The weather is just right for a boat party in many regions. You can take in the sunshine and still feel a cool breeze while you relax on the boat. While getting the boat prepared for your celebration is an important part of ensuring your event is a success, you'll also want to look your best. You'll also want to take some safety measures to keep everyone safe at your soiree. Here are some fashion tips to keep in mind for your fun and safe boat party.

Light, Neutral Colors

Neutral colors and pastels are great for a boat party. These colors promote relaxation and loose-fitting pants, shirts, and dresses in these hues will make relaxing on a boat even more relaxing. Choose from clothing pieces like tunic-style shirts, loose-fitting drawstring pants, and even oversized blazers to customize your boat party outfit. You can even wear jumpers in these shades for an easy all-in-one outfit that flatters your figure while hiding any imperfections. If you have warm undertones, choose from shades of beige, pink, purple, and coral for your boat party outfit. If you have cool undertones, pastel variations of blue, green, and gray will make your skin glow. Whether your boat party is fun and casual or more formal, these colors will help you get yacht-ready.

Stylish Masks

To ensure your boat party is safe, you may require that everyone wear masks. You can make the masks into a fashion statement by ordering masks in the color scheme of the celebration. For instance, if you've chosen navy blue, white, and gold for the boat party, choose masks in these hues or order a customized design that features these colors in stripes or polka dots. Monogrammed masks also add a nice touch to the party and can serve as party favors for guests to take with them after the get-together. Adding visually appealing accents like pearls or sequins makes the masks especially elegant and may motivate your guests to continue wearing them throughout the event. You can also choose a nautical theme for the masks and include an anchor or small picture of a sailboat to make the masks one of a kind.

The Oxford

Oxford shirts are a fashionable option for men and women when attending or hosting a boat party. This crisp shirt looks great with jeans, shorts, or wide-legged pants and you can also use it as a cover-up for a swimsuit. An oversized Oxford with a belt to cinch the waist is a trendy way to wear this shirt as well. Since traditional Oxfords are white, they match with any other color, and you can roll up the sleeves to stay both stylish and cool during your summer party.

Bermuda Shorts

Bermuda shorts are not too short and not too long, which makes them perfect for spending the day on the yacht. Bermuda shorts are easy to move in and come in a variety of colors and patterns. Whether you're relaxing in your seat enjoying a cocktail with friends, steering the boat, or doing maintenance checks on your boat, you can do it comfortably in Bermuda shorts. Since the shorts are not too restricting, it will be easy to feel the cool breeze on your legs as you sail. This is a stylish choice for men and women.

Accessories

Your boat party outfit is not complete without some sophisticated summer accessories. Wide-brim beach hats are appropriate for the occasion and you can find these hats in neutral shades of brown that go with any outfit. You'll also need a pair of chic sunglasses with large lenses that will both accentuate your face shape and help shield your skin from the sun. Sunglasses that have a cat-eye shape are ideal for oval and oblong faces, while square sunglasses are fashionable for rounder face shapes.

Safe and Epic

Before heading out on the water make sure to go through any maintenance and safety checks. Check to make sure that the engine runs smoothly by cleaning it, reviewing all fluid levels., checking and changing the oil, and fuel filters. Maintenance checks should be done every 3 months but make sure to go through one again right before an event. Also, check for rusting parts and corrosion. Rust and corrosion can lead to serious problems such as leaks. In your maintenance check use corrosion inhibitors and lubricants, check the anodes, and filters such as mercury outboard fuel filters. Go through regular maintenance to ensure safe and epic boat fun.

These are a few ideas that will help you look your best as you host your boat party. This will likely be one of the first get-togethers you've had in a while, so making sure everyone is both stylish and safe is a priority. When you look great, you'll feel even better, which will make your gathering one that your friends and family will remember fondly for years to come.
