"You might as well put a trashbag and walk outside..." 🤣😂😄
I love cotton-linen blends...they wrinkle a little less than pure linen, have the tensile strength of cotton, and are very airy and breathable, especially when the silhouette of the piece skims the body without being tight.
I always wear my hair tied back (and preferably up) in very hot weather - it's amazing how much difference it makes having the back of your neck open to the air. I feel much cooler straight away.
Pippa S me too! I'm really surprised Audrey doesn't wear her thick hair up or back more often.
I could not get my hair cut for six months during covid lock-down, so obv it grew much longer. It was shocking to me how hot it is around the neck. Might as well wear a wool scarf during a heat wave!
Yes agree! I cut my hair into a short bob last year and I really missed being able to get all of my hair off my neck when it was hot, as some of it was too short to put up without extensive use of clips. I used to think shorter hair was better in summer, not anymore! Much better to have it a bit longer and be able to put it all up.
Agree 100% with you... Nothing is better than Cottons during summer when the climate is hot & humid & Polyester is a definite no no.
What about viscose ?
Goodness, I wish I could send this video to every freaking clothing store in my country. The fashion industry has apparently not realized that summers get really hot here now, and when you go summer clothes shopping, eeeeeverything is polyester (and often multilayered). There's a reason why most of my summer wardrobe was bought on vacation in countries where people understand what to wear when it's hot out…
Also agree with the people saying to pull up your hair if you have long hair. Otherwise it'll just stick to your neck and you'll be sweaty and upsetty. Also: LIGHT COLORS. Dark clothes will just heat up in the sun super fast and who of us wants that?!
It kills me that so many brands advertise "lightweight & airy fabric for summer" and then it's synthetic...
Sweaty and upsetty! Lol! that's me every summer!! But seriously, natural fibres & a looser fit always helps.
I want to know why so many manufacturers line cotton and linen summer clothes with polyester or nylon. Talk about defeating the purpose of cotton and linen summer clothes!
Plus, clothes with that kind of lineing need to be dry cleaned.
Yes! I hate that!
Light-coloured and/or structured clothing requires a lining, so that the garment isn't limp or see-through. However, using natural-fibre fabrics for linings is (relatively) expensive, while polyester and nylon are cheap. That's why.
I absolutely agree with you - light and natural fabrics are sooo important in summer! But what bothers me is that SO many cute light summer tops and dresses are 100% Polyester 🤦🏼♀️
I so often fall for these at work! Only to realize 2 hours into wearing it my deodorant was no match for the fabric and it's a good thing masks are still in where I live...plus it's hard to find highly professional clothing which isn't polyester or requires a ton of care (linen would be far too casual for my work, which is kind of silly).
@@thenopedetective EXACTLY! No matter how much or what deodorant I use, I have to put the Polyester dress in the washing mashine afterwards - so annoying! Yes, sadly Polyester clothes are more affordable (Literally most of the Fast Fashion stuff I see is made of Polyester, which is another reason not to buy it).
I settled for thick (because the give the clothes a more structured and mature shape, if that makes sense) 100% cotton shirts and blouses. You have to iron most of them but wearing them is much more pleasant than Polyester stuff. Love linen but agree with you
I love how so many of the mistakes you mentioned are about making you feel bad rather than about making you look 'bad'!
🙂It’s light woven or knit COTTONS for me, SILK and I’m loving loose cut LINENS bc I don’t wear shorts or short skirts (not EVER been a Summer gal) Also worthy to note are BAMBOO fabrics, HEMP and if you can get a hold of anything made of PINEAPPLE🍍 CLOTH, that fabric is divine. Athletic synthetics are not for me, no matter if they wick or not...the stench of body odor just sits in it.
Athletic wear feels icky in humidity. Natural fibers are the way to go.
Pineapple cloth sounds intriguing. I only know it as a sustainable vegan leather. I’ll be looking for it as a fabric now. 😀
You don’t sweat and stink in silk? I was excited to try it but it doesn’t work for me. At least the pieces I bought didn’t work. I felt, and smelled, like I was wearing plastic.
Most athletic wear doesn’t breath like it’s supposed to but I find that if a invest in more quality brands they work MUCH better at wicking the sweat and the stink. I play tennis every morning so I spend quite a bit of time in workout wear.
Good point about pineapple fabric. This has been used for centuries in a tropical hot and humid country like the Philippines. The fabric is used for its national costume matter of factly. Of course the more affordable option is cotton, light and airy. And a pair of flip flops.
@@spontaneousjane - Although silk is lightweight; it does not breathe like other fabrics
Organic cotton, some linens and loose-fitting are key in hot weather.
I absolutely melt in the heat, and my tip is wearing a large brimmed sun hat! It makes all the difference in keeping me cooler! And they can look quite stylish too - my best summer accessory!
I LOVE broad brimmed hats. They can be very glamorous, especially when paired with a sundress and sunglasses... However I HATE the hat hair that occurs when the hat inevitably has to come off
I love summer dressing. I used to live in the Philippines so we pretty much dress for a very hot and humid day everyday. I feel like this is the season that I have define and refined as I got older. Last year I was into anything eyelet. Eyelet tops, dresses and skirts. Now, I have been experimenting with loud colors.
I have made a conscious effort this year to not complain about the heat but just dress for it and just accept I live somewhere hot that is getting hotter. It was 111 yesterday, but as we say, “It’s a DRY heat.” 😜
I used to always post weather forecasts in my social media accounts and all the 😱🥵😨😤 emojis to go along with high temps. Except for a few stories with temps posted, no complaints from me and it’s made a huge difference.
My go-to outfit when it’s hot is a simple cotton tee, a flouncy A-line skirt, lightweight summery earrings and sandals that neither flip nor flop. I just can’t feel polished in shoes that slap my feet as I walk thru Trader Joe’s.
My dad used to say “dry heat” as he was in AC and my mom and I sweltered at home! We recently had 116 which is like 30 degrees over norm….lol…..took me back.
I live in a “dry heat” area but it has rained much more than usual this year. I try to just focus on loose fitting linen. After all, we start to get cooler weather in October!
@squared up: your comment about flop flops made me giggle. You seem to walk in them like my own daughter. I can definitely rock a pair of Havaianas with linen dresses and walk the TJ'S ailes without flapping. :-)
Your videos always get important information across while still being calming. Something about the lighting, colour palette, and your voice.
Choosing an oversized outfit in summer is the best. An airy dress, comfortable sandals and a pair of sunglasses are mandatory for me.
Yay, perfect, totally agree!
Completely agree
Having lived on the Gulf coast all my life, I would agree with most of the tips given. However I have found that belts can be very uncomfortable in hot weather. I prefer clothing that is loose at the waist.
The cute wedges, jeans, and white blouse is such a classic. It always works. 🙌🏾
🥰❤️
I love your channel so much. I enjoy that you provide inspiration without telling us exactly what to buy. Kinda rare these days!
I agree that finding a way to 'lean' into fashion that works with heat and humidity versus complaining loudly (which is what I did the first few years in Georgia...LOL) is the right approach....if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.....LOL....and working out first thing in the morning before the heat kicks in works too...LOL...no running after 11AM....LOL...Big Hugs Angel....super suggestions and advice as always...
🤗🤗🤗 so much yes to all of this! I always look forward to your comments Dina ❤️❤️❤️
When in Rome...
I was recently gifted a linen dress from Uniqlo. It changed my life. Completely agree with your recommendations.
That’s the perfect gift.
@@marylhere I agree! 😁
Love the white flock top you are wearing with the pink bottoms. Very elegant.
Totally agree with your choice to stop fighting with your hair! I, thanks to you Audrey, have done the same. Back to my natural dark hair, loose long curls. No more straightening or colour changes. Certainly saves time AND money. Love those pink shorts on you 😍
I totally agree with the need to wear natural fibers in the summer. Actually, I choose cotton and linen year round whenever possible.
I live in the southern part of India where it's perpetually summer and LINEN is life honestly. I've often seen people wear polyester around and wonder how they pull it off.
Audrey, I've watched your style journey for several years now and it's delightful to see you come into your own. Great advice, and cheers to you from Florida. 😎
She sure has - hasn’t she? Fun to watch.
Ms. Audrey, thank you for the practical suggestion to wear cotton and linen in order to stay cool during summer months. I’m finding that it takes a little more time and resources to obtain them. Worth the effort though. Also, would you mind sharing some practical and stylish suggestions on what to wear on rainy days? Thank you so much for all you do.
I loved how you really broke it down explaining the simple mistakes that women can make in summer outfits. Especially love your comment about wearing plastics. Much prefer natural fabrics. and find that the natural fabrics are easier to wear in the summer time.
I love what you said about hair texture. I find that when I play into my natural frizz and curls in the heat, my hair thrives. I cringe at all the times I tried to fry it into submission with my flat iron only to have it puff up the second I left the house lol
This has been so helpful! I’m a New Englander preparing to move to southern Texas and I’m so anxious about the heat and not enjoying getting dressed because of how in love I am with my Fall/Winter wardrobe!
I've always hated summer - I have a skin condition so have always wanted to cover it up, making the season unbearably hot as I usually stick to long sleeves and trousers...
This year I've been feeling a lot more self love and confidence but had no idea where to start with styling short or skirts. This video is a god send, thank you Audrey 😁
Yes please. I also live in an extremely humid city and I hate polyester with a passion. Even “fresh” viscose garments can feel clingy when you are sweaty. If is not cotton or linen I don’t even look at it in a store
Also wanted to add - merino wool t’s and tanks are amazing. I only used to wear synthetic for athletic gear but have learned that some synthetics are super breathable and great for travel. Quick drying, wicking materials and wrinkle free. I have found that quality matters relating to clothing like this,
I miss you listing where items you are wearing can be purchased. Love your white blouse!
Thank you so much for your summer recommendations! Moving from the NE to Atlanta has made me at first overwhelmed with what to wear in the summer. Now a couple of seasons in, I am finding it more of a creative challenge and have really enjoyed the resulting outfits!
I love that you mention, albeit in passing, that you feel bloated because you're dehydrated. Wearing an outfit that allows your body to cope with the effects of heat and, yes, keeping hydrated, are so important. The knock on effects of constrictive clothing and not enough water in the summer to your brain aren't nice.
Great video!
Just thought I would share some insight for us ladies new to the desert life.. It's usually 112° and above where I live. Your birthday suit is all you really want to wear however the closest to that would be billowy linen or cotton and Audry suggests. Don't forget your favorite straw hat! A cowgirl, panama, or wide brim straw hat gives you that pizzazz factor to plain linen or cotton dressing. As far as jewelry a ring or earrings is about it because necklaces and bracelets stick to your sweaty skin. A pretty scarf to hold your hair back or tied around your ponytail or high bun also enhances your overall look. Caudalie makes a wonderfully refreshing grape water spray mist. I put it my purse and spritz my arms, neck, face and legs to cool off!! I hope this helps ladies struggling with Desert living. 🌵🌵🌵🌵🌞
The base temp in the SE doesn't get that high, but humidity hits different than dry heat. Like tomorrow it will be around 88F with 88% humidity. The heat index brings that up to around 110F. It gets better though---when it's humid and stays humid like it does in the SE, sweat doesn't evaporate, so you can't cool off unless you can dry out the air. Fans are great, but even as I'm sitting in an air conditioned house, the air is damp and retaining additional heat. It sucks.
@@wangocopperboom That is the worst!!!!! I couldn't handle that.
I like the rustic area around the house behind you. Love all your mixed outfits.
Your point on natural fabrics is so true. Your vids have helped me change the way I shop, so now I purchase clothes in primarily natural fabrics and it was such a GAMECHANGER. My gosh, I've never felt so comfortable!
Really awesome tips, thank you! Wearing a light blouse as a "jacket" also worked for me this summer, makes the outfit more interesting but isn't adding too much weight.
Omg this video is gorgeous. The location, your outfits, the sound. Simply divine :)
Hemp fabric is amazing if you can find it, and raw silk (or silk noil) It has a matte look, like cotton, and a bit nubby. I find it cooler than cotton. That's been hard to find, too, unless you sew.
Jungmaven!
Linen, cotton and viscose are my summer fabrics, but linen is my fave, where I live (🇭🇷) it s too hot even for cotton
Try adding silk or satin :) narural silk has a cooling efect..or add clothes that are made of chiffon..simply because they're extra breathable..plus AVOID black or dark color during day..cuz they tend to apsorb heat😁 peace from 🇭🇷 also
@@nemaganijenavedeno3863 thanx, pozz 💜
Thank you for the tips! I love wrap dresses and they are very comfortable for summer. Just get the right fabric, as you said 😊❤️
You have really opened my mind to the possibilities!! 🙏🏼💗
you lift me up! please don't ever stop posting content. The weather could be terrible outside, then I watch one of your videos and I'm up 'n' Adam, out the door and off I go! Thank you, for all you do!
Yes to those earrings, especially those longer, chunky ones that don't work as well with colder weather coats, hats,hooded coats, higher neck sweaters, scarves, etc. 😁
It’s always a pleasure to watch your content. You always have the most sensible and often overlooked advice.
Your outfit!! 😍😍
I am so grateful that I’ve learned about the dreadful, plastic polyester and have all but purged it from my closet! And am using Cotton & linen! And I like certain rayons and tencel too.
Yes yes yes to all of these tips! I feel like this summer is the first time I actually feel good in my summer wardrobe. It’s mostly lose linen or cotton. We don’t really have ACs in Germany so dressing appropriately is key!
Yet another enjoyable and practical video...stay cool and enjoy your Summer, Audrey! 😁❤️🌞
Thank you Audrey. Good tips.
Good tips. Thank you, Audrey!
Completely agree! I’m also I’m SC and haven’t really bought wool in 30 years. I try hard to make my wardrobe “year round” with a heavy emphasis on linen and cotton. Light weight cotton sweaters or wraps are useful when the AC is too strong in the office. The challenge is looking professional when the weather is boiling.
I love all your tops with puffy shoulders - a statement shoulder is one of my favorite things. YES re-natural fabrics, but for me NO re-jewelry, because I can’t stand extra things touching my skin when it’s hot!! (Yes on sunnies & hats tho!!) 😊
I'm the same way with jewelry, but year-round. Idk if it's my autism or what but I hate wearing jewelry, and in the summer it's 1000x worse! I stick to hats, shoes, and bags. I need some sunglasses as well 😅
Yes! Likewise. I can do one light necklace and a fitness watch, but everything else (and even that) is so uncomfortable. Plus I've lost a couple rings due to sweaty hands, they're just not for me.
Lovely top
Yes please link!
Yes I've been loving your hair!!! And makeup ♥️
Thanks Audrey. That was extremely helpful. It's unusually hot in British Columbia right now so these tips are really timely.
Great tips, thank you so much for sharing! I love so many of your outfits, just lovely.
Thank you Audrey. Great video. Remain blessed xxx
Excellent video. I love linen!
You are always so lovely. Thank you for your tips.❤
The look book in the video is fantastic and the top that you're wearing is so gorgeous. Agree with everything. It gets really hot here in India and those are the best tips.
Love the differentiation of spring/ summer dressing. They are so different!
Spring and Fall are my favorites as well. 1:49 I need that entire outfit in my life! Love everything about it. Please provide details! As always, love your videos and advice.
Wonderful video, as always. I love your white blouse. Gorgeous!
I recently invested in a couple white linen tops (1. t shirt that goes with everything and 2. long sleeved button up that is great to bring along and put over a sleeveless top or dress). For athletic clothing (I teach pilates and make fitness videos) I find it worth the extra to buy clothes with "anti-stink" silver technology. It really works!!! Thank you Audrey once again. I always look forward to your videos. 💕
Beautiful outfit!
Your curly hair is so good!
I need to live where you are! I'm in NYC and the only season I'm confident styling is summer! These tips are great; some I follow, some hadn't occurred to me! I look forward to your transition from summer to fall to winter video, that's my biggest challenge!
Thank you. Beautiful pieces.
I live in very hot and humid Florida! Great tips that work!
Oh Audrey! I love your look in this video. Unfortunately the polyester thing happens a lot even higher end / price points… really annoying when you see a lovely summer dress and it’s composed of polyester! Thanks for your advice as always! Xx
Again Audrey, you nailed it! Thank you for inspiring us with your lovely presentation of voice and photos! When visiting Kenya, I learned from my sisters to wear maxi dresses. This still is just as cool and catches the breeze plus in the evening you can simply wrap your legs when sitting to avoid pesky mosquito bites! 😉 thank you again for your summer tips and enjoy the season

Excellent video ! Great tips 😊
Agree 100% with you about embracing the curly texture of my hair (FINALLY) after so so many years of trying to straighten my curls!! It took the pandemic for me to accept the curls and work with them!! Thank you for your videos .... I really enjoy your style tips and beautiful scenery!!
As someone who lives in a tropical country, cotton and linen are lifesavers.
Thank you for your videos. They're so interesting! You look absolutely beautiful in that outfit!!!
Love your blouse - so pretty on you!
Love this video, you look great in those shorts 😍😍😍
Thank you Audrey👌💐
I don't know how I stumbled into your videos but I'm glad I did💫
Your videos are informative, thanks for that Ma'am 💗
Thank you for sharing
I also have moved to a hotter and more humid climate, which really keeps me indoors during the summer months.
I actually feel more alive during the cooler weather as I tend to perspire more than the most individuals.
My hair gets really frizzy and bigger too, with the humidity. So an updo is a must. Honestly, most of the time I put it up in a pony tail just for running errands; and I try to do most of my errands after sunset.
Hello👋Thank you for the tips of summer dresses.I enjoyed your channel and your beautiful voice
make me relaxing😌Have a great day🌻
I love espadrille in the summer 🌸🤍xoxo
Yes! I'm from the desert and this is definitely the way to dress to stay cool in the summer. I'd also add to be careful when buying dresses. . sometimes even fairly nice brands will sew polyester lining or a slip into a 100% cotton dress. Oof!
Great video! 👌🏻😁💕
Summer is my least favorite season, mostly because it does get really hot & humid where I live. I've recently come to the conclusion that I need to incorporate lighter items into my summer wardrobe (fabric & color), so this video is perfect!
I live in South Florida. Hats are essential if I know I'll be running a lot of errands in the middle of the day.
I love your outfit...white and rosa just looks very beautiful on you
I live someplace that is EXTREMELY hot and dry and while this might sound crazy, one of my favorite summer outfits involves a long sleeve shirt with shorts. The sun in the summer is so intense and while sunscreen is great, many people forget to reapply it often or wear it on a daily basis. I like wearing long sleeves to protect my arms from sun exposure and, since I live in a dry climate, as long as I choose a natural fiber they’re pretty comfortable. I think the shorts balance the outfit nicely (plus, sun exposure on my legs is rarely an issue).
I partially gave up on clothes shopping and picked up sewing instead. It was so frustrating to find clothes that fit well and are made of season-appropriate fabrics. I'm currently working on my first ever pair or linen summer shorts.
Dresses are key here in Texas. I like tie dye cotton in summer.
Rayon is much nicer for me then linen. I find linen hot and uncomfortable. Cotton is perfect for summer and Rayon.
Beautiful top! As is the little blue and white dress. Links please 😊😊
Spot on!!
Thanks from Texas 🤠
I am enjoying your videos. I live in Florida and wish your videos really went deeper along with links to purchase
Hey Audrey!
Will you make a video about how to dress stylishly whilst pregnant?! I would greatly appreciate your insights!
At 77 years young I’ve enjoyed following you. I find myself obsessed over your beautiful tops, blouses and dresses that are elbow length. Sadly in the past year or so, although thin, it’s my arms that I can’t bear to show any longer outside of around my home. At 5’3 with a short torso I’ve found it very difficult to find tops beyond simple tees that are stylish to wear in warmer weather. Where do you find yours? I particularly like the square neckline styles you have both in dresses and tops but they are all beautiful.
I'm also curious!
While I prefer natural fibers for other reasons your point about polyester is totally wrong. It is not like putting a plastic bag on, notice how professional sportsmen do not wear cotton anymore? Modern polyester fabrics are well designed for the heat, they wick away the sweat and are very breathable, while cotton absorbs all the moisture and impedes your body's ability to cool down through evaporating sweat. You may not like polyester and that's totally ok, but the best sportswear is made of it.
I think individuals' comfort in polyester clothing may vary with their body chemistry. A couple of years ago I bought 2 "wicking" golf shirts (from two different companies), and had to give them away. Even in the winter they made me sweat non-stop, and the smell...just, no. I also had this problem with one tightly-woven rayon blouse. Clearly this is not an issue for the athletes you mentioned, but at least some of us do have this reaction to even the newer synthetics.
Sport polyester and fashion polyester either have slightly different blends or a different weave. I find both get stinky quick compared to natural fabrics and cause acne quickly, but sport fabrics can be a great option for some people if it works with their job/lifestyle/fashion sense.
The stench of polyester after a few wearings never comes out, nope. The best fabric for running shirts, imo (I regularly run half-marathons) is . . . .wool. Yep, wool. 100% merino, light-weight, almost tissue-weight wool. It does not hold water, it cools, it breathes and it doesn't hold body odor until after years and years of hard wear. (It never hold body odor unless worn for heavy running.) IceBreaker brand merino wool running shirts is all I will wear. They are pricey, wait for a sale or get them on Sierra trading post if you can. I love so many polyester designs but just have to stick with their shorts or tights (InkNBurn, I'm looking at you, love you, but can't wear your tops!)
@@kimberlyperrotis8962 there are many materials that can be called plastic but that does not mean they are all the same and certainly a weaved fabric is not a plastic garbage bag. And what do you mean by "they can't cool you or dry you because of their chemical composition". I'm a chemist with a PhD, from my research perspective I'm really interested what you mean here, because that statement is not quite clear.
