Beach Bocce Ball Fashion: Cool and Loose
Now that
warm weather has finally arrived, it’s time to get together for a party at the beach,
park, or backyard and toss some Beach Bocce balls. But you don’t want to go out
there looking like a schlub, do you? Beach Bocce fashion really boils down to
two elements—looking cool and feeling cool. If you’re smart, the two will go
hand in hand.
Bold colors
are always a good decision. For guys, brightly colored swim shorts and Panama
shirts are a good combination. For the women, consider a printed sundress,
which never goes out of style. Unlike the boardroom, the beach is a place where
it’s OK to stand out in a crowd. Beach Bocce Ball is one of the most colorful
games out there, so why not dress to match?
Too many people
neglect headgear when they step outdoors. When you’re out playing games on the
beach, a wide-brimmed sunhat will keep you cool better than any other accessory
and look snazzy in the process. Unless you’re down on the farm, you can
probably do better than a run-of-the-mill straw hat. A white or tan safari hat
looks great no matter your age and stays in place if the wind picks up. Ladies
have a lot of room for creativity in terms of lids. Pretend it’s the Kentucky
Derby and just go crazy.
Here’s the
easy part: Shoes are optional. Flip-flops, sandals and deck shoes are welcome.
Ski-boots? Don’t think so. This is summer, people, get with the program!
I’ll leave
you with one final tip: Have fun. This isn’t the runway and it’s not the Summer
Olympics either. It’s a party at the beach. Enjoy the camaraderie of a good
game but don’t get too serious.
