Six style strategies to beat the heat(About.com)
Updated: 2007-07-26 17:44 1.Skip dark colors and opt for white or light-colored neutrals. They'll absorb less heat. 2.If sweating is a problem, avoid solid silks or heavy linens. They'll both show stains. 3.Opt for natural fabrics like cotton. There are synthetic, high-tech materials on the market, but it's hard to improve on cotton, which works to wick away moisture from your skin. 4.Take advantage of open-weave fabrics like mesh or pieces made of eyelet. The looser weaves have built-in ventilation. 5.Choose relaxed silhouettes like gauze sundresses, filmy camisoles or breezy skirts. Avoid too-tight anything: it's unbearable in the heat. 6.Lighten your load by trading a huge handbag for a smaller, lighter bag.
