Dresses, Tops, and More Women’s Clothing That Will Actually Keep You Cool This Summer
It’s not just about less clothing in the summer. It’s about making the right choices with shape and fabric.
As temperatures rise, we begin to think about how much effort we really want to put into getting dressed in the morning. That’s where breathable, lightweight clothing comes in. Mesh panels, open backs, moisture-wicking fabric, and more should be part of your everyday wardrobe to maintain a body temperature that will keep you cool in the summer heat. For the times you’re not in a bathing suit on a beach or parked in front of your AC unit, these pieces from some of our favorite brands may help give you a leg up against summer’s occasionally oppressive heat.
