It is always best when you wear loose clothes which do not stick to your skin at all. Your clothes should just hang on you and not wrap you so that you feel comfortable and your body is able to breathe. Since we are all home as well, why not bring out those maxi dresses and skirts or shorts for that matter.

Bye Bye Padded Bras

It is best to keep those padded bras away and wear unlined but soft cotton bras or bralettes. That foaming pad is the last thing you need in this heat.

Opt For Structured Seams

To avoid clothes sticking to your body, don't wear flimsy fabrics. Opt for lightweight materials with some structure like embroidery or seams. Then they will not cling to you the moment you start sweating.

This layering will help you feel more summerish and easy breezy!

Natural Fabrics

Make full use of your cotton and keep the rayons, polyesters back in the wardrobe. They absorb sweat and dry faster as well so you will not feel sweaty and claustrophobic either.

I understand they look cool, but they are nothing short of torture in this heat. They weigh down your clothes and, make them stick to your body even more. This traps the body heat and can suffocate you as well. You can go for patterns and prints to break the monotony instead.

Hats Out

You can buy or bring out those wide-brimmed hats if you are going out or simply wear a woven scarf. The scarf can be styled with your outfit or tied to your bag.

Unlined Skirts & Jackets

Don't wear anything with a lining especially jackets or skirts. It will feel like an added weight on your body especially in this heat. Why add layers?

The Right Bags

Get yourselves sling bags that do not have to stick to your back like backpacks. A big tote or backpacks are nothing but added layers as they do not let the wind touch you wherever they have been worn. They make you sweat more.

Hair

Wear a cotton scarf around your neck or tir your pony with one to keep the hair from sticking to your neck. If you are wearing it around the neck, at home, you can also soak it in cold water and then wear it. This is just a tip for extra cooling.

Full Sleeves

If you can, then wear full-sleeved but thin fabric tops as they guard your skin from direct sunlight. This saves your skin from the raised body temperature that you might face due to sun exposure.

Light Colours

This is a basic but many still do not get it. The light coloured clothes reflect the sunlight and keep you cool whereas dark clothes absorb more. Therefore it is suggested that you wear light hues.
