It's a Literal Hot Girl Summer—9 Outfit Ideas That Look and Feel Refreshing
It's really hot in New York—like "crank up your AC and embrace that nearly all of your outdoor activities will leave you in a pool of sweat" hot.
While the temperatures keep on climbing, though, it can be hard to put together a good outfit. Jeans in this weather? Forget about it. Thankfully, our feeds have been inundated with a slew of outfits that will make you feel extra cool this season, literally and figuratively.
Opt for lightweight materials like linen and cotton this summer, and pick up flowy silhouettes and garments that'll give you a nice breeze rather than stick to your body. If you're feeling bold, you can even wear a bikini as a top around the city—it's practically the uniform of choice for the cool Lower East Side crowd.
If you're itching to wear something that'll leave you feeling better than you ever would have thought, look no further than these nine sweatproof summer outfits perfect for warm weather. Shop the can't-miss styles and outfit ideas below.
