Style can be hard in the summer, when it gets so hot and humid in the city that the air feels like a thick, warm mist. How are you going to beat the heat in style? No simple tank and short short will do—soggy and stressed-out is not a good look on anyone.
But the sartorial forecast isn’t so horrible. This summer—even if you have barely there AC!—you don’t have to look like a mangy mess while you relax in the privacy of your home: Trust us, you can stay cool and keep your style intact.
It s all about paring down your ensemble to the bare minimum: chic underpinnings and easy-to-remove shirts (we’re looking at you, Carrie Bradshaw). Think: a leopard lingerie set with an pullover shirt (this can be fun with a dose of quirk), a see-through bodysuit (heated days can look hot, too), or simply a pair of boy shorts for a bit of at-least-I-look-cute while you do those around the house chores (catching up on Netflix counts!). But most of all—don’t forget the must-have accessory: a handheld fan. Your own wind machine is very supermodel-esque, after all.
