Virtual Styling #223: Summer Vibes

Barbara & Karen, in the throws of a scorching heat wave, bring on the summer vibes in Virtual Styling #223. Dressing for hot weather requires a thoughtful approach to fabric choice, clothing style, and color. The key is selecting breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, and chambray, which allow air to circulate and wick moisture away from the body.

The style and fit of your clothing is also a key ingredient to staying cool. Loose-fitting garments, such as flowy dresses, wide-leg pants, and oversized tops, allow air to flow freely around the body, enhancing breathability. Additionally, opting for sleeveless tops, shorts, and skirts can help keep your body temperature down by exposing more skin to the air.

Color choice is another crucial factor in dressing for hot weather. Light-colored clothing, such as white, pastels, and soft neutrals, reflect sunlight rather than absorb it, helping to keep your body cooler. Plus, we can probably be a bit more adventurous with color when we have that gorgeous sun-kissed skin.
