Summer Wear

As the summer months get nearer the weather starts to warm up. As we all know, hand in hand with warm weather comes skimpy clothing. The stores start selling more short shorts, spaghetti strap shirts, and other such skin exposing items, and consequently people start to wear less and less.This makes sense, right? When the heat comes, people feel more inclined to bare all in the name of “cooling off”. Even those of us who strive to dress modestly, at times feel like we would feel so much cooler if we could only wear those spaghetti straps or short shorts. I know I do, at least.

 

How do we manage to be modest and yet stay cool at the same time? For bottoms, I have an easy answer for us girls. Skirts. Lightweight cotton skirts are fabulous for the summer. I personally find them to be even cooler than shorts! Summery skirts can be dressed up or down, so they are great for nearly every occasion. Tops are a bit trickier. Most tank tops are iffy and t-shirts can at times be too warm. Tanks like this are better, because while they show the shoulder (making them cooler), they aren’t exposing a lot of skin otherwise (making them more modest).

Keeping both cool and modest in the summer is a daunting task. But with a little effort, and a few well chosen pieces, it is definitely possible!
