Top tips to keep stylishly cool in a summer heatwave

My top tips for keeping stylishly cool in the glorious summer sunshine …

• Wear natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, silk and bamboo that allow our skin to breathe. Synthetic fabrics such as polyester and lycra hold onto heat and moisture so are less suitable and comfortable in the heat
• Wear clothing that has a looser fit rather than anything too clingy and tight
• Enjoy wearing floaty midi and maxi summer dresses with a fit and flared shape for style and comfort
• Wide legged trousers are very stylish teamed with a more fitted or tailored top
• Avoid layers – instead mix textures
• Enjoy wearing bright and bold colours teamed with white tops, blouses and shirts
• If out in the sun, remember your sunglasses and sun hat if needed
• Choose a sun hat that complements your face shape. The brim should be no wider than your shoulders and hat size in proportion to your scale.
