In the heat, the best clothes to keep you cool in the dog days of Summer are styles that are made from lighter fabrics. Of course, some days are so hot; you don’t know what to wear. So, I have the best styles to keep you cool throughout the summer months.
Best Clothes to Keep you Cool
If you’re going to make it through the scorching heat; you need clothes that will keep you comfortable. When you’re headed to a meeting and want something fashionable, yet won’t have you sweating; wear breathable styles.
For instance, go for fabrics such as cotton, linen, or lightweight jersey material.
Moreover, this dress style is perfect to wear to work, casually or to take with you on vacation. For additional vacation styles; be sure to visit my Peek Inside My Luggage post.

Avoid Heavier Fabric
Indeed, heavy fabrics block airflow. You should avoid wearing clothes that are made out of the following fabrics:
- Nylon
- Polyester
- Rayon
- Wool
Another tip I have is to wear light color clothing. At the same time, the darker your clothes are; the more light they absorb which turns into heat. So, stick to beige, dusty pink, gray, khaki, neutrals, pastels, and white.
Choose Cooler Styles and Loosen Up
Meanwhile, it is important to avoid wearing body-hugging clothing. In fact, the looser the style is; the cooler you will feel. And, of course, the more you will be able to move around.
Hence, this rapid dry T-shirt for any guy will keep him cool and comfortable even when the temperature is rising.

On the other hand, don’t forget to wear sunglasses and a hat. Whereas, a hat will keep the sun from blazing on your head and sunglasses will protect your eyes. Moreover, accessories will not only help keep you cool; but will also give you a cool summer vibe.
In essence, the more sun you get; the hotter your body will feel. For the best footwear to keep your feet feeling light; be sure to wear lightweight shoes such as an espadrille or flip flops. Be sure to check out my National Flip Flop Day and Best White Shoe Styles posts for styles that are good choices to wear on a hot day.
Finally, don’t forget to protect your skin. As a result of my own experience with melanoma; I think one of the most important things everyone needs in the summer is a sunscreen with a 30 SPF. For the best sunscreens; be sure to read my Best SPF 30 Skin Sunscreens post.
