Styling tips for hot days

For a summer with style instead of sweaty stains, the fabrics, colours and cuts must be right. This is how you turn your clothes into an air conditioner.

Imagine a summer in Italy. Grandezza instead of tacky tank tops. Good style and high temperatures aren’t mutually exclusive. The best proof are Italians, who are among the best-dressed people. You, too, can be among the best-dressed and still not sweat. It works even without a cooling gelato.

The accessories

It’s easy to make mistakes with accessories. For jewellery, I advise you to go with gold or silver. Fashion jewellery can discolour due to sweat. This is often the case with necklaces and rings. Leave belts out of your fashion inspiration. The breeziest dress won’t do you any good if you strap a belt around your waist or hips, because heat builds up underneath.

This summer, baseball caps are in. Less sporty, but no less pretty are floppy or straw hats with a wide brim.

If high temperatures not only make you sweat, but also your make-up, my colleague Natalie Hemengül has the perfect make-up tips for you:
