Cool Tips for Hot Weather
Already feeling hot and bothered by the unexpected heatwave? Just a few quick ideas to keep you looking cool in the hot spell.
Tips for Men
• NO short sleeve shirts with ties - just not stylish, don't do it
• Make smart fabric choices. Synthetic clothes will make you sweat more so choose natural fabics on very hot days
• Need inspiration for how to dress this summer - watch Jude Law in Talented Mr Riply for inspiration. Slim clothing lines, rolled up jeans, suede loafer style shoes with no socks for the weekend. How about a chic straw trilby style hat too.
• How about trying some white or stone coloured jeans for a change?.
Tips for Women
• Make make-up stay put. Use powder over your foundation to avoid a shiny face or try a mineral powder foundation - I love Elizabeth Arden
• Use waterproof mascara on your lower lashes to avoid panda eyes at midday - e.l.f. do a great dual ended mascara with regular and waterproof for just £1.50
• Open toes shoes - make sure your toes and feet are pretty and manicured. Trendy trotters are painted in pastel lilacs, blues and greens this summer.
• Start using gradual self tanners to give you a light base tan for exposing bare legs. I like Johnsons Holiday Sun
• Maxi dresses cover all and there are shapes and colours for all body types, try one...yes even if you are short - take a peek in Monsoon or H&M for more budget options
• Huge Flower corsages are back in - pin on your handbag or top to update it.
• Need inspiration for how to dress this summer: Sex and the CIty out next week - need I say more!
