It’s now August, and with that, the hottest days of the year are here. It can be hard to find the right balance between staying cool and looking stylish. Don’t worry, XOXO has your back with these top picks. Be sure to check them out for the best ways to dress chicly and stay sweat-free.
Tops
Vest tops are a great sleeveless option that are perfect for whether you want to look classy on a casual day or keep it classy on a work day—just don’t forget to wear your sunscreen! This Veronica Beard vest top comes in fabulous shades of pink, adding a pop of color to your outfit. A long-sleeve button-down is always great, no matter the weather, with its light material and staple within any capsule wardrobe. We like this alice + olivia top because its blue floral pattern just brightens your day. A white tee is another simple yet timeless option, and this Splits59 option is a great pick.
Bottoms
Linen pants are one of the best ways you can wear long pants on a hot day. They’re breathable, come in great neutral colors, and are incredibly timeless. This pair of Splendid linen pants is a wide cut, which allows the breeze to flow when you’re walking and will keep you cool. Another option is to try these Endless Rose shorts, which come in a great navy color that will match any top. Maxi skirts are also a great choice, whether you wear them out to run your errands or even use them as your swimsuit cover-up. We like this AQUA midi skirt for its adorable pattern and summer vibe.
Shoes
Nobody wants to wear thick socks in summer weather, so keep those feet sweat-free with this Oxy Originals shoe. Perfect for everyday wear, they’re made of breathable materials and extremely comfortable. For a more summery pick, try these SCHUTZ heeled sandals, great for dressing up or down for any occasion. Beachy and boho vibes are popular in the summer, so raffia or woven styles are in. This AQUA sandal is perfect for taking to the pool and slipping on or off when you want to walk along the sand.
Accessories
Nothing completes an outfit better than accessories, and just because it’s hot doesn’t mean you need to skip out on them to keep yourself cool. Protect your eyes from harmful UV rays with these Ray-Ban sunglasses. The aviator lenses complement most face types and are a great everyday staple. For an extra layer of protection, add on this Eric Javits visor to keep the shade over your entire face. Finally, give your bottoms a stylish accent with this rag & bone belt, which will keep your pants tight around your waist while adding some simple, shiny hardware.
