For a backyard BBQ

When the vibe is cool and casual, but the temperature is sweltering and uncomfortable, you might think that the more skin you bare the better. Au contraire! You can keep from burning up without baring all. Opt for an item in a loose, breathable silhouette (like this wide-legged jumpsuit). When you keep fabric from clinging to your body, you keep sweat from pooling. Additionally, try to find pieces where you can customize the fit -- wrap dresses, tie-straps, drawstring pants, etc. When you create space and make the fit looser, you prevent a constricting, sweat-inducing situation.

For work

For the office, it can be tricky to find a loose-fitting or skin-baring silhouette that’s also professional. The key here is to focus on fabrics like linen or lyocell, which absorb and release (or wick) moisture.

For a summer wedding

Just because the invitation says formal doesn’t mean you have to assume you’ll be uncomfortable and sweating all night. For ladies, opt for a swingy dress in a lightweight fabric. Men might have to be a little more creative with their suiting choices, so read labels and check out new technologies for lightweight or wicking fabrics.
