort at the afternoon garden party. Since it would be quite sunny out there, don’t pile on your accessories, instead go with minimal jewelries apart from your sunglasses and watch which your obvious choice is.
Don’t opt for cut out dresses, as you won’t like to return with a tanned skin.
3. Pick a stand out accessory
If you could manage to flaunt a stand out fashion element then you need have to look for something else. For instance, any accessory including bag, shoes or hat made of Raffia, can dramatically add scoring points to your fashion meter. There are plenty different ways to style your statement necklace.
And if you don’t find such things, then stick to your statement-making sunglasses or bag that are winners at such events.

4. Go for cotton ensembles
Cotton is our ultimate savior during hot summer days. Since maxi dresses are quite in fashion these days, you can settle for a short maxi dress if you have the legs to flaunt for or the full length one if you’ve the height.
