Summer isn’t just a season, it’s a vibe! The days are longer, the skies feel bluer, and there’s a little more space to breathe. 😎 With the sunshine comes the perfect excuse to shake up your wardrobe and focus on dressing for your own happiness.

Follow the joy, not the rules

Sure, there are trends, top colours, fabrics, styles… but let’s be honest, nothing is more fashionable than feeling good in your own skin. Whether you live in oversized T-shirts, bold prints, flowy sundresses, or bucket hats and Crocs, your summer style should reflect you - not someone else’s idea of what’s flattering or stylish. Wear the outfits that make you feel light, free, and most like yourself.

Let colour be your personal sunshine

Colour has a way of lifting our mood. Even just a pop of yellow, hot pink, or sky blue can energise your whole day. This doesn’t mean you need to go full neon (unless that’s your thing), but don’t shy away from vibrant hues. Wearing colour is like giving yourself a little sun, even on cloudy days.

You don’t have to commit to a head-to-toe palette - start small with accessories, nail polish, or a bright lipstick. An easy way to add a touch of colour is with some of Toolally’s bright acrylic earrings. Don a pair of Sienna Red or Blue Mirror danglies to instantly boost your mood and brighten your outfit. Can't decide on a colour? Wear the rainbow!

Comfort is liberating

Summer happiness has a lot to do with comfort. It’s hard to feel good when your waistband is digging in or your top won’t stop sticking to your back. So prioritise fabrics that breathe (hello, cotton and linen), silhouettes that move with you, and footwear that lets you walk further without thinking about your feet. Dress in a way that supports your joy, not restricts it.

Style is a form of self-care

It’s easy to fall into the trap of dressing for others, especially when social media constantly shows us ‘perfect’ summer looks. But the truth is, style is a personal ritual. Choosing clothes that make you feel seen, cared for, and joyful is a powerful way to show up for yourself.

So wear the dress just because you love how it twirls. Put on the ‘out there’ sunglasses. Try the outfit that makes you feel like a character in your favourite film.

You don’t need permission to wear something fun, weird, bold, or basic. You just need to like it. This summer, let happiness guide your wardrobe choices. The world is brighter when you're dressed in your own joy.

At Toolally, we’re all about dressing for happiness. Our acrylic and enamel jewellery is colourful, bright and bold, and will instantly add a spark of joy to any outfit.
