Woman in Blue & White with Sunglasses

How to Stay Cool, Covered, and Effortlessly Chic All Summer

There is an art to staying cool when the sun is blazing, and it isn't about wearing as little as possible. The secret the most put-together women know is light layering. A breezy coverup over your swimsuit, a flowy kimono thrown over a simple tank, a sheer lightweight long-sleeve that keeps the sun off your shoulders without making you overheat. You stay protected, you stay comfortable, and you look pulled together while doing it.

Your skin will thank you, too. All that gorgeous summer sun is lovely, but it adds up, and a little light coverage goes a long way toward keeping you comfortable and protected through a long day outside. Pair your layers with a good sunscreen and a great pair of sunglasses, and you have got the whole look handled. Sunnies aren't just the finishing touch on an outfit, they are doing real work protecting your eyes, so consider this your friendly nudge to find a pair you love.

Right now our racks are full of exactly these pieces. Lightweight coverups, kimonos in pretty prints, airy tops that drape just right. Take a scroll and see what speaks to you. Summer style that keeps you cool is the easiest kind to fall in love with.
