Tips to stay cool and stylish this summer!

 As I write, the UK along with much of Europe is experiencing a heatwave. We have had temperatures of up to 40 degrees some days and its taking some getting used to! How can we look stylish yet stay cool?

Read on for a few tips which I hope will help!

• Hair accessories are your friends in the heat. Try hairbands, colourful hairslides and silk scarves to keep hair off your face and neck.

• Wear natural, breathable materials as much as possible such as linen, silk and cotton

• Wear loose fitting pieces and remember white and pale colours reflect the sun, darker colours soak it up!

• Covering up can in fact keep you cooler than exposing too much skin try a long sleeved dress, floaty top, baggy shirt

• Keep a little water spray in your bag and spray onto wrists and pulse points when you feel yourself overheating

• Keep outfits simple and unfussy for example wear minimal jewellery , comfortable flats or wedges.

• Finally take it slow! Don’t rush around - everything can wait!
