Fashion expert styles to keep you cool

Weave magic

A linen T-shirt is a summer must-have. Not only will the natural, woven fabric keep you cool, but also the elevated take on a wardrobe staple will smarten up the simplest of outfits. Try teaming this soft pink hue with cream and oatmeal shades for a stylish lightweight look.

Keep it breezy

The key to keeping cool in the heat is to switch tight-fitting items for loose styles. Not only are wide-leg trousers an elegant summer option, but also the oversized fit will allow air to circulate. Look for a high-waisted pair as they’ll make your legs look even longer.

Strap line

If you want to wear a camisole without flashing your bra, look for a style with wider straps and a square neckline. This cut offers extra coverage at crucial areas to stop any underwear faux pas while also looking super flattering as it frames your collarbone.
