Saint-Tropez has been a famous jet-setters’ spot since the late 1950s. Names such as Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin were typical holidaymakers of the glorious black and white summer shots – and some were even residents. Nowadays, you’re more likely to spot celebrities such as Kate Moss, Elton John, Beyonce or even Leonardo DiCaprio in Saint-Tropez.
There’s only one problem: Traveling to and staying in Saint-Tropez is hugely expensive. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up on your jet-setter’s dreams just now. On the contrary, you’ll find that Florida presents a cost-effective alternative with just as much sun, sand, and glamor! So why not transform your summer vacation into a jet-setting adventure in Florida?
No jet-set feeling like on a boat
Who says Saint-Tropez, says yachts, sexy bikinis, and sunbathing. Thankfully, this glamorous experience is not reserved for Saint-Tropez area only. You can research boat rental Miami options while you’re in Florida. It’s only a short trip to The Keys, and you’ll love the feeling of the warm sun while watching the sea life in one of the most beautiful places in the US. Sure, it might not be Leo and his yacht in Saint-Tropez bay, but it’s coming pretty close to the same level of glam jet-setting fun!
It’s all about showing skin with style
The summer fashion can be tricky for many holidaymakers. Of course, one is tempted by short shorts, bikini tops and mini dresses in those hot temperatures. However, if you want to keep a polished jet-setter’s image, you might want to pick your summer wardrobe carefully. Opt for floaty cotton dresses and backless clothes to stay cool in the sun. As for best summer colors, stick to a more traditional palette, from pale pastels to white and cream shades.
Pack XXL sun protection
The only inconvenient about sunbathing is that you need to keep your skin protected at all time. Thankfully, you’ll find plenty of sunscreen lotions that give you a warm glow without affecting your appearance. Similarly, you can also grab the jet-setter’s essentials; namely a pair of sunglasses and a summer hat. Stay away from the minimalist sunglasses fashion. True jet-setters prefer their sunglasses big and bold. As for your hat, nothing beats the dramatic effect of a large straw hat on your way to the beach. Besides, they are the ideal accessories for a casual walk in town or an early drink by the bay.
Know your cocktails
Food and drinks enhance your sense of a luxury lifestyle, especially during the holiday where you can indulge – a little! Summer flavors are often fresh, spicy and fruity in Florida, but you can complement a light meal with a cocktail fit for a jet-setter. Indeed, the drink you choose can affect how others perceive you, and how you think of yourself too. So, if you’re a red wine or a gin girl, make a change for the summer and try something a little more sophisticated. A champagne cocktail is the perfect conclusion of a sunny day, for instance.
Forget Saint-Tropez this summer and create your own jet-setting scene in Florida. With a little bit of know-how and prep, you can feel like a diva on a yacht!
