5 Hot Weather Style Essentials

Escaping to sun-soaked climes or basking in the heatwave at home? However you’re spending the long, hazy days of summer, there’s an easy way to ensure that they don’t leave you hot and bothered – and it all starts with the right wardrobe. From wind-blown sun dresses to lightweight linen staples, here are five warm-weather style essentials that you need to navigate those rising temperatures.  

 

1. The Sun Dress

Whether taking on the city streets or strolling barefoot on a beach, a sun dress is the ultimate hot-weather essential. Throw on a pure cotton piece that’ll help you keep your cool as the midday heat takes hold, letting its delicate prints pull focus with simple accessories.

 

2. The Lightweight Top

Long sleeves might be the last thing on your mind as the weather warms up but rest assured that this season’s boho blouses are as breathable as they are stylish. Case in point? This breezy cotton number, designed with loose, blouson sleeves and a floaty fit – we like it best with denim cut-offs.  

 

3. The Floaty Culottes

A practical alternative to sweeping midis and maxis, culottes have become one of our favourite style staples for the warmer months of the year. Perfect for both long-haul flights and exploring foreign ground, this printed pair promises to keep you cool and comfortable in the heat. Style with a crisp linen blouse and shimmering accessories.  

 

4. The Linen Dress

Renowned for its breathability in hot, humid temperatures, linen is the favourite fabrication of summer – and especially when combined with the season’s signature silhouettes. The proof lies in this crisp white midi dress, printed with stripes and finished with a ruffled Bardot neckline to show off your shoulders.

 

5. The Easy Cami

Cami tops have moved beyond the basics, with billowy shapes, carefree prints and tasselled details replacing basic jersey designs. Wear yours with a pair of scallop-hem shorts in classic navy, teaming it with your favourite pair of jeans when the weather cools down.
