Some useful advice for those who are away from home all day
We know it! Being around all day, especially if it is very hot, is not ideal for arriving at the end of the day as fresh as roses!
But with a few small tricks, you can prolong the feeling of freshness you get when you leave the house for a little longer. Let's see which ones:
- Take a nice warm shower in the morning and use a body lotion to moisturize and perfume the skin. In this way you will have a pleasant feeling of cleanliness for a good part of the day.If you sweat a lot, use talcum powder in the areas most prone to sweating: armpits, feet, inner thighs, under the breasts etc. A good natural deodorant is also recommended, odorless like that with rock alum which, moreover, leaves no traces on clothes! Buy it on Amazon for € 5.90
- Watch out for shoes! Choose comfortable and light shoes for your summer days. Do not overdo it with heels and if you choose closed shoes, make sure that they let the sweat transpire. In the summer, our extremities tend to swell and narrow shoes can become a real limitation in your day, not to mention that they would make your gait awkward, compromising your elegance.
- Healthy but not perfect hair! Big beach waves are also very trendy in the city and you don't need heat to recreate them! Do you really want to light irons and plates when it's 40 degrees outside? Moisturize your hair when you wash it, to prevent the sun from drying it too much and not to worry too much about styling: a bun or a side braid and you will be perfectly in order without effort.
- If you too, while walking, have that annoying problem of the thighs that rub against each other and get irritated when you wear a dress, here is the solution to your problem: the bandelettes! Hold-up bands (very sexy among other things) that limit rubbing and save your walks and your confident stride. Posture is everything!
If you prefer to apply an effective product, instead of wearing the bandelettes, we recommend a special dry oil spray.
Buy the anti-friction spray on Amazon for € 17.89
You'll see: these little tricks will make the crazy heat much more manageable!
Here are the 6 must-have items and accessories for an elegant and refined look that will make you feel perfect all day:
1.The white dress
Lightweight, comfortable, elegant. Enhance your tan and immediately give you the feeling of being on holiday in Santorini! Versatile and chic, play it down with espadrilles and choose the model that best highlights your figure.
The only rule: pay attention to the fabric.
All the garments that we offer you in this selection are in natural and / or breathable fabrics.
People dressed well, in fact, always give the impression of being at ease and not suffering too much from the heat. This is because they choose a few pieces of excellent quality, preferably in natural fabrics that adapt to our body, letting it breathe.
Our proposal is a 100% cotton dress from Vila, elegant and versatile.
2. Unmissable lines
The striped pattern has the magical power to catapult you into the summer atmosphere!
The lines remind us of the sea, the beach, the smell of salt and the color of the sand!
Choose them horizontally for a perfect sailor style, like the 100% cotton one by Only on Asos for € 13.99. If you want to look a little taller and more slender, instead, go for vertical stripes. rayon, which like viscose, is a fabric derived from cellulose, similar to silk, which allows the skin to breathe, caressing it delicately.
3. The long patterned dress
Without a colorful dress, it's never really summer.
With flowers, stripes, polka dots, the important thing is that it is comfortable and fresh.
Midi or maxi, a real life saver that cannot be missing in your summer wardrobe, perfect for going from the office to the aperitif on the beach!
In the summer we tend to be uncovered for the heat, but in reality even a long dress (if of quality) will act as a barrier to the scorching sun, making you feel fresher!
Here is a viscose model, with side slits, light as a feather:
4. White T-shirt
A must in all seasons, more than ever in summer!
It will be the real lifesaver on the hottest days.
Wear it with the most colorful pants and skirts, with jeans, under a slip dress, with paperbag shorts, in short: as you want! Choose white because it is easier to match, does not reveal sweat marks and reflects the sun's rays, so that you feel less hot!
That's why you'll need more than one.
We suggest you buy a multipack of 3 cotton t-shirts (maybe you can leave one in the office, for emergencies) like the one from Berydale on Amazon for € 16.95
5. Comfortable trousers in natural fabrics
If the idea of wearing jeans, in the heat, repulses you and you don't like shorts, here is the perfect solution!
A pair of basic trousers in a linen and cotton blend to combine with a silk top or croptop.
Our choice falls on a paperbag model, a trend of 2019.
55% linen and 45% cotton.
Straw accessories
Last but not least, the accessories! The trend of the summer, as we already know, are straw bags, by the sea but also in the city! Among a thousand models and uses, dare with these boho chic-inspired accessories for a fabulous and refined look.
Also, don't forget a nice straw hat, like the timeless Panama model, on Amazon for € 9.99!
