Sometimes, the weather outside can be so hot as if you could melt in the hot sun. Dressing in hot weather can be challenging, especially if you don't want to sweat profusely but still look fashionable and attractive. You can customize your outfit for summer by choosing fabrics and materials that keep you cool while still looking trendy.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Choosing Cool Fabrics and Materials
Step 1. Choose cotton, linen, or jersey fabrics
Wear clothes made of breathable (air flow smoothly) because it does not restrict the body and cause sweat due to heat. It's also great for keeping you cool and looking presentable, even on hot days.
- You can choose dresses, tops, and skirts made of cotton or linen. You can also wear a jersey dress with a simple cut to wear on a hot day.
- Cotton or linen shorts are also great for keeping cool on hot days. You can choose T-shirts and collared shirts in linen or jersey.
Step 2. Try not to wear clothes made of polyester, nylon, or silk
Although they look good, these materials are not breathable. This fabric causes sweat and keeps body odor at bay, making hot weather even more uncomfortable.
- It's best to stay away from rayon or wool clothing as they are not breathable and can cause you to sweat more than you should in hot weather.
- Silk is also water-resistant so the fabric will look rippled when worn on hot and sweaty days. However, if you have to look presentable for an event, it's a good idea to choose silk over other restraining fabrics like polyester or nylon.
Step 3. Choose a brightly colored fabric
When choosing clothes for a hot day, it's best to choose brightly colored fabrics. Pastel or bright colors at the end of the spectrum like white, cream, and gray are good choices because they don't absorb as much sunlight as dark colors.
Stay away from dark or jewel-colored clothing, such as emeralds, purples, or blues. You should also stay away from black clothes as they will absorb light and feel hotter in hot weather
Step 4. Consider wearing sportswear
If you're often outdoors when it's hot, try comfortable, breathable workout clothes. Many sportswear is made of materials that absorb sweat and keep cool when sweating. In addition, these clothes are usually designed in such a way that the wearer feels comfortable and easy to move.
If you work in an office or a place with strict professional rules, you may not be able to wear tracksuits. However, if you're running errands all day, or doing casual activities, try wearing a tracksuit. As the popularity of the "athletic" look of sportswear has grown, you can wear it and still look fashionable
Part 2 of 3: Choosing Cool Styles and Cuts
Step 1. Choose loose cuts and styles
Stay away from tight clothing and clothing that restricts movement on hot days. As a general rule, loose clothing is cooler in hot weather. These clothes help create a layer of air between the skin and clothing.
Look for clothes that have an A-line cut, and are loose on the sleeves, chest, and waist. Choose a cropped top so that it doesn't constrict the stomach or torso. Wear skirts and shorts that are loose enough around the waist and legs
Step 2. Choose shorts or skirts instead of trousers
Wear bottoms that don't cover your feet, especially if you want to feel cool on a hot day. Look for skirts or shorts that are breathable and in a cut that doesn't constrict your legs.
We recommend that you don't wear trousers unless forced to adhere to a professional or formal dress code. If you have to wear trousers, choose cotton or linen with loose cuts. You can also wear trousers that are rolled up to the hem so they don't restrict your legs
Step 3. Wear short-sleeved or sleeveless tops
You should also look for tops that have short sleeves or no sleeves. If you tend to have a sweat line, it's a good idea to wear a sleeveless top so you don't see it. Make sure your top is made of breathable material like cotton or linen so you can stay cool while showing off your arm muscles.
Men may not be able to wear sleeveless shirts in the office. It's a good idea to wear a button-down shirt made of breathable material such as chambray, which is a lighter substitute for demin
Step 4. Try not to wear layers of clothing
If you want to dress modestly while keeping cool, it can be tempting to layer your clothes and take them off when you feel hot. However, adding layers of clothing will only add to your business while going about your daily life and will not keep you cool. It's better to wear clothes that don't need layers. That way, you don't have to bother removing layers of clothing all day long
- A great hot weather outfit is a maxi dress, which allows you to cover your legs without removing the layers of clothing. Maxi dresses are also great for formal occasions when paired with heeled sandals or dresses as they will keep the feet covered while still looking in tune with the seasons and keeping cool.
- You can also wear a long-sleeved shirt with short pants to still look modest and feel cool. Otherwise, pair a cotton cardigan with a long cotton shirt.
Part 3 of 3: Choosing Summer Accessories
Step 1. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun
Summer accessories can also be worn to look fashionable while beating the heat. Look for sunglasses with UV protection and sun glare. Choose one with a bright frame, such as peach, bright blue, or pink. This accessory will match your look according to the season.
Step 2. Put on a hat with a tongue
Tongue hats are great for keeping cool in hot weather because they protect your face from the sun and keep you cool. Look for cotton or knitted hats. Wear a wide-toned, round-the-head hat, sun hat, or baseball cap to stay cool in the summer.
Step 3. Choose shoes that are comfortable and breathable
Many people have swollen and sweaty feet during hot weather. You can overcome this by wearing comfortable, non-restrictive shoes. Look for shoes with comfortable soles and made of breathable materials such as canvas or cotton. Stay away from shoes made of leather, rubber, or other man-made materials.
- You should also wear shoes that fit on your feet so you don't get irritated. Usually the feet swell due to heat so choose open-toed footwear such as sandals to provide breathing room.
- If you wear closed footwear, you should wear socks so they don't rub and/or rub your feet.
Step 4. Try not to forget to apply sunscreen on the skin
Perhaps, one of the important accessories in hot weather is sunscreen. You should apply sunscreen to the skin that will be exposed to the sun before going out. Sunscreen will protect you from harmful UV rays and prevent the risk of skin cancer or other skin diseases.
