The summer months are coming (sooner or later, right?), and who doesn't enjoy walking
down the beach with a cool summer breeze blowing? But sometimes, we lose
this joy, because of our modest outfits. They can be so hot and sticky.
But they don't have to be! When choosing your clothes, there are
specific things to look for to keep cool.
#1: Forget the leggings.
Leggings
are like adding another layer of skin, and therefore insulation. Great
in the winter, but forget about it in the summer months. Even if you are
usually accustomed to wearing leggings, they just aren't a good idea in
the summer.
#2: Wear light colors.
Time
to pack away the dark green, blues, blacks, and purples! Instead,
embrace lavender, pinks, reds, yellow, oranges, and lights greens.
Pastels are a great choice too.
#3: Skirt Length.
Unless
you feel it is necessary to always wear full skirts, wear shorter ones.
Now, obviously don't go for a miniskirt, but wear something between
knee-length, and mid-calf. (Of course, if you are going to be outside
all day and it is windy, something longer might be better.)
#4: Material.
Some
materials are better than others for keeping cool. Cotton, polyester,
rayon, silk and others are great for keeping cool. Materials to avoid
are fleece, felt, wool and other heavy or tight knit fabrics.
Once
you get the hang of it, dressing modestly to stay cool is easy! I hope
these simple steps will help you on the quest to stay modest.
