Looking beautiful and stylish during the summer heat is rather challenging but we’ve gathered some really cool tricks that will help you look awesome and not feel boiling.
- Keep your clothes loose. The less fabric you have actually touching your body, the cooler you will be.
- Skip the padded bra in favor of a soft, unlined bralette. Hide your bra straps using special things because they can spoil your look.
- Mind your fabrics. To stay cool on steamy days, it’s best seek out materials like cotton, linen, silk, or super-thin denim because they are breathable and cooling.
- Avoid embellishments — particularly heavy embellishments like beading or anything made of metal. Embellishments weigh your clothes down so they are closer to your skin, trapping body heat.
- Wear a wide-brimmed hat or lightweight scarf to cover the shoulders or your head when you feel it’s too much sun. Besides, an oversized hat is in trend, so try it!
- Choose unlined clothes. Not only is a lining one more layer between your skin and the air, it’s often synthetic, which mean it won’t breathe well and will leave you feeling like you are walking around inside your own private sauna.
- Pick a small crossbody or tote because a backpack or a huge tote can make you feel hotter, and mini purses are a huge trend right now.
- Stick to light colors. Dark colors absorb light and make you that much hotter while light colors reflect light and help keep you cool. Besides, white clothes is always in trend and you’ll look polished in it.
- Wear as little jewelry as possible. Earrings are fine because they don’t really touch much of your skin, but necklaces, bracelets, and rings can often be more trouble than they’re worth once temperatures start to rise.
- Invest in a couple of good dresses because they are easy to style and can fit any occasion. Find a good beach dress, work dress and just a dress for summer, they should be comfortable and of natural fabrics.
- Have fun with sunglasses. Cool aviators or oversized sunglasses will be in style all year round but summer is the best time to try something new and crazy, various bold frames and cool shapes, so go ahead!
- Opt for bold prints and colors that scream summer, don’t be afraid to look bold.
- Try sheer garments, they are delicate, romantic and utterly beautiful.
