Dressing For The Weather: Tips For Outdoor Style
No matter where you’re going, you’ll have to head outside to get there. That means you’ve got to dress for the weather, no matter what the forecast says, and a proper understanding of your style will allow for that. It’s not good debuting a brand new, cute outfit on a day when it’s going to be overcast, raining, and the wind will mess your hair up! And that’s something we can help with; if you need a helping hand to get started, here are some tips for refining your outdoor style.
Mild Weather, But Might Rain? Take a Scarf
Those annoying and confusing weather days are the worst for fashion! How are you supposed to dress in style but safely enough for how chilly and drizzly it’s going to get? Mild but rainy doesn’t look good on an outfit that hasn’t prepared for it.
That’s why you should keep a versatile scarf in your bag at all times. A scarf is good for keeping the chill off your neck, as well as keeping the light rain off your hair. You can also thread it through your belt loops on any trousers or shorts to add a nice flair to the outfit, or tie it round your bag, if the weather ends up behaving itself!
Wet and Windy? Add a Waterproof Layer
We all have to deal with wet and windy weather from time to time. Whether you live in a pretty stormy place or you’re on vacation, you’re going to need to layer up against the wind and the rain, unless you like that weather-swept look that some people rock!
Don’t make it difficult for yourself; pack something light and easy to take with you.
That means buying the best waterproof layer you can find from a premium outdoor clothing brand that you enjoy. A good waterproof layer keeps the worst of the both off of your, makes it far easier to keep your hair and accessories in place, and keeps the fine crease steamed into your clothes untouched too!
Sun Out All Day? Wear Cotton Based Clothing
Sunny weather leads to sweating, even if you like the heat and humidity. That’s why you should wear cotton based clothing whenever the sun is out and plans to stay out. You can mix and match your cotton pieces with equally light materials, some of which include linen and silk.
Cotton clothing tends to be lighter on the skin and it’s also made of lighter colors, both of which lead to far less ray absorption and much more reflection. Also the sweat is much harder to see, seeing as the material lets it out and doesn’t let it collect into a visible patch!
If you don’t want to worry about the weather, ironically, you’ll need to plan your outfits with it in mind. Use tips and tricks like these to get started and make sure you’re always double checking the weather app on your phone before you head out.
