Looking stylish in the heat is not easy. Especially if you need to go to an event and you do not want to show up in shorts and a t-shirt. There are many family get-togethers throughtout the summer holiday and it is a challenge to feel put together and stay chic when it is so hot outside.
Even if it is 35 degrees Celsius, I try to mantain my personal style, be chic but effortless and not overdressed. You will never see me in girly, frilly florals from top to toe :-)
To find the outfit that’s both heat-wave-proof and family-occasion appropiate I start with a basic cotton skirt and I add some interest with a crisp white top. The skirt is simple and lets the top do the talking. The off-the-shoulder works well and makes a chic combination with the classic skirt. A pair of lace-up espadrille wedges in natural fabrics both look and feel good. In summertime, I go for breathable fabrics like thin cotton or linen.
I keep the two colour rule through the whole outfit, the blue-white tones are classic and timeless. It is cool, but you feel like kind of sophisticated at the same time.
Finally, popping on a pair of sunglasses will finish the look.
