Yes agree! I cut my hair into a short bob last year and I really missed being able to get all of my hair off my neck when it was hot, as some of it was too short to put up without extensive use of clips. I used to think shorter hair was better in summer, not anymore! Much better to have it a bit longer and be able to put it all up.

"You might as well put a trashbag and walk outside..." 🤣😂😄

Goodness, I wish I could send this video to every freaking clothing store in my country. The fashion industry has apparently not realized that summers get really hot here now, and when you go summer clothes shopping, eeeeeverything is polyester (and often multilayered). There's a reason why most of my summer wardrobe was bought on vacation in countries where people understand what to wear when it's hot out… Also agree with the people saying to pull up your hair if you have long hair. Otherwise it'll just stick to your neck and you'll be sweaty and upsetty. Also: LIGHT COLORS. Dark clothes will just heat up in the sun super fast and who of us wants that?!

Sweaty and upsetty! Lol! that's me every summer!! But seriously, natural fibres & a looser fit always helps.

I love cotton-linen blends...they wrinkle a little less than pure linen, have the tensile strength of cotton, and are very airy and breathable, especially when the silhouette of the piece skims the body without being tight.

Agree 100% with you... Nothing is better than Cottons during summer when the climate is hot & humid & Polyester is a definite no no.

Light-coloured and/or structured clothing requires a lining, so that the garment isn't limp or see-through. However, using natural-fibre fabrics for linings is (relatively) expensive, while polyester and nylon are cheap. That's why.

I absolutely agree with you - light and natural fabrics are sooo important in summer! But what bothers me is that SO many cute light summer tops and dresses are 100% Polyester 🤦🏼‍♀️

Only to realize 2 hours into wearing it my deodorant was no match for the fabric and it's a good thing masks are still in where I live...plus it's hard to find highly professional clothing which isn't polyester or requires a ton of care (linen would be far too casual for my work, which is kind of silly).

I settled for thick (because the give the clothes a more structured and mature shape, if that makes sense) 100% cotton shirts and blouses. You have to iron most of them but wearing them is much more pleasant than Polyester stuff. Love linen but agree with you

I love summer dressing. I used to live in the Philippines so we pretty much dress for a very hot and humid day everyday. I feel like this is the season that I have define and refined as I got older. Last year I was into anything eyelet. Eyelet tops, dresses and skirts. Now, I have been experimenting with loud colors.

I have made a conscious effort this year to not complain about the heat but just dress for it and just accept I live somewhere hot that is getting hotter. It was 111 yesterday, but as we say, “It’s a DRY heat.” 😜 I used to always post weather forecasts in my social media accounts and all the 😱🥵😨😤 emojis to go along with high temps. Except for a few stories with temps posted, no complaints from me and it’s made a huge difference. My go-to outfit when it’s hot is a simple cotton tee, a flouncy A-line skirt, lightweight summery earrings and sandals that neither flip nor flop. I just can’t feel polished in shoes that slap my feet as I walk thru Trader Joe’s.

Having lived on the Gulf coast all my life, I would agree with most of the tips given. However I have found that belts can be very uncomfortable in hot weather. I prefer clothing that is loose at the waist.

The cute wedges, jeans, and white blouse is such a classic. It always works. 🙌🏾

She sure has - hasn’t she? Fun to watch.

I live in the southern part of India where it's perpetually summer and LINEN is life honestly. I've often seen people wear polyester around and wonder how they pull it off.

I loved how you really broke it down explaining the simple mistakes that women can make in summer outfits. Especially love your comment about wearing plastics. Much prefer natural fabrics. and find that the natural fabrics are easier to wear in the summer time.

Ms. Audrey, thank you for the practical suggestion to wear cotton and linen in order to stay cool during summer months. I’m finding that it takes a little more time and resources to obtain them. Worth the effort though. Also, would you mind sharing some practical and stylish suggestions on what to wear on rainy days? Thank you so much for all you do.

This has been so helpful! I’m a New Englander preparing to move to southern Texas and I’m so anxious about the heat and not enjoying getting dressed because of how in love I am with my Fall/Winter wardrobe!

I miss you listing where items you are wearing can be purchased. Love your white blouse!

I've always hated summer - I have a skin condition so have always wanted to cover it up, making the season unbearably hot as I usually stick to long sleeves and trousers... This year I've been feeling a lot more self love and confidence but had no idea where to start with styling short or skirts. This video is a god send, thank you Audrey 😁

I love that you mention, albeit in passing, that you feel bloated because you're dehydrated. Wearing an outfit that allows your body to cope with the effects of heat and, yes, keeping hydrated, are so important. The knock on effects of constrictive clothing and not enough water in the summer to your brain aren't nice. Great video!

Your point on natural fabrics is so true. Your vids have helped me change the way I shop, so now I purchase clothes in primarily natural fabrics and it was such a GAMECHANGER. My gosh, I've never felt so comfortable!

Thank you so much for your summer recommendations! Moving from the NE to Atlanta has made me at first overwhelmed with what to wear in the summer. Now a couple of seasons in, I am finding it more of a creative challenge and have really enjoyed the resulting outfits!

I love what you said about hair texture. I find that when I play into my natural frizz and curls in the heat, my hair thrives. I cringe at all the times I tried to fry it into submission with my flat iron only to have it puff up the second I left the house lol

I like the rustic area around the house behind you. Love all your mixed outfits.

Yes please. I also live in an extremely humid city and I hate polyester with a passion. Even “fresh” viscose garments can feel clingy when you are sweaty. If is not cotton or linen I don’t even look at it in a store

Really awesome tips, thank you! Wearing a light blouse as a "jacket" also worked for me this summer, makes the outfit more interesting but isn't adding too much weight.

Also wanted to add - merino wool t’s and tanks are amazing. I only used to wear synthetic for athletic gear but have learned that some synthetics are super breathable and great for travel. Quick drying, wicking materials and wrinkle free. I have found that quality matters relating to clothing like this,

Yes to those earrings, especially those longer, chunky ones that don't work as well with colder weather coats, hats,hooded coats, higher neck sweaters, scarves, etc. 😁

Yes yes yes to all of these tips! I feel like this summer is the first time I actually feel good in my summer wardrobe. It’s mostly lose linen or cotton. We don’t really have ACs in Germany so dressing appropriately is key!

You have really opened my mind to the possibilities!! 🙏🏼💗

Just thought I would share some insight for us ladies new to the desert life.. It's usually 112° and above where I live. Your birthday suit is all you really want to wear however the closest to that would be billowy linen or cotton and Audry suggests. Don't forget your favorite straw hat! A cowgirl, panama, or wide brim straw hat gives you that pizzazz factor to plain linen or cotton dressing. As far as jewelry a ring or earrings is about it because necklaces and bracelets stick to your sweaty skin. A pretty scarf to hold your hair back or tied around your ponytail or high bun also enhances your overall look. Caudalie makes a wonderfully refreshing grape water spray mist. I put it my purse and spritz my arms, neck, face and legs to cool off!! I hope this helps ladies struggling with Desert living. 🌵🌵🌵🌵🌞

The base temp in the SE doesn't get that high, but humidity hits different than dry heat. Like tomorrow it will be around 88F with 88% humidity. The heat index brings that up to around 110F. It gets better though---when it's humid and stays humid like it does in the SE, sweat doesn't evaporate, so you can't cool off unless you can dry out the air. Fans are great, but even as I'm sitting in an air conditioned house, the air is damp and retaining additional heat. It sucks.

Completely agree! I’m also I’m SC and haven’t really bought wool in 30 years. I try hard to make my wardrobe “year round” with a heavy emphasis on linen and cotton.

I also have moved to a hotter and more humid climate, which really keeps me indoors during the summer months. I actually feel more alive during the cooler weather as I tend to perspire more than the most individuals. My hair gets really frizzy and bigger too, with the humidity. So an updo is a must. Honestly, most of the time I put it up in a pony tail just for running errands; and I try to do most of my errands after sunset.

Yes! I'm from the desert and this is definitely the way to dress to stay cool in the summer. I'd also add to be careful when buying dresses. . sometimes even fairly nice brands will sew polyester lining or a slip into a 100% cotton dress. Oof!

Beautiful top! As is the little blue and white dress. Links please 😊😊
