If you are tired of scrolling through Pinterest to look for outfits that could beat the heat, tired of all the styles you own or have more T-shirts than you can count, it is time to find alternative fashion styles to survive the heat.
The solution? Try reconsidering your wardrobe - include different styles of clothing ranging from basic casual wear to formal wear. And I promise you, with good styling tips and breathable fabric choices, you are going to stay away from your T-shirts as much as possible.
Here’s a summer guide on how to look dressed up without being a sweaty disaster.
OUTFIT: 01. COLOUR ME BROWN
Summer blends
As the name suggests, it is a mixture of carefully chosen fabrics such as cotton, nylon and polyester. When put together, these fabrics absorb water really well, making them the perfect fabric choice in the Singapore weather. But, that’s not all. They keep their shape so you can put away your clothing iron for these.
OUTFIT: 02. BREATHE
Breathe through the fabric
Opt for a breathable fabric. Cotton is well-known for its soft, natural and breathable fabric. It is durable, versatile and inexpensive. Cotton has been a popular and commonly used material for centuries. It is not only comfortable but it also has the ability to control moisture. To give off a vibrant vibe, pair a yellow top together with some wide-legged jeans. This will give you a casual, fresh look and you can say goodbye to sticky claminess!
OUTFIT: 03. THE SIMPLE SERIES
Revamp and Declutter
Revamp your wardrobe with lightweight, summer-friendly options, from linen suiting fabric to breathable bamboo fabric. Ensure that you have a variety of clothing available to choose from for different occasions. Arrange them by colour or category. However, it doesn’t mean you should throw out all your jeans and jackets. Remember that fabric is key. The best part? You are going to look smashing without getting sweaty.
