The summer heat is a welcome change from the cold winter months but it brings its own set of style challenges. In general, it’s best to stick with light colors and natural fabrics like cotton or linen and styles that hit above the knee. Also, look for garments with moisture-managing features such as absorbency or wicking that quickly move sweat away from your body so it doesn’t cause you to overheat.

A lightweight, breathable cotton sundress in a soft, pretty pastel shade like baby blue will keep you looking cool and chic when the weather gets hot. Complete the look with a hat or wide-brimmed sun hat and some flat sandals for a comfortable, feminine outfit that’s perfect for a casual day out on the town.

For a smarter casual look, opt for cropped wide leg pants in a lightweight linen fabric like the Weightless Denim Beachcomber jeans and pair them with a sleeveless blouse or camisole in a matching color. Add a pair of Fila chunky white sneakers and you have a warm weather outfit that’s on trend and comfy.

A stylish straw hat will help to protect you from the sun and is a great way to add a pop of color to your look. You can tie it around your head or wear it as a shoulder sling bag.
