Suzanne Baum has spotlighted some fashion brands designed to keep you cool when those hot midlife moments strike. Follow her at Instagram.com/Suzanne_baum.
The Sensation Cooling Scarf
Independent brand owner Jude Moryoussef (far right), who created the Sensation Scarf, has developed a product to help keep you cool if you suffer from hot flushes. This is the perfect piece to help you when a hot flush happens as the nature of the fabric technology means that it keeps dry and cold at all times. Once taken out of its packaging, the scarf can be shaken and then placed anywhere on the skin, providing instant relief.

Become
From this female-driven start-up comes a range of loungewear that uses four key ways to alleviate the symptoms of hot flushes and night sweats. The cooling yarn the clothing is made from aims to cool the skin, wick away moisture, control odour and release heat back onto the skin during the post-flush chill. Super-soft, seam-free and lightweight, the fabric drapes over the skin in gorgeous tees, shorts, leggings and night dresses. There’s even a range of underwear for keeping you cool “down there”!
