Summer 2015 Style Inspiration: What to Wear to an Amusement Park

Summer has arrived! And what better way to get into the swing of things than with a little amusement park fun.

Chantel writes, “Claire, can you please do a What to Wear to a Disney park or an amusement park for July? I want to know how to stay cool in the summer heat.”

My motto for amusement park fashion is comfort, comfort, comfort! You will most likely be spending the entire day walking around, so wearing a comfortable pair of shoes and clothes that you can function easily in are key. To give you some ideas on what to wear, I created a few comfy-chic looks fit for a day in the summer sun.

Keep things simple in a pair of sweatshirt shorts and a grey jersey tank top.
