Breathable Summer Layers

The summer season is always the hardest to create interesting looks due to the heat. Layers are a crucial part of the creative process, so for us stylish people who see dressing as a way of art, the heat eliminates a lot of our fun. This is why breathable, chic jackets like this Elliot Embroidered Utility Jacket by Rails is the bomb-dot-com.

This jacket can be worn throughout the whole year and its lightweight material allows it to be worn as a shirt too, plus the olive color pairs well with all denim and neutrals. This chic top by Merritt Charles is a must have if you don’t mind side slits. However, the slits make the top SUPER breathable which is always a plus for the mid summer heat.

These J. Brand jeans are ideal to pair with side slit tops, because if you’re anything like me, the last thing you want to show is a sneak peek of those sexy love handles. These jeans are high waisted and hold everything in- and voilà- no workout was even necessary.

Hope everyone is enjoying the first few official days of summer. I know mine has started out differently than expected, but that’s what life is all about. You just keep going forward and always do what’s best for you. Until next time.

Always be kind,
