What to wear for an aperitif on a boat

Have you recently received an invitation to an aperitif on a boat, and you don't know what to wear? In this article we will help you understand what the right clothing is for this occasion, combining style and comfort.

Have you recently received an invitation to an aperitif on a boat, and you don't know what to wear ? In this article we will help you understand what the right clothing is for this occasion, combining style and comfort.
First of all, as you may have already guessed, dressing in the correct way to go on a boat requires different precautions from other more usual contexts; you will certainly need to remember to protect yourself from the sun's rays by applying a cream with a very high SPF filter.
This is because the sun's rays, being reflected by the water, will have greater intensity and you will run more risks than usual of getting burned.
Furthermore, the clothing must be suitable for such a small surface, where there will clearly also be the risk of getting wet.
A first useful tip could be to bring a second spare outfit with you, just in case you accidentally get wet from some splashes while sailing.
Accessories will also have to be chosen carefully: a pair of sunglasses and a hat will certainly be suitable, as will a roomy but stylish bag that contains everything you need for this pleasant moment.
In particular, sunglasses, if chosen with a particular frame, will have a double function: that of making you look more "diva" and feminine, but also protecting you from the strong sun rays typical of boat excursions.
You can put them away safely when the sun starts to set, or use them to keep your hair back from your face.
Another very useful accessory for those invited to an aperitif on a boat is a large scarf or stole , which can protect you in case of wind or cold. Also very easy to store in your handbag.
But now let's see in detail which dress and bag to choose to be perfect for the aperitif on the boat, and to feel at ease for this summery and special occasion.

Dress: long, short or silk?
Surely the first thing you will be wondering is which dress or outfit to choose, to be both elegant and comfortable enough to enjoy your aperitif on the boat.
A fundamental piece of advice is to find a balance between elegance, simplicity and comfort: choosing a dress could be the right idea to show off a practical but at the same time feminine look.
The elasticated vest dress is perfect, perhaps worn with a shirt tied at the waist, or a kimono dress with a more exotic and refined flavour.
The important thing is to choose a garment that reflects your usual style; if you love skirts and dresses you can choose a more feminine look.
If you are used to wearing long dresses this could be a very cute and versatile option to show off for your aperitif on the boat; loose cut if you don't like the tight fit.
If, however, you like shorter lengths, you can choose a little dress, perhaps in silk, just above the knee; perfect if closed at the waist with a sash belt.
Another must have is the long skirt in light fabric, you will have a romantic flavor if you combine it with an off-the-shoulder top.
The maxi skirt, on the other hand, is sportier if worn with a tank top, or more glamorous if you want to combine it with a feminine crop top.
The shoes suitable for this special occasion could be flip-flops or flat jewel sandals, which make it easy to move around on the boat but are still very feminine.
For women who love heels, we suggest opting for comfortable wedges and avoiding stilettos or high heels: they are the right compromise, more wearable and at the same time graceful.
On a boat it is much better to opt for flat but still feminine shoes enriched with jeweled or glamorous details, given that you need to be agile in your movements.
If, on the other hand, you like to wear trousers, it is better to opt for an item that you feel comfortable with, for example Bermuda shorts or shorts worn with a cute top and a shirt over top, and with flat sandals.
Jewelry of your taste and style is a must, preferably not bulky and small in size but with an elegant allure.
As for colours, the occasion of having an aperitif on a boat in summer encourages you to wear light colors or bright shades; if you are a lover of black or neutral shades you can combine these colors with more colorful accessories.
Another item very suitable for an aperitif on a boat is the jumpsuit , which goes very well with ultra flat sandals.

Bag
Another very important accessory for women is always the bag , even during an aperitif on a boat.
We certainly advise you to intelligently mix comfort and style, you can for example take a look at the My Style Bags bags to understand which type of bag to choose.
For example, a bag that combines style and versatility for an aperitif on a boat is the bucket , available in both smaller and larger sizes.
The bucket bag is an evergreen, and will allow you to carry with you a change of clothes, suntan lotion and other objects that you may need during the crossing.
The classic cream color with smooth tan leather finishes make the My Style Bags bucket an elegant yet casual accessory.
Another bag that could be right for you is a small bag, not as bulky as the clutch bag .
The clutch is an optimal solution for women who love small bags, in this case always available in classic colors very suitable for the boat such as cream and tan, also very versatile for matching with the outfit .
If you are a lover of bamboo bags, you could choose our Bamboo Bag , which comes in various sizes (small, medium or large) and color shades.
For this particular occasion we definitely recommend the small or medium bamboo bag, more suitable for an aperitif on a boat; when choosing the color you can rely on your usual style.
For more classic women, the Bamboo Bag in the timeless straw color and tan leather finishes, with bamboo handles, is perfect.
This bag is also available with blue or light blue finishes, which recall the wonderful color of the sea.
My Style Bags also offers the possibility of showing off a bag and a bag made with fabrics that were used as boat sails; a special idea, if you want to wear a bag that is very suitable for an aperitif on a boat.
From this particular line you will find, for example, the Sea Bag Vela , a sportier bucket, or the Weekend Bag Large Vela and the Beauty Berkeley Vela, smaller and more compact in size and with a more classic allure.
