How to make a summer look more effective if it's too hot for layering

If you look at stylish blogging bows, then mostly interesting ensembles are built due to layering. For example, a top, a cardigan, a trench coat must be unbuttoned... But spring and early autumn are suitable for such simple solutions. In winter, all the beauty has to be hidden under a tightly buttoned down jacket. Therefore, under conditionally winter bows, you can often find ironic comments that it’s good to pose for a photo in an unbuttoned jacket, but this is completely unviable.

However, summer is not easier. If you look for stylish summer outfits, you will notice that bloggers often rely on the same layering, ignoring the thermometer. Or, for example, combine shorts with high leather boots. It looks beautiful, but unsuitable for the weather, when any extra object on the body leads to heat stroke.

In general, there is nothing wrong with just walking around in a dress or a T-shirt with shorts. But sometimes you want to look more interesting and at the same time suffer less. Here's what you can do to complicate the bow.

1. Vary colors and prints

Traditionally in the summer it is advised to wear light tonesto not be so hot. This is a worthwhile recommendation based on the laws of physics: light-colored surfaces heat up less. In addition, a white total bow can look very stylish.

But if you want to put together an image more complicated, experiment with bright colors and a combination of prints. However, not every option will be harmonious. For example, can you wear a polka dot skirt with a striped top? Yes and no, it depends on the peas and on the strip. But if the prints “make friends”, you get an ensemble that you want to consider.

Since summer sets the task of choosing only two items of clothing, then you can put all your courage and creativity into them. If you doubt your own sense of harmony, try using Itten's color wheel. It allows you to understand which shades are combined with each other according to different schemes.

Itten's color wheel is an interesting thing that can be discussed separately. Because there are different schemes according to which complementary shades are selected. But in general, you can not delve into the subtleties if you use an application - for example, ColorWheel. It itself will offer you options, it remains to choose the one that seems more harmonious.

So, on the screen above, on the left, we see a combination of colors according to the principle of the so-called analog triad. And below is the image where the girl uses two of the three colors and looks luxurious.

There are also special sites, for example color hunt, which contains ready-made palettes of several shades that combine with each other.

Not everyone likes prints, and even more so their combination. But this is not the only way to make the bow more interesting. A good strategy is to choose things with a complex cut. Here all kinds of draperies, non-standard cutouts and cuts come to the rescue, patch pockets, fringe and other decor.

And not always a thing can be initially tailored in an intricate way. For example, a node on a regular skirt A‑silhouette is also a way to add zest.

3. Wear hats and hair ornaments

We often see hats in fashion blogs, but rarely in real life. Although only hat or panama can make a minimalist look more interesting. But life makes its own adjustments. It is difficult to use this accessory in regions where it is often windy. Unless, of course, your plans do not include a dramatic run into the distance for a flying hat. Plus, although it is advised to cover your head in summer, it can be simply hot in caps and panama hats.

But in such a case there is a compromise option: tied in different ways handkerchiefs. They won’t blow off your head, and they are much better ventilated and look spectacular. You can cover your entire head or use them as a hair accessory, for example, weave them into a braid. The image will look more interesting.

Also, do not discount hairpins, headbands and other hair ornaments.

4. Use accent shoes and a bag

Obviously, eye-catching jewelry can make any look more interesting. But in the summer it is not easy to wear them. Metal on the skin in the heat can oxidize, which turns earrings and chains into a torture tool. And in general, any extra element on the body makes you feel uncomfortable.

But there are things that will be with you in any case - shoes and a bag. Often they are chosen discreet and concise, so that they fit everything. But you can buy bright, noticeable accessories. And for a specific wardrobe they can also be universal. For example, zebra-colored sandals are not so much inferior to black in terms of compatibility if we are talking about bows without prints. But they make the image brighter, even if it is simple in itself.
