Marco Island and Naples, Florida fashion lookbook
Dressing up in Florida can be quite tricky (and sticky) due to the warm climate and humidity. I wore quite a bit of rompers (which can be easily transitioned from day to night look), lightweight dresses, and cotton tees paired with shorts.
Linen and cotton materials are great for warmer climates as they are “breathable”, natural fabrics which is great for Florida fashion. I like wearing shorts and dresses as it allows for that cool breeze to keep you feeling comfortable in that hot Florida sun. Of course, be sure to bring that bathing suit to cool off in the ocean or pool!
