Just as much we love fast fashion, a great deal of merchandise from high-street stores are made from poly-blends that simply aren’t breathable, and will often hold on to sweat stains. Eww!
To stay cool on steamy days, it’s best seek out materials like cotton but any variety will do—as the fibers are hollow in the center, allowing them to absorb perspiration and release it quickly.
Linen also is a solid summer material—it’s stronger than cotton and a better conductor of heat, making it the most breathable fabric out there. Contrary to popular belief, silk is a good choice for summer as well, since it’s natural, breathable, and cooling and pretty light!
Time to DIY!
Summers are a great time to DIY those old boring shaggy clothes and give them a major makeover!
1. A few examples: A floor-grazing skirt or dress can be made into a cute mini, pants can be turned into into shorts, and long blazers into cute cropped jackets to wear over summer dresses.
2. Bring an old T-shirt and tank top you don’t wear anymore to your tailor and have he or she hem it to show a sliver of skin. Then pair it with super high-waist pants, skirts or shorts. The result: an easy-breezy crop that’s not too tight, too trendy, or too revealing—and can be worn comfortably all summer!
A few tips this summer :
1. Always wear light and pastel shades
2. Avoid black because well, you DON’T want to sweat!
3. Choose from a lot of floral and Aztec prints as they are fashionable.
4. Try Boho-Chic combo this season.
5. Accessorize, cause that will spark up those pastels
6. Go for cute headbands and try different types of hairstyles.
