Best Clothes for Hot Weather and Humidity

May 7, 2021

Hello, hello! Gosh, I can’t believe that it’s already May. I feel like this year is flying by in comparison to this time last year when the whole country went into lock-down. Thankfully, with positive news about the vaccine roll out, more people can safely make travel plans to warmer destinations this summer!

With imminent travel plans on the horizon, do you know what to wear for hot weather and humidity?

This Florida gal has got you covered with the ultimate guide to packing the best clothes for hot weather and humidity.

If you are headed on a beach vacation in the near future then you need to check out this list of the best clothes for hot weather. From comfortable shorts to my favorite style of tops, these are all examples of what to wear right now as the seasons only get hotter!

1. Linen Shorts

One of my favorite places to shop for new linen shorts is at Old Navy. Most recently I picked up a pair of neutral linen shorts as well as a striped pair. My striped linen shorts were part of a major sale and were only $12! So far I’ve been styling my linen shorts with basic tan and white tank tops.

2. Flowy Cotton Dresses

My summer wardrobe always includes a rotation of flowy cotton dresses. A few places where I’ve been collecting new dresses to wear for the Summer include Walmart, Target, and American Eagle.

Cotton dresses are important for hot weather because they are made from such a breathable and lightweight fabric. Of course, with so many places transitioning into a new season, there are soooo many cute dresses to buy.

3. Neutral Bodysuits

Upon placing an order at Abercrombie, I ended up completely loving a ribbed halter bodysuit. The one I’m wearing in the image below is a crossback halter bodysuit in a neutral beige tone.

Best Neutral Bodysuits

The bodysuits at Abercrombie are worth the investment! Most of them are affordable at under $40, too.

Whether you pick a ribbed bodysuit or a soft microfiber one, you can’t go wrong with a neutral color to mix and match with. For me, I ordered my true size for this neutral bodysuit and it fit me well.

4. Chambray

Looking for another lightweight fabric to wear this summer? Why not opt for a chambray style like the ones I am wearing in the try-on pictures below.

The first dress is something I grabbed for a recent Old Navy Haul for YouTube and the second chambray dress comes from H&M.

5. Light Colors

Keep the uncomfortable heat at bay by wearing only light colors from May until August. A few of my favorite light colors to wear are white, green, blue, pink, and other bright pastel shades.

    […] Linen is one of the best fabrics for summer because it’s lightweight, breathable, and absorbs moisture. Linen shorts are a versatile and chic option that you can pair with a variety of tops, from floral tunics to crisp button-ups. You can also accessorize them with a straw hat, a crossbody bag, and some platform heels for a casual yet polished look1.
