Texas summers are no joke. The temperature goes from 75 to 105, real quick. But, just because the heat makes you feel like you’re melting, doesn’t mean you can’t look cute in the middle of it all. Lather the sunscreen, stock up on the deodorant, and dress to impress in the summer sun.

The Color
Summer is the time to add color and tropical vibes to your otherwise neutral wardrobe. This is your moment to shine.

The Sun Block
We aren’t talking about SPF here. We’re talking about the hat and sunglasses fashion statement. Think of it as a multiuse investment for sun protection and style.

The Accessory
There’s nothing worse than lacking a place to carry all the things. Okay, cue the dramatics, but really being prepared with a bag to hold the necessities is important. Thus, make it a priority to find a functional and beautiful bag, whether it be a carryall tote or the oh-so-trendy belt bag, aka a fanny pack for 2018.

The Two-Piece
Stick to lightweight, airy top-and-bottom sets and you’ll be feeling cool, both in temperature and attitude. These two-piece ensembles take the stress out of not knowing what to wear and turn it into an easy choice that looks great.
