Cool Tips for a Hot Summer
The summer is in full swing, and that means that all the summer fashion faux pas come out as well. These can happen anywhere, and at anytime, so this issue of the “Monthly Fashion Update” is meant to warn you before any serious crimes are committed.
Most people consider the visible panty line, otherwise known as VPL, the number one crime against fashion; the VPL takes on a whole new meaning in the summer. In the warmer weather, we are wearing lighter fabrics, in lighter colors, so owning a nude colored thong, (and bra!), is of utmost importance.
Speaking of bras – another faux pas that many people are also against is the idea of showing your bra straps. A good guideline is that anyone that is a C cup or larger, should not wear shirts with spaghetti straps – and that means tank tops too! If you are genetically gifted or physically enhanced, then you will need to look for tops that have wider straps so you can wear a good bra.
For the summer, you might also want to think about changing your purse. Of course, this doesn’t mean you can’t carry a leather purse, but why not take advantage of the warmer weather and opt for something in a fun color. You can even try a great canvas tote or straw bag as well. It’s an easy change and so appropriate for the season.
On that same idea, I would also try changing up some of your wardrobe and incorporate some of the great colors of summer. The dark colors like black can still be worn, but usually yellows, pinks, orange and light green are harder to pull off in the winter. Plus, these wonderful colors look fabulous with a chic pair of white jeans or a white jean jacket – very summery!
Lastly, anything worn too tight, in any season, can make even the skinniest person look large. Even though the high temperature may make you want to wear the least amount of clothing possible, there is a tasteful way to stay cool. Opt for lighter fabrics like linen and 100% cotton. Also, try looking for things in lighter colors which will reflect light instead of dark colors, which absorb heat.
