Embrace the Heat with Light Fabrics.
When it comes to planning how to dress for a Vegas summer, you won’t survive the heat without fabrics that are lightweight and breathable. Of course, you will want to stay inside or in the pool as much as you can. But, since there are lots of ways to explore Vegas outside, you need to be ready to dress for the heat!
Look for for cotton, linen, or rayon materials that will keep you cool. Maxi dresses, flowy skirts, and loose-fitting tops are also stylish options for staying comfortable. Show some skin, but cover up with sunscreen and bring a hat to prevent those annoying sunburns.
Bring Out the Statement Pieces.
Vegas is all about making a statement, and one way to do that is to pack some statement pieces! Elevate your Vegas summer fashion with bold jewelry, trendy sunglasses, and colorful pieces. Add a pop of color and personality to any outfit. Bring items that you can wear at any time of day or night. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different textures and patterns, and express yourself with fun with your accessories!
When it comes to vacationing in Vegas, go big or go home! Where else can you get away with your most expressive outfits?
Dress Up for Nightlife.
A trip to Vegas isn’t complete without a late night out. Vegas is known for its glamorous nightlife, so this is your time to dress to impress.
Dressing up for nightlife means being bold and daring. Bring out your best heels and most fabulous jewelry. Go for a statement dress or jumpsuit in a bright color or bold print. Go basic with bold accessories, specifically something with sparkles. Pair your outfit with strappy heels and a clutch for a chic and sophisticated look. Pair your look with a bold lip and dark, expressive eye makeup. Pull out everything you’ve got for a night out in Vegas.
Dressing up doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. Make sure you can move in your dress and break in those new heels ahead of time. Trust me, you will have more fun when you are comfortable.

Dress Down for Day Club.
Day club is somewhere in between night club and spending a day at the resort pool. Its clubbing with a twist, an excuse to party and enjoy great DJs all day long. It’s a step up from spending a day by the pool because you get to dress to impress, pool party edition. Regardless, it will be hot out there. Pick out your favorite swimsuit, do your hair and makeup, and put on your favorite pair of sunnies. Day clubs often have a dress code just like night club, just more pool-related.
Comfortable Shoes Will Save You.
Unless you stay in one place the entire time or take other transport, Vegas can include a lot of walking. While Vegas is known for its glamorous nightlife, it’s important to remember that you’ll be doing a lot of walking during the day. Comfortable yet stylish shoes are a must-have for any Vegas trip, especially during the summer. Bring stylish sneakers and sandals to keep your feet happy while you explore the city.
Spend the Day at the Resort Pool
If you’re planning to spend some time lounging by the pool, pack a few swimsuits and stylish cover-ups. Luckily, the resort pool is all about relaxation and having fun. This would be the time to go basic if you’re trying to balance out the rest of your trip.
Go for the classic bikini, or mix it up with high-waisted bottoms or a one-piece swimsuit. Pair any swimsuit with your favorite pair or shorts or a flowy cover-up for a classic poolside look. A poolside look isn’t complete without your favorite sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat to protect yourself from the sun.
In Conclusion… Have Fun in Vegas!
Dress for a Vegas summer by staying cool, comfortable, and stylish. Choose lightweight fabrics and light colors, comfortable footwear, and don’t forget your accessories. Pack some poolside attire and some nighttime glamour outfits, and you’ll be ready to enjoy all that Vegas has to offer.
