To look like a surfer, you need to feel the relaxed nature of this style. This trend is somewhat similar to hippie or boho, but is a more sporty and beachy version of it.

An integral part of the surfer’s image is the presence of a bronze or chocolate tan. A special hairstyle is also important. Here again, we should make it look like we didn’t work on it at all, leaving it to nature – the sun and sea water. And what can we say about clothes? Let’s deal with the main fashion attributes.

Image of a stylish surfer

Of course, surfing is about summer, so now we will make plans for the future. It’s great that it’s not very distant already!

For men, it is better to choose shirts made of cotton and linen. If shirts, then in natural shades (beige, khaki, gray, milk). And a size larger. The image should be relaxed. T-shirts are an exception. If the reliefs of the body are worthy of demonstration, we can tighten them.

Bottom – shorts of sandy shades or khaki. Natural colors of denser fabrics are great for the first half of the day. If you need a little insulation or the occasion requires not to bare your legs, you can use jeans or trousers-cargo. Patch pockets, scuffs, holes – it’s all good.

Shoes: open sandals (leather or fabric) or simple flip-flops (for the most informal moments). Another common option is sneakers.

Hawaiian pattern

Details and accessories are something without which the surfer image is not complete. First, T-shirts and shirts can be with prints: floral (Hawaiian), ethnic, tai-dai. Second, it’s important to find the right jewelry. Earrings in the ear, necklaces, pendants around the neck – you can have one thing, but better – all at once. Here we also rely on the hippie style and use “gifts of the sea”.

If you really want to try on something surfer now, just look for warm things according to the described signs. For example, instead of sand-colored shorts – tight trousers-cargoes in similar coloring. Hawaiian shirts with long sleeves – it’s strange, but the tai-dai hoodie is quite capable of creating the right mood. As shoes, sneakers or trekking boots will do.

The look of a stylish surfer girl

There are two hypostases in mind here. For those girls who dream of boards and waves. And for those who dream of becoming the other half of a fashionable surfer.

Sportswomen can adopt much of the above described male style. And oversize shirts, and tight tops, and pants (shorts) with pockets. Sandals, sneakers, necklaces and necklaces with shells – everything is available.

However, there is a special option here – femininity. There is nothing unexpected here either: dresses made of natural fabrics in boho style, floor-length sundresses, shabby denim, wide linen pants. Ideal accessories here will be canvas bags with embroidery and ethnic prints.

What about the hairstyle?

How to create those “surfer curls”? Let’s arm ourselves with instructions from a hairstylist.

This hairstyle has long been loved not only by the inhabitants of coastal areas, but also metropolitan cities. Its first ambassadors were really surfers. The thing is that because of the long contact with sea water their hair gets wet, then curls a little and is covered with a layer of salt. This is how you get that special texture. It seems that the curls are both sloppy and slightly structured at the same time. How can you achieve this effect if you don’t have a surf at hand and the sea outside your window?

You will need tools for curling hair: a curling iron or a flat iron. The diameter can be almost any. The purpose of curling is to give your hair the effect of natural curls. When curling, do not curl the ends. They should remain slightly straight. A flat iron will do the job better. Curl the hair in the direction “from the face”.

It is necessary to treat the hair with salt spray. After application, comb the hair with a large comb. You can fix the resulting texture with medium hold hairspray. Beach curls are ready!

It’s like the sun has done its work

Today, for hair to get the effect of burned-out strands, it is not necessary to expose them to intense radiation. There are many different coloring techniques. The most common one is bleaching thin strands near the face along the edge line. This is called contour bleaching.

You can also bleach a few strands on the whole head. The main thing is to create the effect of a light touch of sunlight. If you have dark hair, then the strands are tinted with dye. If russet – then only bleached.

Also popular are eco-friendly bleaching techniques for natural hair. It can be done with a dye or a special fluid. Hair is not subjected to active washing out of its own pigment, and change only by half a tone. Looks such coloring is as natural as possible and comes off delicately.
