How to Stay Stylish in the Scorching Heat fashion design Bangalore
We’re right in the midst of peak summer, and stepping out is surely an act of bravery. It’s sticky, humid and miserable out there. While summer comes with its own downsides, we cannot deny the fact that it’s also the best time to dress up, and wear some fun, colourful clothes. However, the right gear is essential if you want to have a comfortable yet enjoyable summer. To prevent excessive sweating and discomfort, it’s important to invest in clothing that is airy, comfortable and cool.
In this blog, we’re going to be discussing some points that will help you keep stylish in the scorching heat.
Must-have Summer Essentials to Stay Cool
Choose Breathable Fabrics
It’s important to choose fabrics that are lightweight, breathable and have moisture-wicking properties. Some of the best fabrics you can choose are linen, cotton, modal, chambray and other performance-blend fabrics.
Moisture-management is key in summer and these fabrics really help. When there are multiple fabrics, it’s best to choose the most lightweight ones. In summer, cotton and linen are literally the best. However, it’s important to choose lightweight cotton. Heavy cotton is a complete no-no.
Light Colours All the Way
Light shades tend to reflect heat instead of absorbing it thereby keeping you cool. Dark colours on the contrary absorb heat. As far as possible, stick to white, beige, pastels, nude colours and light neutrals. Dark colours or black are a complete no-no. Cool-toned clothing is also said to decrease emotional exhaustion. To protect yourself from the heat, it’s best to opt for light colours.
Loose Fits are Key
Oversized clothing has already been on the fashion radar for quite some time now. However, in summer, they’re literally a must-have. Go in for relaxed cuts, flowy dresses, thin shirts and wide-legged trousers. The looser the clothing, the better the airflow. It not just evaporates sweat but also keeps you cooler. Also, loose clothing is quite stylish when worn correctly. Pair an oversized shirt with some relaxed denims for a chic look.
Mixing and Matching
Mixing and matching is a fantastic way to create a stylish outfit. A statement top with high-waisted shorts looks great. You can even layer a lightweight, cotton jacket over an airy sundress. To make your outfit really stand out, you can even experiment with an array of colours and patterns. Stripes and florals are also great summer choices. In our previous blog, we’ve shared some tips on effortless summer dressing.
Sweat-Stain Camouflage
Choose clothing pieces that hide sweat stains. Despite your best efforts, if you still end up sweating, it’s best to pick pieces that hide them. Patterns and prints are great for the same. Choose clothing that does not make the sweat stain obvious. Also, it’s best to avoid silk as sweat stains show very easily.
Summer Accessories
Summer fashion isn’t just about the garments we pick but also about the accessories. They not just elevate your style but also keep sweat under control. Invest in a large sun hat, sunglasses, totes and scarves. Also, never forget to carry your sunscreen wherever you go. A spacious tote bag is an important summer accessory. It can be used to store all your essentials including a face towel, sunscreen and a water bottle to always keep you hydrated. Try to find totes that will go with all your outfits. Only then will you be able to make a fashion statement.
Wear Quick-dry Clothing
While it may not be the most fashionable, you can go in for quick-dry clothing. This is similar to what we wear when we workout. The clothing is designed in such a way that it soaks sweat without making you feel very hot. The lighter the fabric, the faster it will dry. You can also go in for clothing that is superficially advertised as quick-dry. While such clothing does not entirely eliminate humidity, it dries faster than regular clothing.
