What’s your ideal Sunday Funday? Mine is one with friends, food, and sunshine-filled adventure. It can be tricky because Florida weather is notorious for changing on a dime and being all over the place in general. But, as a NW Florida native and fashion expert, I’ve mastered what to wear here for all temperatures and especially for a day of brunch and activity. Just one outfit will suffice!
What to wear to a brunch & beach day when it’s cold:
(Oct/Nov-April/May) Of course, it doesn’t get as cold here as other places, but the sea breeze can be killer. Be mindful of the fabrics you wear as wind will go through some (like linen and cotton) and stop at others (certain polyester and polyester blends). Anything that blocks the wind will be a game changer for these temperatures.
Socks
Don’t forget socks. The thicker the better. Billabong in Grand Boulevard carries a brand called Stance that is thick, durable, and perfect for all activities.
Shoes
Sneakers or high top sneakers. Check out Vans or Journey’s in Destin Commons.
Leggings
Black leggings are great for a cute brunch outfit and an active day outdoors. If they’re of nicer quality and thicker, they’ll do the job as long as your ankles and neck are covered along with the rest of your body. Old Navy & Aerie in Destin Commons have great options. www.ScarlettMag.com
