Stay Cool in the Top 5 Essential Summer Dresses for 2011




With summer almost upon us, it?謒?time to start thinking about your wardrobe for the warm weather and how best to solve the dilemma of looking stylish while also managing to stay cool. There are many factors involved in a dress stopping you from feeling too warm. The material it is made from is important, as thick materials may cause you to overheat, while others may absorb sweat and moisture from your body, making you feel sticky and uncomfortable. The cut and size of the dress are also key, although somewhat counter-intuitively, some larger dresses are actually amongst the best at helping you stay cool. Shoulder dresses are an excellent way to stay cool and refreshed and have the undeniable sense of summer about them. Style can vary considerably, with some only supported by one shoulder, leaving the other bare to catch the sun while still looking stylish and classy. Others, often known as drape shoulder dresses, hang a little looser from both shoulders and help to give a light, breezy and ethereal feel. The maxi dress has been the big fashion success of the last few years and its popularity looks unlikely to decline any time soon. Despite its length and coverage, which many mistakenly believe makes them feel warmer, the fact that they are looser and keep more of the body covered from the sun actually make them excellent for guarding against the worst of the heat. Dresses made from breathable cotton are cooler still and are an ideal choice for those heading off on sun holidays. Where maxi dresses keep the wearer cool by covering the body, lace dresses take the opposite approach ??the thin lace with its many gaps and meshes allow air to touch the skin much more directly, providing a cooling affect. They are well suited to warm evenings where their extravagance will seem a bit less out of place. Vintage dresses are another excellent choice and often provide the right combination of coverage, breathability and looseness, while still looking fantastic. This season, dresses based on the late 1950s and early 1960s are especially popular. Many are made from white material, reflecting the style of the times, which helps to reflect more sunlight and keep you cool. There should always be room in any woman?謒?summer wardrobe for the classic cotton sundress, a simple yet stylish garment that has been staple summer wear for millions of women for many years. Summer dresses like this borrow much from the design of vintage dresses and use cotton and generous neck and hemlines to help you stay cool. Isla Campbell writes for a digital marketing agency.
