It's getting hot in here ...

So take off all your grey clothes.

Seriously. That's what you should do if you are wearing grey in the summer.

When dressing for the heat, there are certain items to stay away from. Not all fabrics are created equal and neither are our glands. What works for models in a catalog when it's typically still freezing cold outside will not necessarily work for you when it's actually hot out ...

The color grey.
I actually own a few grey tops. I love them. I would recommend grey for you too probably. Just not ever as pants. Why? Well read this and then you'll know why.

During the sweltering days of summer I would also recommend not wearing grey tops. Because I don't care how little you sweat, we all sweat some and pit stains at work or in general is not stylish.

Satin.
Read above about the aforementioned pit stains. Satin in heat is a disaster. The fabric loves to cling to your curves. Which is why satin and satin fabrics are wonderful. Flaunt your body ladies! But satin in summer is a swampy, pitty mess. Stear. Clear.

Let's end on a positive note, shall we ...
Fabrics I LOVE for summer:
100% cotton/cotton blends - easy, breezy, comfy and classic.
Linen - new linen fabrics are SO easy to care for. Gone are the days of dry clean only or hand wash after clipping your nails to less than 1 cm before care ... No mas. Thank gah!
Anything with some Spandex in it - cause we all want to accentuate what our Momma's gave us - but not be super uncomfortable during the dog days of summer.
