Beat that Southern Heat


Warm weather and sunshine are two of my favorite things! Even so, dressing for the heat can be tricky. The warmer it gets down South, the more the humidity increases, makes you re-think your wardrobe options. Many places it is too hot to throw on the standard jeans and a t-shirt. Here are some tips I use when I pick out clothes to stay cool and try not to get too sweaty during the summer months.

Wear shorts or Capri pants instead of long pants.
It seems like a no-brainer, less fabric equals less heat, but sometimes its hard to remember until after you’ve already left the house

Wear summer dresses.

Sundresses are my favorite things to wear in the summer. I think they are cooler than anything else because there is no waste-band.Choose light fabrics and loose fits.

In tops choose shirts made of light fabrics like cotton to fight the heat. Looser fitting clothes will also help you stay cool.

When its really hot, wear a tank top.
Tank tops are great because they don’t shoe sweat stains as much as regular shirts. Although when it’s hot it is normal to sweat and it is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Wear a sun hat and sunglasses.
These will also protect you from the sun and make you feel cool while you look cool.
