I feel like you could also style your hairs with a ponitail since it's for a hot day.
I would have done belt or a light shirt even if cropped, that had light sleeves. Especially the kind you could pull off the shoulders. It hides sweaty arm areas..... Lol but love it!
i've been wearing exlusively long black skirts for summer for the past two years and i feel vindicated by this video. truly long skirts are the ultimate summer garment
Yes, they are! 😊
I guess you meant validated instead of vindicated
@@zin6730I guess one could argue that is a loose definition of the word vindicated. It means to free from allegation or blame, prove to be right, to provide justification or defense for, to protect from attack.
For example: My friend mocked me for taking an umbrella but I was vindicated when there was an unexpected downpour
Trueee , tho mine is a bit heavy but it's so f comfortable
A black maxi dress is also good
In all my years of life, there is nothing better than a flowy cotton skirt/dress. 🖤
Right! Especially a long one, so you only have to shave the shins lol
So true!
Linen is also great for this. A friend recently gifted me flowy linen tanks, blouses, beachcombers, and dresses. I like them as much or more as my previous cotton favorites. 😊
I spent 20 years working Ren faire and so many people Didn't understand how I could wear so many swingy skirts? They Create their Own Breeze! They Were So Cool! One Day I left my costume in someone's car, and had to wear Denim Shorts and a t-shirt, Oh what a mistake! Half way through the day I went down with heat stroke. The Only time it ever happened! Show us a Long Sleeve Summer Look!!
May I add that long skirts and sleeves are excellent sunscreen... That is another thing that we forget about.
Fellow Renfaire employee here and you're absolutely right! Not to mention we wear LOTS of cotton and linen which are both way more breathable than a lot of the poly blends available out there. Even lightweight wool is good at wicking away sweat in the summertime!
I'm this close to converting my whole wardrobe to medievalcore because renn faire garb is so comfortable in summertime!
The layers also help keeping your body temperature stable if they're made from the right material (cotton, silk, linen). I hate sounding like an old grump, but people nowadays don't have a clue how to dress for hot (or cold for that matter) weather.
@@Mhidraum true, but even a thin and breezy (and white!) long sleeved shirt felt too hot in these days. I prefer thin and large cotton tank tops
I sometimes wear and make historical clothing as a hobby, and my recommendation for keeping the heat out is linen in layers. Wearing layers doesn't just isolate from cold in winter, it can also keep your temperature stable in the heat. I've worn 4-5 layers of 18th century dress, petticoats, and stays (mostly made from linen), and was perfectly comfortable while others were sweating in their single layer of poly-cotton dress.
Wow! Fascinating - I’ll try that. Thanks for the tip. 😊👍
exactly. I always have to tell people this when I'm at ren Faire or with friends/fam.
"aren't you hot?"
"no"
it's all about natural fibers. and covering skin
Yeah polyester is basically just plastic so it doesn't allow for as good ventilation and sweat absorption. Why I also hate chiffon clothing in the summer - yes it's pretty but it also means that everything's sticky and the sweat just builds up on yourself, and it's more likely to get irreparable tears
Anything with polyester will melt me in summer and it feels nasty to wear as well, all scratchy
The historical fashion community is a lifesaver, tbh. I've replaced my bras with a corset made of 100% cotton fabrics, and try as the Texas heat might, I'm not sweating *near* as much anymore. Long live natural fibers.
Why is it that we as women have the worst summers dealing wiyh swampy bum and sweaty boobage! This is so genius to help combat them both! Summer = 100 % cotton undies and wicking bras! Love you Andrea 🖤🖤🖤
Well...men tend to stink more, when they sweat, so I'd call it even 😅
Take from someone who spent years living in the Australian desert AND tropics: Best hot weather outfit is always a short, linen blend, pinafore/overall style romper with a crop top!
No waistband + open sides = HEAPS of airflow, and the fact that it's shorts instead of a skirt eliminates thigh chaffing without the need for another heavy layer underneath. Perfection!
That skirt is beautiful!
Would also recommend a light hat with wide rim: cast a shadow around your body
Also: get a fan! (The wavy kind, not the electric, tho get both) create your own refreshing breeze, get a fun color to match outfit
Love from the Caribbean, where we all melting at the moment 🥵
There are also necklace fans, for those who are in such heat that they're willing to sacrifice the fashionable nature of handheld fans for the ability to essentially direct air conditioning right at your face. I get mine as O2Cool (name?) two-packs at less than 10 bucks per fan. That has saved me in El Salvador, together with a hand towel dipped in water around my neck and shoulders if it gets really bad.
@@tejaswomanI saw someone with something like that at a rave, I thought it was genius!
That's why I live in dresses and sandals throughout the summer ! They can have their shorts.
I live part time in Florida. The summer heat is brutal. I find flowy loose fitting dresses to be the coolest thing to wear. Nothing around my waist to make me hot. Just slip on a dress, some sandals, maybe some jewelry and go. Long breezy flowy skirts are great too but I'm too old for crop tops. So I have a couple of loose tops made with eyelet. It's amazing how cooling they are because when you walk the air flows through the eyelets and creates a lovely breeze.
I appreciate your strategies for staying cool and stylish. ❤
My mom loves eyelet tops for summer too👍🏽
how do you live part time
Thanks for turning me on to eyelet tops! I’m too fat and covered in dark stretch marks for crop tops. Every time I see Andrea use them, I simultaneously admire her fashion sense and long for my wasted youth while crying inside. 😅😭
My entire body gets swampy. You look fantastic!
It's the first summer where I don't feel highly dysphoric about my arms so this is basically my summer uniform
I wish I had the confidence to wear my arms out. I got out of bed from COVID and now I have flabby upper arms😮
NOT GOOD😲
You mean “dysmorphic”? Because “dysphoric” isn’t a real word 😂
@@spicytaker Except it is...
@@spicytaker Dysphoric is a real word, but I do agree that dysmorphic may fit better here
@spicyseliph Dysphoric: To be experiencing Dysphoria, defined as 'Very unhappy, uneasy, or dissatisfied' (Via Merriam-Webster), opposite of 'euphoric' - If you're going to correct someone, Google it first
Aline skirts are the best in summer!! I have a linen black dress with a slit up the side which I love to wear in summer with a singlet top as I'm too old to wear a crop top nowadays lol...🤣😅👍 linen lessons the persperation factors too! Natural materials & fibres tend to not make you sweat as much.
Wish I could wear something like this confidently, because it’s the kind of style I feel like I was developing in high school but got bullied out of. I also can’t bring myself to wear crop tops at all because no matter what my body’s like, I never feel like I have a flat enough stomach for it. *sigh*
I struggle in similar ways. I wonder if looking at photos of plus sized women in summer outfits would be inspiring. Just remember, confidence is the best fashion accessory.
I prefer more coverage to keep me protected from the sun and thus keep cool. The best fashion tip though is to swap whatever you wesr to your favourite swimwear and hop into the pool😂
Try linen shirts, I recently bought one out of desperation in the middle of a very hot day when my cotton T-shirt was practically melting on me. I must admit I only tested it in the afternoon so I can't guarantee it's so much better, but it was still hot imho and it was in fact very nice. I think linen is more breathable than cotton. It's also more expensive, but if you need it, then you need it.
I still need to buy a few more, but the sizing nowadays is so wild, it's as if designers thought all small size people were 400 pounds four feet (200 kg 1.40m or something) dwarves. I get it's "the look" now but please adjust the shape to a small size person a bit more, I guarantee a "'found a huge man's shirt and cut off half of the length' look" is not what you had in mind... (I did buy an oversized one since they were the only ones available, but there is a difference between fashionably oversize and "have you ever seen a human?" shaped clothes...
I’m so glad you mentioned swamp ass and I feel so much better knowing it’s not just a me problem 😂
I would totally wear that airy white shirt dress to go out, it will protect the shoulders from a sunburn👍🏽
I absolutely love the fact that she gives great fashion advice, and makes me laugh at the same time! I am so glad you came across my feed, Andrea! 👍👍👍👍👍😄😄😄
I live in Cyprus so it's vital to cover myself from the sun and keep it light. I usually wear a white linen maxi skirt or beige viscose trousers, plus a strappy top and a white/ very pale unbuttoned spacious shirt on top which is linen or cotton. Excellent ventilation and coverage system!
I also weal a colourful silk haori instead of a shirg and a silky blue wrap maxi skirt with a bow to spice things up
I just got a long flowy skirt and a cute cotton shirt. I look like I came out of the 1900s but at least I'm protected from the giant space ball of fire 😂
I had a dental appt today and they said to me how are you and I said fine just trying to avoid the big ball of fire in the sky! 😂 we think alike.
I bought a super comfy cotton dress and I was worried that it wouldn't look nice enough for work. But I wore it anyway because it was 90 degrees and it basically felt like pajamas. All my coworkers complimented me and said I looked super fancy, so I bought the other three colors 😂 Comfy girl summer here I come!
I really appreciate it when you give specifics like suggesting the cuts (like the A-line skirt) and reminding us that black helps hide perspiration patches.
But by far, I think the punky/piratey outfits are the loveliest.
My go to outfit. I'm wearing a breezy maxi skirt, crop top, and sandals right now. 😊
Texas and it’s gonna be in the nineties and hundreds. This grandma is a bit too chunky to do crop tops, but I have loads of gauze maxi skirts and cotton tanks to wear. Plus I only wear cotton bras and undies. Nylon and poly aren’t good for women’s hidey parts. Plus a breezy kimono is always a good thing to cover with because I can’t wear things with synthetic chemicals in sunscreens . Umbrellas ☂️ , straw hats 👒 and layers. Ask the Bedouin’s. They live in layers, lots of layers in desert 🏜️ climates. Drink lots of water 💦.
You my dear are the sweetest. Love watching your videos.
We're in a heatwave in the UK so we are hotter than the South of France currently. It seems that the mid nineties + is becoming more normal where I am in the UK, I'm in the South East. Where as these temperatures used to be once every few years! I have met Bedouins, wonderful people, very welcoming. I was in Tunisia and we got to look round one of their cave homes, the government in the 80s/90s decided that people living in caves was a bad look imternationally so they built all these cheap houses and made them move. They soon moved back as their caves are warmer than the houses in winter (their winters aren't cold by our standards) and much cooler in summer as they have an open air section with rooms off of it. They even have satellite TV in their caves! I visited in 2001 and loved it, unfortunately it's considered a bit too unstable to visit now. The hotel I stayed in was attacked by a terrorist shooting people on the beach and he went into the hotel. Staff saved a lot of people that day. Last time I saw the beautiful interior on television all the furniture was covered and the marble on the walls showed the scars of the bullets. So sad as that was a 5* plus hotel and being Tunisia super cheap for what you got. The people there are wonderful and unlike other Muslim countries the women don't have to wear a hijab and can get divorced etc... so it's a more modern country. Where did you meet Bedouins?
@@shendisackett I met Bedouins on one of my trips to Israel. They had huge tents covered in black. I also think I remember them working in the hotels on Sabbath in Jerusalem. I could be mistaken, but I think that’s what I was told. Not sure where in Israel because we were all over the country, but we were in the wilderness several times. I’m thinking the Negev. It’s been twenty two years and my memory isn’t what it used to be.
“No swampy bumm! No sweaty boobage” 😅👏🏻❤️ I love your videos so damn much ❤️😂❤️
“LET’S DO IT!!!” 🤘🏼
I bet you could style that white dress like 30 different ways though to make a cute summer outfit 😎
I’d love to see a video like that, actually.
Summer can be a difficult time for those of us who don’t like to dress in a way that reveals much, so styling some more conservative summer outfits, like that white dress, would be appreciated! 😊
My thoughts exactly!
" Good ventilation system" 😅 I love it!
Personally, my go-to when its so hot in Montreal, are those large/ short- cut black pants, looking classy but not "too much" ! 😅. , with large shirt on it , a hat and a very aery scarf ( side way cape style, hiding my arms from the burning sun ) in case the a.c. is too strong where I go!
L
My escape from the heat is largely about picking the right fabrics! I try to go for very thin silk and viscose, because those can feel very cooling, and as for the items themselves, I go for oversized, short sleeve shirts, and then either very loose breezy pants or shorts. This setup also allows for great air circulation, and because of the thin sleek fabric, it barely feels like I’m wearing anything : ) (silk is quite an expensive fiber and hard to produce, so of course I prefer to thrift it)
I'm long past the days of crop tops omg lol nooo so I've taken to buying slightly oversized shirts that button up the front and knotting them at the waist and wearing them over a pretty tank or camisole. I've got some great necklaces that fill in the neckline. You can go for "magpie" tanks and pretty fabrics for the shirt to up the dressy level
Another note is to try to wear natural fibers like cotton as theyre more breathable! Although its hard to be picky about fabrics these days as most affordable clothing is polyester (plastic)
It's really getting out of hand. I've seen so many nice, lightweight summer dresses and skirts...but so much is made from polyester!
And they aren't even cheaper then before, oh no. They're trying to sell us clothes for the same or even higher prices, but made from inferior material.
I'm seriously considering getting back into sewing, even though it's a huge time commitment. But decent quality, affordable (and I don't mean cheap, but reasonably priced) clothes are so hard to come by, these days.
@@raraavis7782exactly and I won't buy that, who wants to wear plastic in this ridiculous heat? It can be so disappointing to find something that looks great but then you realise it's plastic. I had a lucky find in what is classed as a cheaper high street store in the UK, New Look, they had a bright pink cotton (from the better cotton initiative so not from Chinese forced labour) shirt with eyelets all over it flower patterns, it was made in India. The edge of each eyelet is embroidered in the same coloured thread So it was more expensive than their usual fast fashion but I know I will wear it for years to come.
I love your videos you make me laugh and your style is gorgeous. Also you use such creative funny words boobage 🤣
Boobage is actually a normal slang word in the UK! Although we don't normally name our belts 😅. I love Andrea, she is so creative with her outfits and always looks amazing in them. Her words though are usually normal for us here, I should imagine I'd find slang terms in your country funny and peculiar. I always think Australians come up with the best slang words of all, theirs are usually funny or sweary or both depending on your view and we also share some common slang terms.
Ahaa makes sense good to know thank you. I love it. I'm from South Africa and definitely we also have some interesting saying things. I agree Australians also have such funny and interesting saying things! Yes it's very unique to name your belts 🤣
So funny and so stylish! 🎉
My favorite hot weather outfit is a midi wrap skirt and crop top or tank. It's perfect
Wide leg pants made of light weight material are my 'go to', matched with a short sleeve (or no sleeve) light weight cotton top. Sandals, of course. Hair pulled up. Nothing around my neck - no collar, no necklace, no scarf unless it is to tie up my hair. And body powder sprinkled lightly into the undergarmets to absorb some of the swamp.
From an Angeleno: add a big ol floppy (looser weave) straw hat! Straw allows the breeze through, you can hide ice cubes under the hat, and the shade is a lifesaver. I also personally add a thin, billowy, long-sleeved 100% cotton or real silk kaftan or "kimono" over the skirt and crop top. WIll it look slightly Biblical? Yes. Will it create its own breezes, wick sweat, and help mitigate sunburn? YES.
Couldn't agree more. Straw or sun hats, sun-umbrellas, lightweight, longsleeved cotton or linen shirts for additional coverage... couldn't survive summer without!
Love the ice cubes under the hat tip! Maybe a gel pack or frozen washcloth instead. Why didn't I ever think of that? I always wear my big straw hat outside. TFS
“No sweaty boobage”
Me with my DDD’s literally developing new ecosystems down there:
I don't think I can pull off a top that cropped, but I am going to be wearing the heck out that skirt this summer!
This is good ❤
Here I sit with my crop top and super thin material shorts watching this video trying to get through this heat. ☀️
OMIGODDD....how I LOVE your fashion offerings..! ❤
Dunnes Stores ( a chain of Irish Department stores) has started stocking lovely linen and cotton maxy dresses and skirts in the last few summers. I now own several shirt dresses and maxi dresses that can be dressed up with belts etc, but are so cool, breezy and pretty to wear
This is the video I’ve been waiting for - how to avoid swamp bum!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
I love skirts like that! So fun and swishy. I just wish I knew where I could find more. I don't seem many like that at the stores around me and online shopping is kinda daunting
Sweaty anything is a no go. Glad for the stylish ventilation tips
This is literally me all summer long.
Breathable fabric is a must when you get humidititties as soon as you step out into the sun.
Crop tops are a no-go for me because of modesty reasons. But I thrifted a Madewell 100% cotton tank top that basically had vents instead of regular seams. It is brilliant because it keeps me covered but also lets a breeze in. I wish there were more of them like this!
why is a crop top worse than a tank top? actually wondering. is your belly button holy?
@@Sputterbugz Not everyone wants to have their stomach exposed, not that it's bad for some people to want to but also others should have the choice and comfort of not wanting to either
To each their own, but if you're interested in trying out crop tops, pair them with high waisted skirts or pants. You can also try wearing a camisole underneath.
long skirts/dresses are the best. I'm lazy, sweaty, and haven't shaved my legs in a week but with a long skirt no one can tell AND it still looks like I tried to look nice 😂
I'm always seeking ways to wear black in summer without dying of heat stroke so thanks for this lol
It's very good 💯
Another amazing video!! Love you and Thank you, Andrea!!!
"Swampy bum" 😂😂😂 Andrea I love your videos! You're so funny!
can vow for it. been a pants girl my whole life, decided to buy a black cotton maxi skirt on last year's spring and it was one of the best decisions of my life lmao
I just adore you, Andrea. Thank you for always bringing a smile to my face. Bisous 😘
My childhood was a British rock follower. Currently I'm 50 years, but grow with British bands, a german time when capitols wore Bonn and Berlin in my musical taste with Depeche Mode The cure, to Ramstein (yes, a twisted taste that I enjoy back @ 90's changes) something that really help me growth mentally speaking, as well as cultural respectful.
Greetings from Baja California México ❤ I love your ideas and what's you share with your followers.
444k subscribers!! Woo Hoo…you GO girl. I wore black yesterday and really went back and forth about it. Great tips!! XO
“swampy bum”
Tellin’ it like it is…
Ohhhhh, I ❤️🔥 you! 🤣
Black cotton type dress, oversized shirt and sandles for me or trainers when needed. Sunhat, when I remember it, to finish it off as a look. I love my black summer dress. Light and flowy. Perfect.
Back up is shorts, sandles/trainers and a vest top with a flowy long sleeved top over it.
I usually don't follow fashion TH-cam channel, but when I came across your channel, I binge watched your videos. I like your sense of humour, energy and styles. You look beautiful and stylish in every video. I subscribed.😊
I love your delivery and styles, thank you so much❤
Yup!! Yup!! Yup!!! Easy breezy, cute & still feel like you are in jammies - wins all around!! 🥰
I adore you. Seriously. Your personality and the way you talk and dress. So freaking cute and stylish!!! ❤Not to mention the fact you have a black cat. I LOVE black cats so much. My heart is happy from your beautiful content
Not, you're melting everything that's anywhere close to you with all that 🔥 🔥 🔥 ma'am!
I love longer skirts in the summer, ones that have volume, like a broomstick skirt or a tiered skirt. If it is full enough, you can tuck up the hem to get some air under.
Andrea!!! Girl, you are SO SILLY! I mean Good Silly! Also stylish and helpful! thanks😊
Swampy bum 🤣🤣🤣 I do love your videos, Andrea!
Rosalinde ist der Hammer, I'll buy it immediately 😊 Thank you for the inspirations, Andrea🌈
I love your words... boobage, and swampy bum are now going into my vocabulary. 😂❤
I'm in Florida..Summer hasn't begun its already 89°, and feels like 100°
Long skirts or maxi dresses ALL THE WAY!!
Whenever we do tourist stuff and are outside a lot, I am in a maxi dress! And broad-brim hat, and super comfy cushy sandals. I feel much more stylish than in sneakers and jean shorts that bind. …and I am MUCH cooler in that breathable dress. Ahhh.
P.S. bring along a mini umbrella in your purse and use it as a parasol if you need. yes.
This is perfect. I hate the heat!
I will defenitly wear it! 😍
"No swampy bum. No sweaty boobage." 😂😂😂 You are hilariously original. Love your content! Keep up the good work!
Awesome summer outfit for the coming heatwave! 🌞
YOU make my day!!
I love that skirt !!❤❤
I LOVE THAT SKIRT!! I NEED that skirt!! 😍😍
I would love to see some summer outfits with long sleeves and long skirts. I hate sunscreen but I burn in like 10mins out here in Australia 😅
It's all about the material and not the color. Everyone asks me how I wear black and I try to make sure the material is thin or breathable. I have some blouses that are light pink or beige but they are hot cause of the material it's made from. I live in Texas so even in the winters it's hot
New subscriber, I watched one of your short videos and was hooked, but especially when I read your community post about your sweet, darling fur baby Maurice. Thank you for sharing and I will be binging on your videos this weekend.
Your videos are great!! Thank you so much for all of the excellent style advice!! P.S. Your furry friends are absolutely precious!!
You are such an under rated creator Andrea! Best fashion TH-camr out there imho!
I just adore this girl! She's so smart, funny, and incredibly cute. Keep up the good work Andrea! You are helping us to be more stylish while raising our spirits in this grim, dark time. 💐
Love it!
But love kitty more! So cute!🐈⬛
I love all your style tips. I’ve learned so much from you.
I did this before even watching Andrea's video! Omg I DO have style!! 😆 But really, this looks gorgeous on you Andrea and really works well in the summer heat.
🤣 💜 god I'm so grateful I found your channel 💖🙏
I live in an area that has a high incident of skin cancer because of the relentless sun. Light, gauzy blouses with long, floaty sleeves are comfortable and protect our skin. The biggest fashion accessory is sunscreen.
I'm into harem pants right now. They're great for summer & I live in Arizona!
You so funny & get tips. You are a great pet mom. 💕
Thank you for introducing me to the word boobage. I will use it from now on till forever.
What a sweet Kitty cat!❤
I’ve been gathering the courage to rock a crop top. They look so cute and comfortable. And I love the way you say “good”. 🥰
Andrea is so hilarious and stylish. I love her outfits. Thanks for your effort.
Amazing
My go to outfit for Australian Summers is usually long pants and most of my shirts are black too. Some of them are coloured though, and most of my pants are pretty light lol
I'm a 30 yo man and don't have any interest in fashion whatsoever, yet I'm here looking at your videos for past hour and it and I like it
Lol thats why i don’t wear skirts and dresses… but i do want to. Il’ll give it a try
Swampy bottom!!! I almost died here!!! 😂
I would wear that all the time. So cute! I relate to the swampy bum and sweaty boobage. 😂 I'm so ready for fall.
