8844217655?profile=original

Sitting in the yard with friends, going to the beach or grabbing a snack at a favorite restaurant are all activities that many of us love to engage in during the summer months. However, you might find yourself dripping with sweat and feeling uncomfortable when the summer sun hits. Instead of having to sacrifice style, opt for some fashion tricks to stay cool and attractive. Remember to always wear sunscreen and stay in the shade when possible as well. Some fashionable ways to beat the heat include hats, sunglasses, shorts, and accessory water bottles. Put your health first!

Wear a Hat

Hats used to be an absolute necessity that no one would go outside without. These days, they’ve fallen out of fashion, but lately hats have been making a comeback. A tight cap stuck to your head on a sticky day certainly isn’t going to increase your style factor. However, a loose cap or a sunhat can help to keep the sun off of your face. Just think about how much cooler you feel when you go sit down in the shade on a hot day. Without the sun beating down on your face, you can stay cool and dry. Furthermore, the hat can help to protect you from sunburn. In addition to looking unappealing, a sunburn can also be quite dangerous.

Cover Your Eyes

Your eyes are very sensitive, and you should protect them. Squinting into the sun while you are trying to enjoy drinks with friends is unpleasant. Fortunately, a stylish pair of sunglasses can help you to avoid this dilemma. Sunglasses have a hidden benefit as well. When you’re sitting outside in the heat for a while, you will quite possibly start to sweat. The sweat may make your eyeliner or mascara run a bit if you’re wearing any. With sunglasses on your face, no one has to know about this issue aside from you.

Grab Some Shorts

As you’re getting dressed to go out in the summer, you might focus on the fact that you want to wear a tank top. However, you also need to keep your legs cool. Adorning yourself in a tank top and jeans, for example, is likely to lead to your feeling quite warm. When you see a sale at your favorite store, stock up on shorts, capris, skirts and even some dresses. Often people default to wearing jeans even in warm weather, and this can rapidly heat up your whole body.

Invest in a Cool Water Bottle

Relaxing in the hot sun can quickly turn sour if you’re dehydrated. Think about all of those cool water bottles that are on the market right now. Investing in a couple of them means that you can have a bottle to match various outfits of yours. In addition to having the best wardrobe in the neighborhood, you’ll now also have the right accessory to match.

Beating the summer heat is important because you want to look stylish. Even more important is the fact that you don’t want to sacrifice your health. Following some tips can help to keep you cool and happy.
