HOW TO DRESS IN SUMMER WITHOUT SUFFERING FROM THE HEAT
I know, ladies: summer is beautiful , the days are getting longer, the sun puts us in a good mood… but when the temperatures really start to rise, finding an outfit that's modest, fresh, and even cute can seem like a small feat.
If you too find yourself in front of the closet wondering "What should I wear today without suffering too much from the heat?" , you're in the right place. Here I leave you my advice - the ones I follow too - to face the summer with style and lightness, without giving up modest fashion.
CHOOSE NATURAL AND LIGHT FABRICS
The first golden rule is this: fabrics make the difference . In the summer, avoid synthetic materials that retain heat and look for garments in cotton, linen, viscose or rayon . They are breathable, light and allow the skin to breathe.
For example, I love rayon jersey dresses: they have a soft and fresh texture, they follow the shape without tightening and are perfect both day and night.
PREFER LIGHT AND NEUTRAL COLORS
Did you know that dark colors absorb heat while light colors reflect it? That's why in summer it's better to focus on shades like beige, ivory, sand, dove gray, light blue and milky white . In addition to being fresh, they immediately give a chic and bright air to the look.
If you love warm tones, light brown or caramel are also great alternatives that go with everything.
YES TO SOFT AND AIRY GARMENTS
Leave aside clothes that are too tight: in summer the secret is to choose soft, comfortable-fitting garments that allow air to circulate and don't stick to the skin.
Long dresses, full skirts, light shirts and loose trousers will be your best allies.
An extra tip? Opt for items with three-quarter or wide sleeves: they cover without making you feel hot and give a super refined touch.
ACCESSORIES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
When the heat is intense, reducing layers to a minimum is normal. But to not give up on style, focus on light accessories : a thin belt, a linen scarf in your hair, a straw bag or a simple necklace can enhance even the most basic look.
DON'T FORGET THE IMPORTANCE OF SHOES
In summer, feet suffer more than the rest of the body, so choose low sandals, espadrilles or slip-ons in natural materials. Avoid shoes that are too closed or heavy and give space to comfort.
CONCLUSION: YOU CAN DRESS MODESTLY WITHOUT SUFFERING FROM THE HEAT
In short, dressing well in summer without suffering from the heat is possible : just choose fabrics, colors and shapes carefully. Modest fashion is never synonymous with heavy or boring - on the contrary, it is a way to be elegant and light with style, even under the August sun.
