How to dress comfortably and stylishly in hot weather: 5 fashion tips for August


Staple trousers

This wardrobe item will save you in the hottest weather both in the city and in the office. The staple gives a feeling of coolness, allows air to pass through and absorbs moisture, it is soft and pleasant to the touch. Manufacturers offer many colors of these trousers, so they are quite easy to combine. A win-win trio would be a combination with a white top and T-strap shoes or sandals.

How to care: This fabric is 50/50 cotton and synthetic fibers.
It is quite thin, so it is recommended to wash trousers at a temperature of 40 degrees at low speeds and using liquid powder. It is worth remembering that the material shrinks by 5%, so you can safely buy trousers a size larger. It is better to iron them from the inside out (to avoid getting shiny stripes) and through gauze.

How to dress in the heat if you spend the whole summer in the city

It’s like you’re dressing for the weather: a tank top, a short skirt or shorts, but you still feel like you’re wrapped in plastic. What's the matter? The point is that you don't have to take your clothes off. We need to get dressed. A classic example is the Bedouins in the desert. We, of course, are not Bedouins; we don’t need such layers. But the direction is right. What is the secret to choosing clothes in the heat?

Textile

Choose something in which your body will breathe and not sweat too much. A definite yes: cotton and linen. In clothes made from natural breathable fabrics, firstly, you will not be hot, and secondly, you will look stylish, because this is a pleasant summer trend. This also includes viscose. One minus: the fabrics wrinkle a lot, so we sit down carefully, straightening our skirts and trousers.

There is fabric... Although, not even fabric, but rather a weaving method - twill. It can be made from the same linen and cotton or from any synthetic threads, but diagonal weaving works for you: twill is the best at heat transfer and prevents you from overheating in hot weather and from freezing in cold weather. Workwear and, for some reason, curtains are often made this way, but ordinary clothes can sometimes also be found.

Hot weather can play a cruel joke and ruin even the most sophisticated look if you choose silk for your outfit. Yes, it flows very pleasantly on the skin and seems to be the best summer material - light, shiny, durable... And absorbs moisture very well. Therefore, traces of sweat may remain on a silk top or dress, and the fabric will also absorb the smell well.

What should never be part of your everyday outfit is synthetics. Artificial fabrics do not breathe well and literally create a greenhouse effect right on your body.

Cut

Free! And only so. Leave the shorts and tight T-shirts to the two thousand. Shorts and culottes, palazzos, gauchos - the wider the better. Don’t forget about natural fabric: cotton-linen flared trousers will be more comfortable than denim shorts.

If it’s a skirt, it’s not a mini skirt, but a floor-length one – it will be well ventilated. The same goes for dresses. Among them, a lifeline in the heat is a shirt dress. With skirts and dresses, you don’t have to be tied to natural fabrics, the main thing is that they are flowy and light.

The same story with the outerwear: blouses, T-shirts, tops. The sleeves should not stick to the arms, but should be present on their own, even if short, otherwise the shoulders will burn. A little trick: choose things that are easy to remove - buttons, full-length zippers, smell. These elements will make it much easier to undress your sweaty body (sorry).

Color

Here, too, everything is extremely simple: dark colors attract heat, unlike light colors, so we choose something light and go to dazzle everyone with our outfit. Yes, it is for these reasons that all summer collections are entirely white and beige.

Lingerie, accessories, shoes

Have you put on a beautiful mint linen dress, but the heat still bothers you? So something still went wrong. Most likely, a push-up bra or synthetic panties is to blame. When it’s hot, the underwear should also be made from natural materials and the softest.

Accessories are a sensitive issue. First, of course, you need a hat. There is only one requirement here - it should also be light, otherwise it will bake even more. But models have no advantages over each other; you only need to focus on fashion trends. Sunglasses don't really help protect you from the heat, but they can easily protect your eyes from exposure to the sun, so don't neglect them.

Secondly, massive jewelry also “roasts” you. No leather bracelets, wide belts, or purses in pockets (leather, in the sense). The maximum is thin chains, threads and a grandmother’s purse made of fabric.

Shoes, of course, are open - hello sandals, sandals, mules, modern clogs. If you urgently need sneakers, choose lightweight and breathable summer models. Yes, you should have several pairs of sneakers for different seasons, what did you think? And choose natural socks to go with them - cotton ones are more common, but there is also hemp fabric, which is also natural and even fashionable.
