Dress Code For Barbecue Kitty Party

Fri July 4, 2014 by Kunal Bansal

Women have a wide selection of style options that work well for a summer barbecue. For a chic but casual look, combine a pair of shorts of any color -- white, bright yellow, coral or green are great choices -- with a solid-colored t-shirt, tank top or patterned blouse. Lightweight cotton sundresses that hit around the knee are both comfortable and barbecue-appropriate. Look for sleeveless or strapless styles to keep cool. Maxi skirts and dresses come in bold patterns or solid summer hues, including turquoise and fuschia, and offer a slightly more sophisticated yet still feminine look.


Go for a relaxed, casual look when dressing for a barbecue. Choose shirts in lightweight, breathable fabrics, such as cotton or linen, that will keep you cool in the summer heat. Relaxed fit t-shirts, knit golf shirts and short-sleeved button-down shirts work well for a barbecue. Pair these shirts with comfortable bottoms such as pleated khaki shorts or cargo shorts, sticking to neutral hues such as army green or brown. Lightweight linen pants are another good choice when the temperatures aren't scorching
