Oh Lordy this heat… what do people wear?

[HoneyButterPopcorn]

Sweat trickling into my knickers, hair dripping wet… I’m seeing loads of women wearing long black silky skirts - that can’t be cool, can it?

What does everyone wear when it just gets so hot (and they have to commute - works is pretty chilled about what you wear).

Im just a big old sweaty mess…🥵

Yes, the mistake so many people make is bearing their flesh. That just means the sun can penetrate it directly and you get much hotter. Far better to cover up with loose natural fabrics.

Today, a straight fitted cotton dress, bare legs, block heels. cotton undies

This evening, a long loose linen skirt, a loose very thin cotton top and ballet flats..

Later, for sleeping, very light cotton shorts and a cotton vest. No bed coverings.

Just move slower, avoid carbs and sugar, drink lots of plain water,

Yes this! I wear (unlined) silk dresses to work. I have a selection from Jaki London and Yacco Maricard. They cover a multitude of sins but still look quite smart/chic. They’re loose fitting (but well cut) and suitably wafty. Just have to avoid them if it’s too windy outside.

I used to live/work in Hong Kong and have to look smart for work in 38 degrees and 98% humidity so I’m well practiced at warm weather work dressing. I don’t miss those days of make-up running down your face due to the humidity.

I’m living in my Daughters of India dresses.

Jeez @BreadInCaptivity, we got you the first 6 times. 7 identical posts is a bit much. 😂

The thinnest most flowy dress I had today. Not sure about tomorrow, I’ve worn all my cool cotton dresses this week and I don’t think the pits will survive a re-wear.

Urgh, I’m so sticky.

At home, almost exclusively wafty strappy maxi dresses but too seethrough and braless for out and about. In public, cotton or linen wide cropped pyjama style pants and some kind of basic tee shaped top but no stretch, and very oversized.

Frozen flannels - I’m going to steal that idea 😊

I feel like silk will look scruffy after 2 mins from water or suncream marks?

This is my favourite at the moment

I wish I had more like it.

I’d love to sit around in just my pants.

I know! Sorry no idea what happened! Reported myself to MNHQ to delete the excess posts 🤣.

Honestly am not on commission!! Just love the dresses but didn’t intend to spam the thread!

Long summer dresses. That’s all folks 😀! No bra (apart from at work), no knix!

Floats strappy dress with no bra

Long cotton floaty dress.

Cotton culottes and a linen shirt.

I'm on the English side of the Scottish border, we have had weeks of rain. Today is the first day it has been hot so accordingly I have dug out my linen dress and now I'm in seersucker pjs in front of a fan. We'll all be moaning tomorrow and by Saturday praying for rain because it's "Good for the garden" . We feel safe when it's raining up here in the north.

Humidity I agree is why it is so unpleasant.

Long cotton or linen dresses! I see a lot of people out in black too and was planning on wearing light black leggings and a cotton top but even that was too hot so I changed into a nice big airy dress.

stuff I wore on holiday last week and when I have been to work it’s been sleeveless tops and baggy trousers. It’s really not panic stations in the heat. How do you all cope on holiday?🙄
