LThe increase in temperature is usually inversely proportional to the desire to dress well and elegantly. But there is a solution: the summer clothes. Simple, comfortable and above all fresh, they solve the inevitable morning dilemma in front of the mirror, revealing themselves to be trusted allies for the days when the mercury does not want to drop below 30 degrees. Here’s how to combine heat and style.
The clothes in cotton, linen and silk
Even before its shape and length, what makes the difference in the heat resistance of a dress is the tissue. To stay cool and dry then off to the cotton, breathable and light, even more so if in the Sangallo version; to the linen, a summer fabric par excellence, which maintains a certain allure of refinement even in the most oppressive heat; and to silkalways fresh, a pleasure to feel on the skin.
To be defined as fresh, a dress does not necessarily have to be characterized by a skimpy hem, an open back and thin straps. Very often, in fact, the secret is in order not to suffer from the heat cover up, do not find out. Hidden under satin and viscose skirts, the legs will be protected from the heat, while shoulders and arms, also under a light layer of fabric, will be less exposed to the sun’s rays.
