Yes, it's god damn hot and it's not easy to think about your style during this heatwave but that doesn’t mean you can't.
Although the only thing we can think about is being as naked as w can during the day, trying to find a way to live in an air condition or other brilliant ideas; we'd like to remind you the 8 sartorial rules you need to be following right now.
The solution might seem easy: Bermuda shorts, t-shirt and sandals. But that's not all!
So here, to help you get it right as the weather warms up and the lockdown rules loosen, are 8 key rules for staying stylish in the heat.
1. Fabrics! Yes, fabrics!
A simple but important one. Wearing the wrong fabrics in the heat might tak your will to live. Silk-linen mixes, poplin cottons and open-weave pique fabrics are your best bet here. In fact, anything even remotely breathable will be your best friend.
2. Hat! But the cool ones...
3. Wear that bloody sun cream!
4. The biggest investment for your style during the year - especially for summer: A proper Sunglasses
A good pair of sunglasses will have the power to make or, indeed, rapidly break your look. The key, therefore, is to not only spend money on a quality pair that will enhance everything else you’re wearing, but to also choose some that will go with all the summer gear you own. If you tend to sport beiges, blues and greys then opt for a pair of glasses in tortoiseshell. If you prefer primary hues or monochromatic shades, go for black.
5. And, of course, shorts... Get as much as you can!
Get yourself a couple of high-quality tailored shorts you really enjoy wearing and feel great in, because the chances are you’ll be sporting them much more than usual in the coming months.
6. Never take your shirt off in public (unless you’re lying horizontal or you are in a park)
7. Sandals rather than flip-flops
Keep your flip-flops for the gym showers (when gyms finally reopen) instead. You can never go wrong with a good pair of Birkenstocks.
