I don’t know how things are where you live, but around here, it’s felt like living on the surface of the sun! It’s so yucky being hot and uncomfortable. I prefer cool and chic! I’m guessing you feel the same. That’s why I’m here to share some of the best clothing to wear to survive the heat while still feeling stylish and comfortable.
I’m doing a series on this all week, but I thought I’d start with a little overview. From light and breezy fabrics to the best colors to wear, we’ve got it all covered. Let’s dive in and make sure you stay cool and chic all summer long!
The Best Clothing To Wear To Survive The Heat – Dresses

Loose-fitting dresses are a great choice for hot weather. They allow air to circulate around your body, preventing you from feeling sticky and sweaty. This dress is made from 100% breathable linen, keeping you cool and comfy all day long.
The stripe at the bottom and tie waist add a touch of style, while the split neck and short sleeves make it super easy to wear. Plus, it’s machine washable – what’s not to love?

How’s this for a fresh and stylish summer look? This dress features a cheerful stripe print and is also made from linen. It’s got nice details—the button chest pockets and the cuff sleeves—but it still looks like a classic. It’s perfect for any casual outing, and it’s easy to care for, too. Leave off the tie if you want an even more relaxed look.

The Best Clothing To Wear To Survive The Heat – Skirts
Skirts are a fantastic choice for hot weather because they allow for better air circulation around your legs, helping you stay cool. Plus, they can be dressed up or down. This striped skirt is perfect for summer! It’s got an elastic waist, making it super comfy and easy to slip on. The relaxed A-line fit and soft cotton fabric are great for keeping cool.
Pair it with a tank top and sandals, and you’re ready to beat the heat in style! This is also available in tall, petite and plus size.

How pretty is this skirt? The white would go with anything! It’s nice and flowy, so air can move around, and I love the lace-like hem. The easy pull-on style, comfy elastic waist, and handy pockets make it perfect for any outing. Talbots never disappoints.
White is a great color to wear when it’s hot because it reflects sunlight rather than absorbing it. This helps keep you cooler by reducing the amount of heat that gets trapped in your clothes.

Blue and white are trending in a big way! You can be trendy AND cool in this flutter sleeve top. Made from 100% cotton, it’s breathable and comfortable.

This shirt will not only keep you cool but also create a classic look that you can wear for years! Made from 100% cotton, it’s breathable and comfy for warm summer days.
The description says the shoulders are shirred, which means that the fabric has been “gathered together with elastic or thread, creating small, decorative folds or pleats.” This detail adds a nice detail to an otherwise traditional shirt. Pair it with your favorite shorts or jeans for a laid-back, chic outfit!

Shorts are an obvious item to wear in the summer heat. I’ve got some longer ones below, but I thought I’d start with these. Made from a blend of 90% cotton and 10% linen, these shorts are lightweight and breathable, and that’s exactly what’s needed.
They have a drawstring elastic waist and come with four big pockets to keep your essentials handy. Available in a ton of colors, these shorts would work for any event where the temperature is high.
For those of you who like your shorts a little longer, this stretch linen pair should do nicely. They sit high on your waist and have a relaxed fit, making them a great option for any casual event. The 8″ inseam gives plenty of coverage, and they’re machine washable, too! They’re also available in tan and black if you prefer. Another great option from Dillard’s.

If you’ve got to wear pants in the heat, make sure they are loose and lightweight! These are made from a comfy blend of linen and rayon and feature a drawstring waist so you can tighten or loosen them as the days go by. With their wide leg and cropped palazzo style, they’re super versatile—you can dress them up for a night out or keep them casual for yoga or running errands. Plus, they come in tons of colors—16 shades, to be exact!

Ann Taylor never fails to deliver a chic look! These pants are made out of light, organic cotton terry. That sounds heavenly. Like the pair from Dillard’s, these pants also have an elastic drawstring waist and wide legs, perfect for chilling at home. Plus, they are easy to care for; just toss them in the machine for a quick wash. I’m not going to lie – comfy-chic loungewear is my favorite kind of fashion.
