How To Wear Black In The Summer

If you’re looking for a few simple tips on how to wear black in the summer, look no further. Although it is scientifically proven that black material absorbs more heat, we can still successfully wear black in the summer. We just need to be more conscious about the pieces that we choose, when those temps are soaring. The summer months and all the heat that comes along with it, should not prevent us from donning our finest black outfits. So how do we wear black in the summer, stay cool and look chic?

1.If you’re going to wear a maxi dress, long pants or anything that covers the whole body, make sure its super light and breathable.  Choose fabrics like linen, lightweight cottons, rayon and synthetic blends. Another lightweight breathable fabric that many wouldn’t consider in the summer is silk. Although it tends to retain oder and has to be cleaned often, many people do not know that silk is a very breathable fabric, and it’s so luxurious. When choosing your black pieces for the summer months, try to stay clear of polyester and nylon.

2.Incorporate black into your look by wearing a few black separates, like I’m wearing in this post.  Although I have on jeans and dad sandals, I love that I was able to elevate my look by adding a black rattan bag and super feminine top. This top also has small eyelets, which is amazing and helps to make it a perfect summer black top.

3. And last but not least, its summer guys so wear your black crop tops, shorts and above the knee smock dresses. Less is more, when it’s time to dress for the heat. Remember people..we don’t need to wait for a formal occasion, to wear black in the summer. With a little planning and wise choices, we can look chic and rock black any time we like.

I hope you all enjoy this post.

Until our next stylish encounter, as always loves..stay inspired.
