Cool Looks to Beat the Heat

Heat waves, high humidity, long days of hot sunshine—we’re officially in the dog days of summer. Check out Fashion Fabrics Club’s roundup of chic looks that will help you keep your cool in even the hottest temps.

Silk slip dress

A silk slip dress is the perfect pick for days when you have to look posh but the temps are so hot you can barely handle putting anything on. For more casual outings, pair with a simple pair of flats and sun hat. For more formal occasions, pair with heels and statement jewelry.

Crochet shorts

When it’s super hot, the thought of having something tight around the waist seems unbearable. That’s where these incredibly comfy lace crochet shorts come in. With an elastic waist band and a soft jersey lining, they feel just like a pair of PJ shorts, but thanks to the lace crochet overlay are totally going-out worthy.

Linen Pants

After days of exposure to the hot sun rays, sometimes your skin needs a little bit of a break. A cool way to keep your stems from baking is with a cute pair of white linen pants—super breathable and lightweight, you can barely even tell that you’re wearing them. Added bonus: they’re great for travel too, taking up virtually no space in the suitcase and looking chic even when wrinkled.

Jersey T-Shirt Dress

There’s a reason why so many style mavens live in oversized cotton jersey T-shirts in the summer—they have a way of disguising perspiration stains, are incredibly breathable, and they’re soft and lightweight. Take that to the next level by simply elongating the hemline to make a cute cotton jersey T-shirt dress, eliminating the need to add bottoms, a major win in keeping you cool.
