Summer is here, the temperature is rising, and the days are getting longer in Northeast Ohio. What could be better? The summer heat is amazing but can bring some questions about what is best to wear. If you want to stay cool this summer and look cool while doing it, check out some of our top picks for the season.

Tank Tops

One of the most essential pieces of clothing for the summer heat is tank tops. The thin straps don’t keep you as warm as a shirt with sleeves would. Opting for a flowy tank top will help airflow, as well, allowing you to stay cooler.

T-shirts

Another great top option is T-shirts. They are a timeless piece of clothing that always help you stay cool, as they have minimal sleeves. This is a great option for a basic top to pair with a more adventurous bottom.

Dresses

Dresses provide a flowy option for the summer. They can be found with a variety of sleeve styles, allowing you to pick the style that you are most comfortable in. In addition, both long and short dressed can be designed for the warm weather, so there are options for everyone’s style.

Shorts

Shorts are the poster child for summer attire. They can be paired with just about any top you can imagine, all while keeping your legs much cooler than any long pants would. Shorts have always shown themselves to be in style during the spring and summer, so finding a pair or two that you love is a great investment.

Shoes

We have to wear shoes no matter where we go, so the summer can cause your feet to get a little bit toasty in the warmer months. Luckily, a pair of stylish sandals can not only allow you to stay cooler, but they can also serve as a great accessory for your favorite summer outfits.

Hats

Being outside in the summer can cause the sun to beat down on your face, making you warm up even faster. A stylish hat will help prevent the sun from shining on your face, ultimately keeping you cool this summer.

Summer wardrobes are best when they are versatile. We love having pieces that can be mixed and matched with one another to create fun, new outfits. Shopping at local clothing boutiques is a great way to build up your collection, plus you get to shop local!
