You can dress like a Love Island extra, in overcomplicated swimwear, aggressively short shorts, frilly tops with a dubious Lolita/milkmaid vibe, or wear practical button-down dresses and elasticated waist “trousers” that are to all intents and purposes tracksuit bottoms. You can look exhaustingly up for it, or as if you have given up entirely.
