As you can see in the picture above in the outfit I included a loose but covering shirt, a jean under the knee skirt, and sandals. I live in Florida and so this is kind of how I dress if I am staying outside a lot. I love wearing jean skirts because they have shape and you don't have to worry about the wind blowing them up. In this outfit I show wearing your hair up for half-way up really helps with the heat. If you like wearing long skirts then fluffy or t-shirt material maxi skirts are good choices. T-shirts are nice to wear also but it depends on the color (darker is hotter) and the thickness of the shirt. Airy but covering is what you should go for.
Before I go into details I should show you what grandma does and doesn't look like. First one is grandma-ish and the other one isn't. The reason the first one is grandma-ish is for a few reasons 1. It's baggy. The shirt is ok to itself but not with the skirt because they are both baggy In my opinion you need a combination. like a maxi skirt with a sort of bulky jacket, like a jean jacket. 2. The Print overly dramatic prints such as small floral prints give you a more grandma-ish look. below are some examples, just note as pretty as some of these fabrics are they just don't belong on clothes. Here are some reasons the second one isn't grandma-ish 1. Fits nicely not too tight but not baggy or frumpy. The cut of the clothes is very important. 2. Simple Patterns, Bright Colors, Not that bright colors are necessary but I think it's better with atleast one. It's good that the color is bold not patterned, but colors in patterns can be good if it matches the shirt. Usually simpler is better. Here are some examples of good fabrics This is all my opinion, and if don't agree then don't! Wear what makes you happy!
I myself actually only wear shirts to the elbow and longer to church but these are just some ideas for you. Spring is my favorite season when it comes to fashion because I just love spring colors! Plus you get to mix cold weather clothes and warm. At the end are the 3 springy skirts I got from Cato! Pictures are from online, if any of these pictures are you I'm sorry just comment if you want it removed.
