Ever wanted to get that surfer look? Surfer wannabes should be conscious about their appearance, starting with the right surfer hairstyle and finishing with the right footwear. The best haircut for a stereotypical surfer will require you to let your hair grow long. If you do grow your hair long and actually surf, consider tying it back during your surf session. If you have curly hair, you may require some kind of gel or product to straighten it a little, and give it that "fresh from the beach" appearance.

In general, dress for the surfer is very comfortable and essential for the beach lifestyle . Reef sandals, or canvas shoes are a sensible choice for surfers footwear. The intention is that you should be comfortable, and look great, whether at the beach or the local mall. Board shorts are an important item, no surfer look is complete without a pair. Consider one of the many surf brand t shirts or polo shirts available. You may want to consider going shirtless or wear a singlet while at the beach. This will serve to highlight your buff surfer body and show off your bronzed beach tan.

Sun glasses are an accessory present in every surfers wardrobe. Sunglasses will shield your eyes from harmful Ultra violet rays, while looking great. The sun rays are dangerous, so keep this in mind when heading for the beach. Therefore, it is crucial that you take preventive measures to protect yourself, by either using sunscreen or total sunblock, to protect yourself and avoid possible future problems. Fake tan is a great option for getting that healthy, tanned look while avoiding harmful UV exposure . A further option is to wear a long sleeve rash guard and hat.

For that surfer girl look, it might be desirable to wear a bikini. Consider gauzy skirts, sandals and sarongs. Women's board shorts are also a great option. When surfing, avoid heavy make-up. A little waterproof mascara can work really well. The female surf clothing industry is booming at the moment, there are so many great looking bikinis, shorts and cute girlie tops to choose from, and so many great looks to put together.

Using online surf shops is now a great way to put together the perfect surfer look for summer. Surf shops not only have all the surf clothing, but all the equipment that a real surfer needs to hit the waves. You can get all the gadgets, accessories and surf jewelry to completely accessorize and personalize your look. Check out your local or online surf shop, and consider buying a copy of the latest surfing magazine to see what's hot at the moment. Remember, to look hot, it's important that you put your own personal stamp on your outfit, and that it reflects your personality. Keep a look out for the current hot brands: Billabong, Quiksilver, Rusty, Rip Curl, Element, O'Neill and Roxy
