It’s summertime! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and there’s a chill in the air. This means that it is time to pack up your wool sweaters and put on your sundresses. Add some sandals or flip-flops for good measure.
Summer fashion can be tough to navigate, but with these tips, you’ll be cool as a cucumber (literally) all summer long!
First things first: don’t forget about sunscreen! We’ve said this before and we will say it again–sunscreen prevents wrinkles when used regularly from an early age. Put on SPF 30 at least thirty minutes before heading out into the sunshine so that you won’t have any white streaks or greasy residue.
Next, make sure you have a hat! Hats are especially important if your hair is blonde or has any kind of highlight throughout it because the sun can bleach out those colors in just one day.
Makeup needs to be packed too–you need some good SPF protection for your skin and foundation will help keep you from getting burned on top of that. Plus, sunglasses are crucial to protect those eyes from UV rays so they don’t get sore or dry at the end of the summer season (and stay looking young).
You’ll also want to pack clothing with UPF 50+ before heading into direct sunlight for an extended period of time as this helps minimize wear-and-tear on delicate fabrics such as silk, wool, and rayon.
Some good summer clothing choices are lightweight cotton dresses, linen skirts, and tops, sundresses with a short sleeve or tank top underneath for protection from the sun’s heat, denim shorts with SPF-protecting clothes on top (a button-up shirt or light cardigan) – these will help you stay cool while looking cute!
If you want to wear heels this season but don’t want to have your feet get blistered in sandals all day long then go ahead and pack some flats that can double as shoes when necessary.
You’ll also need an oversized hat and sunglasses–or at least a big floppy hat so it helps shade your face too!–to keep yourself comfortable during those warm months. And finally, if your hair can’t handle the humidity, get yourself a good hairspray to keep it in place!
It is hot outside and if your hair starts to frizz up on humid days, be sure that you are using good hairspray! You can find a wide range of brands at any drugstore or department store but use this as an opportunity to try out some new affordable products.
Shop for clothes off-season when they’re cheaper which will allow you more options without breaking the bank account. Take advantage of discount stores like Marshalls and TJ Maxx where brand new designer items often go overstock from other retailers.
Diane von Furstenberg has these last words of advice: “find something special every day.” Whatever makes you feel confident.
Wear light colored clothes and wear a scarf to avoid getting too hot and taking on an extra layer of clothing.
This is not the time for your heavy denim, but light linen trousers are perfect! Keep it cool with skirts or dresses that don’t touch the ground so they’ll be less likely to drag in the dirt as you walk.
Opt for sleeveless tops and dresses, and keep your shoulders covered.
It’s a good idea to bring an umbrella or some other type of shade with you when you head out in the sun.
No need for black socks this summer! Try bright-colored tights instead; they look great on their own or under shorts skirts.
Investing in swimwear now will save money come July because it’ll be less expensive at that time of year than during peak season. And don’t forget sunscreen every day before going outside if today is cloudy–it doesn’t matter what time of year it is!
Summer days are hot and we all want to stay cool, but sometimes people can get too cold as well so wearing light clothes like linen trousers and sleeveless tops can be a good way to stay cool in the summer.
It’s important that you wear lots of light colors, especially white and pastels, during this time of year because they reflect heat by keeping cooler air around your skin longer than dark clothes will. * Also try dressing in layers for when it gets warmer; wearing an undershirt or tank top under other clothing is perfect on those days where it starts off hot but then ends up being chilly later.
You’ll also want to make sure to cover up with long sleeves at night if it stays warm outside so as not to let any bugs bite you while you sleep!
It can get really humid here sometimes so remember these tips: drink lots of water.
