How to Beat the Heat. Step one: Get a pool. Get an ocean. Get some water. Water helps cool you down in heat.
How to Beat the Heat. Step two: shorts. Jeans, and pants, and even some dresses will leave you burning up. Shorts are tricky–finding the right coverage, the right length, the right material. But, as tricky as shorts can be, they are one of the best ways to keep your legs cool and beat the heat.
How to Beat the Heat. Step Three: the right shoes. At this point, you may be thinking that these shoes aren’t the best for beating the heat, but loves, hear me out. In the summer, it’s so tempting to throw on your flip flops. And I get it. And flip flops have their place. But when it’s one million degrees outside (not an exaggeration), the sun bakes the concrete. Flip flops, for all the good they do, are on top of the hot concrete. The result? Your feet bake. They swell. They get too hot. Maybe heels aren’t for you, but they do put a layer between you and hot concrete.
How to Beat the Heat. Step Four. Cotton, breathable, and open. What I love about this specific cotton shirt dress is that it buttons every which way-up the front, down the back, up each side; making it wearable as almost anything-from a dress to a top. The venting also makes it cool even when the heat is unbearable. In this instance, worn as a shirt over shorts was the best option to make it through summer heat!
How to Beat the Heat. Step Five. Fans, cool drinks, and when you can’t take it anymore, I suggest finding the nearest place with AC where your makeup, hair, clothes, etc won’t melt!
I hope that the last week of “summer” is amazing for you and I hope that whatever you’re up to, you’re beathing the heat and staying cool!
