A Summer Haze

For the past three weeks, record hits have plunged the majority of the globe in a summer heat have, with temperatures hitting mid- to high 30s C or rising past 100 F degrees. Staying reasonably fashionable even in the midst of a blistering heat wave is extremely difficult. (I was touring Timisoara, Romania in 41 C weather, under direct sunlight.) While a simple tank top and lightweight shorts may not necessarily be the best option, it is possible to look cool even when it feels that the sidewalk is melting.

The first thing that is a must-know is not to wear heavy fabrics. That may seem redundant, but anything that feels heavy will cling to your skin, making the heat even more unbearable. The second thing that should be noted is to wear light colors. Pastels and neutrals are preferred in warm weather because the sun will not radiate heat as it would do with dark colors. Wear clothing that will not make you sweat due to the weight of the clothing. Also, wear something comfortable. In the hot days is not the best day to try those heels for the wedding or wear a fitted skirt that doesn't allow you to breathe.
