Allison Stroman - In the midst of a burning heatwave, the last thing anyone wants is for their outfit to get ruined by the heat, humidity, and the inevitable sweat that comes with braving the outdoors. But, never fear. There are some simple ways to keep cool without sacrificing your personal style. The piece’s fit dictates how much air can circulate over your skin, so loose or flowy pieces are ideal to keep you cool in hot weather. When it comes to colors, lighter colors absorb less light, so they can keep you cooler than darker colors including black. In hot weather, a common instinct to keep you cool is to expose more skin. That could have a paradoxical effect as more sunlight hits your skin, making you actually warmer.
When it comes to summer fashion this year, it is important to remember that you can use what you have in your closet to create looks that fit your personal style. If you are looking for something new, like the popular white pieces and florals from recents runway trends, try shopping secondhand to decrease the environmental impact that comes from the demand for new clothes. At Repurpose Wardrobe, we offer a curated collection of pre-loved luxury pieces, perfect for your summer wardrobe. Check out our expertly styled looks to inspire your summer fashion choices.
