Its harder than you think to choose clothes that are both fashionable and comfortable for hot intense sun but not fear not! Today we are highlighting elements you need to look for when shopping for summer fashion that will help you cope with the heat.
Light Colours
Stay away from dark colours!!! Dark shades like Navy blue and black absorb the light which results in you getting hotter so light colours are your best bet in any heatwave. Light tones not only looks great in summer but will keep you so much cooler in the hot weather and happier as wearing lighter colours have been said to improve you moods. WIN WIN.
Lightweight Material
It goes without saying the lighter the item of clothing the cooler you will be. Its incredibly uncomfortable wearing something thick and heavy on a hot day. So if it feels lightweight and usually if the item is transparent, that’s normally a good sign for a good cool piece. The type of material also can affect this. For example cotton and linen are more breathable than other materials like polyester and denim.
Loose Fit
Loose and flowy clothes can feel like a dream when you are all hot and bothered. This is because loose clothing enables air flow and that pleasant breeze to pas through, ventilating the hot air out. Another positive is that loose clothing doesn’t restrict blood circulation opposed to tight skinny things to. Plus oversized clothing is so in especially teamed with accessories!

Unlined
A key factor to take into consideration when buying jackets in hot weather is if they have interior lining. The reason for this is lining provided another layer which will make you hotter and you want to be wearing little as possible! Furthermore, if the jackets unlined its lighter keeping you cooler and its easy to take around with you.
Sleeveless
Ditch the sleeves. If its hot you are going to sweat and wearing sleeves means its very likely for those embarrassing sweat patches to appear. However its so easy to eliminate this by swapping them for sleeveless, strappy, cami’s or tanks. All these tops reduce the chances of obvious sweat patches thanks to the increased exposure to your skin allowing you to feel the cool breeze.
