What Women Should Steer Clear of Wearing in the Summer Heat
Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding Summer Attire
When the summer sun blazes, it's crucial to choose your outfits wisely. While personal expression in fashion is important, certain clothing choices can lead to discomfort during high temperatures.
Recently, I came across a video of a man planning a surprise date in Miami. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a total flop. The heat combined with the woman's outfit choice made the outing unbearable. Interestingly, the man struggled with the heat as well, showing just how vital appropriate clothing is for both genders.
So, to help women prepare for any summer event, here are some clothing styles to avoid.
Section 1.1: Fabrics to Avoid
#1. The Unforgiving Material
I never imagined that latex would be worn outside of intimate settings until I spotted the Kardashian-Jenners flaunting it in public. This fabric is suffocating, making even a mild day feel unbearably hot and sticky. Moreover, it restricts movement, trapping sweat in high-sweat areas. Instead, opt for breathable cotton or cotton blends that fit well without compromising comfort.
#2. Synthetic Materials
While not as extreme as latex, synthetic fabrics can be problematic. They tend to cling to moisture, making it tough to feel cool, even in air conditioning. These materials can trap heat, leaving you feeling sticky and sweaty. Natural fibers like cotton are far better for dresses, tops, and pants.

#3. Winter Attire
While faux fur coats may look chic, summer alternatives are more suitable. Heavy winter items like wool, thick denim jackets, and turtlenecks should be left in the closet during the warmer months. Even lightweight jackets like crop tops or puffer styles can become unbearable when temperatures rise. Instead, consider a light flannel coverup for those cooler evenings.
#4. Uncomfortable Activewear
Gym attire is often praised for its comfort, but tight-fitting pieces can be more of a nuisance than a relief. Consider how quickly the fabric wicks moisture away. If it doesn’t, you might end up feeling damp while running errands. Choose wisely when selecting your workout wear.
#5. Closed-Toe Shoes
While heels are a favorite for many, any closed-toe footwear can be a hot mess in the summer heat, especially if made from synthetic materials. They can become uncomfortable and sweaty. If you adore heels or boots, consider using powder or sweat-absorbing insoles. Bringing a pair of flats for a quick change can offer relief when needed.
