Whether you live in a warm climate year round or you are just
trying to survive summer’s heat till autumn’s cool arrive the
following quick and easy professional style tips will keep you
cool and have you looking professionally chic in any heat.
Wardrobe
Select fabrics that are natural / man-made blends that consist
of at least 51% natural fiber, such has a 55% cotton 45%
polyester blend. This will give you the coolness of a natural
fabric without the wrinkles. Choose jackets with ¾ sleeves. They
are cooler than full sleeves and more professional looking than
short sleeves. Light and bright colors works well in warm
weather but do not use loud bold color combinations and prints.
Dress in layers to adjust to the high heat outside / air
conditioning inside temperature changes you will experience. A ¾
sleeve jacket over a sleeveless shell or a summer twin set is
are excellent solutions for temperature changes. A cool
alternative to pantyhose are thigh – highs they allow air to
circulate better then pantyhose and will keep you cooler. Wear
slightly larger jewelry it will give you a more polished look.
Instead of a simple pendant on a chain try a triple strand of
pearls. Avoid plunging necklines, extremely short hemlines,
sheer fabrics, cloth handbags and briefcases, open toe shoes,
sandals and flip flops.
Make - Up
Opt for a lighter make-up routine. Heavy make-up in high heat
can clog pores and lead to breakouts. Before applying your
makeup rub an ice cube over your face. It will help makeup last
longer and prevent smudging. Use waterproof cosmetics. After
applying your makeup brush your face with face powder it will
set your makeup and prevent shine.
Hair
Wear your hair in a simple flattering yet professional style.
Hair grows faster in warmer months so be sure to have your hair
trimmed every 4 to 6 weeks. With hot weather comes limp and
frizzy hair. To correct this problem use only hair products
designed specifically to treat your hair type and problem. If
you pull your hair back be sure to use only quality accessories.
Avoid using plastic clips and rubber bands they will detract
from your professional image
