Why try to be fashionable if you don’t feel good in what you’re wearing? A lot of women out there often battle with this question. They want to look good in the newest, trendy styles, however, oftentimes those trendy clothes end up in the back of the closet to collect dust. Why? It doesn’t fit right, that color is all wrong, those shoes hurt my feet, when am I ever going to wear that again? Sound familiar?

It’s time to end the never-ending cycle of sending our misfit clothes to the dark abyss of what is known as our closets and liberate ourselves from fashion ideas that make us uncomfortable. As women, if we’re not comfortable in what we are wearing, we’re not confident in ourselves. So, without further ado, here are five trendy, yet comfortable, Hill Country fashion statements that will make you feel good in any situation.

Classic Hill Country Gal

Remember those cut-off shorts you used to make in high school? They are very much still in fashion. Why not go back in time a little? Grab those old pair of jeans, a pair of scissors, and get to creating your own trendy style! If you have never made a pair of cut-offs, no worries. This tutorial by Create/Enjoy will walk you through the process. When you are done, throw on those shorts with a sassy t-shirt, like the one above from our Texas Hill Country shop, and tie the look together with a pair of boots, a cowgirl hat, and a belt buckle that screams Texas gal.

Whether you are hanging out poolside or headed to one of Hill Country’s many lakes and rivers, do so in style with beach fashion that is sure to turn heads. Many of women feel less that confident showing off the parts they like the least at a public venue. A catchy swimsuit full of vibrant colors and fun patterns will draw attention away from the thighs and instill a confidence in you that will allow you to focus solely on having a good time. A cute pair of waterproof sandals will keep your feet safe from hot sand (or pavement) while you show off your freshly pedicured toes. Pair your suit with an airy cover-up and a fabulous set of shades to keep the sun off your shoulders and out of your eyes when things get hot. Pack your sunscreen, water bottle, and a good book in a trendy tote to tie the look together.

Hittin’ the Trails

The Texas Hill Country is chock full of trails to run, hike, and enjoy, but those summer days can get toasty! Keep it cool by planning your wardrobe around the Texas heat, and look great doing it. A top that allows for ventilation, shorts that cool you off while you workout, and socks that allow those tootsies to breath have infiltrated the market. Combine all that fashion with a good pair of shoes and safety gear to stay comfortable and safe as you explore all that the Texas Hill Country has to offer.

Comfort doesn’t have to mean frumpy. However, there are those days where dressing up is hard to do. We’ve all had those days, on more than one occasion, but that doesn’t mean that we have to look like we just crawled out of bed. If you don’t have the time for fashion or just don’t feel like getting dressed, no worries, we’ve got you covered. A cute sleeveless wrap top, like the one above from LURE by Y&F, paired with capri leggings will keep you cool, yet relaxed. Keep a pair of classic flip flops next to the door in case you need to run out for a quick errand. No time to wash your hair? Pull your hair up into a messy bun or ponytail and add a hair wrap, head band, or bandanna. Finish off your look with a cute necklace and you will feel confident, even on those lazy days.
