Lazy Days

Somedays you just want to dress for yourself and be comfortable. It's summer in Philadelphia, which means rising temperatures and high humidity. With that said, it can get quite uncomfortable being outside for too long, especially dressed in the wrong fabrics. Denim starts to feel like second skin, polyester can feel suffocating, and not to mention silks! I try to avoid that distressed feeling by wearing relevant summer clothing. Relaxed and light, are my summer key words! 

When it comes to summer dressing, I want my clothes to fit me in the most awkward of ways. What I mean by that, is that I appreciate a much more relaxed fit, loose enough to create a play with shapes. Take this top for instance, the cap sleeves give the shirt a boxy shape. It also helps to prevent those bloody arm pit stains from the sweltering heat.

Pairing a boxy top with slim straight trousers instantly create a comfortable and quadratic fashion statement. Tight fitting garments just don't fare as well and once you start sweating, it shows! It also helps to wear a lot of white and light clothing, which you can bet, I'll be doing quite daily! This summer, I'm going to sweat, it's just natural. Fortunately, I can help prevent it by the wardrobe choices I create. Dear readers, I'd love to hear what your fashionable choices, to stay comfortable this summer will be!
