5. Beach or Pool Party
It’s not a formal event but it is to be considered. This is the appropriate event to show off the hot legs and flat belly. You can wear your bikini beneath a long free maxi dress that flows with the wind. Colorful overalls and tops with very romantic and chic volants are also suitable for a beach party. For a perfect pool party, you can wear a swimsuit paired with shorts or a skit and gladiator sandals. A Play suit paired with simple accessories is also an excellent idea.
