Stay stylish and cool: the best clothing for hot summer days

The temperature is finally rising, and that can only mean one thing: time to bring out your summer wardrobe. Finding the perfect outfit during hot days can be a real challenge. Our closets are often filled with items for all seasons, which makes it tempting to grab the most breathable pieces we can find. However, these aren’t always appropriate for every occasion.

The key? Striking a balance between comfort, functionality, and style. In this blog, we’ll highlight the best clothing items to wear during summer, from breathable fabrics to versatile basics. That way, you’ll stay cool and fashionable, no matter how high the temperature climbs.

Slip dresses

The slip dress is a classic, providing elegance while still being minimalistic. This style has enjoyed newfound popularity in the past few years, and it's not going anywhere. The slip dress is defined by its spaghetti straps: thin, delicate shoulder straps that offer support while maintaining a minimal and refined appearance. They can be found in a range of different lengths, from mini to maxi. A longer style like the Qutara Dress is especially versatile, making this dress fit for both work and evening wear.

This dress typically features a loosely draped, yet slightly fitted silhouette. It's often made from breathable materials, helping to avoid any feeling of discomfort or constriction. The slip dress is at its most iconic when crafted from satin weave fabrics, but it also works beautifully with other lightweight materials, as seen in the Taran Dress. This version is made from comfortable travel fabric, offering extra freedom of movement and ease of wear.

Shirt dresses

Shirt dresses are making a strong comeback this summer, and it’s easy to see why. They’re lightweight, breathable, and effortlessly stylish, striking the perfect balance between casual comfort and refined elegance. Our high summer collection features several standout shirt dresses that belong in every warm-weather wardrobe.

The Sumiye dress, crafted from wrinkle-resistant travel fabric, is ideal for busy days in the sun. It’s stretch-friendly, easy to wear, and perfect for an on-the-go lifestyle. For a more natural, laid-back look, the Lomitsy dress in airy linen is a timeless choice, perfect for poolside lounging or casual summer outings.

Linen

Linen is the ultimate summer fabric and for good reason. It has been used for over 30,000 years and remains just as popular today. Made from the flax plant, which requires minimal water and chemicals to grow, linen is a naturally eco-friendly choice.

It feels light and breathable against the skin, making it ideal for hot days. Linen allows air to flow freely, helps regulate body temperature, and dries quickly, preventing sweat from soaking into the fabric. It's also incredibly strong and durable, meaning your linen pieces will last for years. As a bonus, linen becomes softer and more comfortable with every wear and wash. It can be worn on its own, but items like the Elwy Top can also be layered when the temperature drops. Linen pants, such as the Hirsako Pants, provide coverage against the sun without being suffocating. This summer, our linen styles are available in four timeless shades: Navy Blue, Raf Blue, Black, and Olive, easy to mix and match with anything in your wardrobe.

Summer  Jackets

Consistently nice temperatures are up ahead, but the weather can still switch at any moment. A jacket is perfect for those days when you’re stuck between a cool and a warm outfit. It can easily be removed or put back on if the situation calls for it. Even when the summer is over, wearing a jacket ensures that you can keep wearing your favourite tops and dresses. It also protects your skin, and keeps the covered area cool. 

Besides its practicality, a jacket can also provide a stylish touch to your outfit. A tailored blazer like the Myki Jacket. is comfortable, but also versatile enough for any occasion. It's lightly fitted, still leaving some room without looking oversized.
