FAQs

How do you dress simple in summer? ›

Choose lightweight and breathable fabrics like cotton or bamboo. Opt for light colors like white or pastel shades for a fresh summer look. Pair your T-Shirt with Shorts for a casual look or dress them up with a pair of chinos for a more sophisticated look.

Wear looser, lighter clothes.

Edit fabrics first by choosing lightweight cotton, linen, rayon (also called viscose but made from wood pulp) and modal (a type of rayon) or their blends. Stick to styles that breathe too. On the OK list: breezy sundresses, pumped up midi dresses, and skirts and shirtdresses that billow.

Wear Clothing that Hangs Slightly off Your Body

Woven fabrics or those with some texture, and a looser fit, usually do a good job. Clothing that does cling to your body will soak up sweat and then stay close to your skin, which will amplify the discomfort.

We should wear cotton clothes and light coloured clothes in summers. Cotton is a good absorber of water. Since we sweat a lot in summers, cotton clothes absorb sweat from our body and exposes the sweat to the atmosphere, making its evaporation faster.

From roomy trousers to palazzo pants, flowy bottoms sweep the length of your legs without sticking to skin – a must in the summer heat and humidity! Tuck in a body-fitted top to balance the draped bottoms, or if you want to look casual, wear a buttoned top half-tucked.

Crochet tops are super on-trend this summer. The open construction and easy, retro look make a crochet tank flow effortlessly with any outfit. Because these tops are so lightweight and breezy, they're perfect for a day at the beach or a pool party.

For durability, versatility and pure comfort, it's hard to beat the breezy sophistication of breathable fabrics like cotton, linen and chambray. Lightweight blends are a perfect base for a minimalist wardrobe for a 65-year-old woman. Beyond comfort, these textiles have a beautiful drape and flow on the body.

How to look classy at 50? ›

If you've found yourself wondering, “What makes a woman look frumpy?” It's wearing oversized, baggy, sloppy clothes. Say goodbye to the days of drowning in fabric and open yourself up to owning your shape. Let go of any and all pieces that don't fit you.

Get at least 8 hours of sleep and wash your hair when it gets dirty to look refreshed. Maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet and exercising. Curl your eyelashes and apply white eyeliner on your waterline to look bright and awake. Then, apply moisturizer to keep your skin glowing and radiant.

Find sleek silhouettes and neutral colors for a sophisticated or elegant look. Instead of focusing on prints, you might wear black, navy, or white dresses cut into form-fitting shapes. Tailored blazers, statement jewelry, and gold accessories can create a powerful appearance.

Wearing a patterned dress or a patterned skirt, etc, is another way you can help make your outfit stand out. Basic essential pieces don't look as good when not used as base layers for funkier additions (in our humble opinion) so whip out the patterned dresses this summer.

Building a wardrobe of timeless and high-quality basics is essential for simple but stylish dressing. Invest in well-made pieces like a classic white button-down shirt, a pair of well-fitting jeans, a tailored blazer, and a little black dress. These versatile staples serve as the foundation for numerous chic outfits.

Follow some simple rules, such as choosing the right size, enhancing your figure and choosing colours that look best on you. And don't forget to go through your wardrobe regularly, removing clothes that no longer fit you well and making small changes to improve your overall appearance.
