Style Tip: Dressing for Summer
|
|
Looking and feeling cool during the summer can be a challenge. Here are a few ideas to get your warm weather wardrobe in order.
Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics like linen, silk and cotton. Breathable fabrics wick the sweat away from the body while synthetic fabrics constrict air flow keeping you hot. Many lines use the perfect blend of natural and synthetic fabrics to keep you cool without the wrinkling of pure linen or cotton. Look for viscose, bamboo, and rayon blends.

Dress in light colours, especially on top because they reflect the heat away. A summer wardrobe of soft grey, tan, white and taupe will serve you well. Pairing white with navy creates a fresh, crisp summer look perfect for travel or dressing up.
Reach for dresses and skirts to stay cool. Careful with light-coloured unlined dresses though; they can become transparent in the sun, so be sure to add a slip underneath. Be sure to get rid of the pantyhose; they are no longer necessary. If you want more coverage, wear a maxi or midi dress or skirt and reach for self-tanner or a mineral tinted moisturizer for a healthy tan on your legs.
If you are planning to spend time in air conditioning like on a cruise or at the office, make sure you have lightweight layers ready. Simple cardigans, shrugs or unlined blazers are practical to have in your bag or at your desk and can turn any outfit into a polished look.
If you are concerned about sweat marks, go for patterned clothing which camouflages sweat much better than solid colours. Loose fitting and drapey tops are great options too.
Lastly, keep your feet cool with sandals or perforated flats or heels.
Follow these clothing tips to beat the heat this summer and remember to shop with a purpose! Go for items you can mix-and-match into your existing wardrobe for fun new outfits.
