                     Fashions to Keep You Cool!

Summer’s coming and it’s getting hot, you want to take your clothes off! Before you do, here are some helpful tips to keep you cool while keeping your clothes on.

Don’t wear a padded bra in the heat. It will just make you sweat even more with the extra material and layers of padding. Opt to try a light bra or bralette that will keep you cool and give you the level of support you need in a breathable, comfortable material.

Don’t wear dark clothing. Stick with light-colored clothing when it’s hot outside. Darker colors absorb light/heat from the sun and lighter colors reflect light and less absorption. Wear natural fibers instead of synthetic ones. Synthetics don’t breath, and due to the high costs of cotton, designers have been using other fabrics such as poly and rayon blends. Cotton is more breathable than polyester or rayon. Read your labels carefully if you want to stay cool. Fabrics that breathe are cotton, Tencel blend, linen, and light wool. They will absorb sweat and dry faster.

Don’t wear tight clothing or jeans. Wear loose fitting clothing such as a maxi dress. The maxi dress is summers design favorite. This dress is designed to make you look, chic, sexy and comfortable. The dress comes in a variety of styles that can be tailored for almost any occasion from casual to formal and even on the beach. It's so versatile that it's a no brainer to grab it for a quick weekend getaway.

The long flowing maxi dresses look great in a burst of floral patterns, artistic geometrics, solid white cotton or black and white graphics. Mostly delicate fabrics make the best maxi outfits. You can choose from satins, chiffons, silk, georgette, and crepe to make lovely maxi gowns, Remember that most of these are very delicate fabrics which actually make the pattern look beautiful. Plain dresses are the popular pics of those searching for evening dresses or beautiful wedding gowns.

The maxi dress offers a number of stylish necklines. The thin strapped pieces with round or V necklines look the cutest. Pick the halter styled maxi outfits in plain fabric which are perfect for a formal evening occasion. Strapless dresses are amongst the hottest picks. Sleeveless patterns with wide shoulders look classy and those with off shoulders are stylish. Empire waistlines are the basic feature of these dresses.

This style dress has a unique shape which is not too tight or too loose. It is a perfect fit for almost any figure. If you're more on the petite side, you need to be really careful with these dresses to avoid being swallowed up in fabric. Avoid an empire-waist style that flows away from your body with lots of ruffles. Stick to basic, form-fitting styles that accentuate your waist and don't have too much excess volume. You can find great looking plus-size dresses as well. Maxi gowns are also a hit amongst the would-be-moms.

You can wear anything from sandals, flip flops, heels, and espadrilles with a maxi dress. If you want to go for the chicest look when wearing a maxi dress, pair your dress with wedges that will not only make you look taller and leaner but will add personality to your outfit making you look like a girl that just wants to have fun. Maxi dresses are statement-making pieces all on their own. Let the dress be the focus.

Don’t wear long sleeves unless you will be in an air condition environment. You have the right to bare arms. There is no better way to embrace warm weather than wearing a sleeveless top or dress. Having room under your arms is key to keeping cool.

When it comes to accessories, don’t wear beads or metal embellishments on your clothes. They will trap in the heat and make your clothes stick to you. Don’t carry a big or heavy tote in the heat. Instead, carry a smaller cross body bag that will make you sweat less.

Don’t wear a lot of heavy and chunky jewelry such as chains that will make you hot against your chest or bracelets that will make your wrist sweat, because your wrist area is a cooling point on your body and when you cover them up your body can’t cool.

Remember you can still look good and stay cool, even in the heat.
