Here's What to Wear in 80-Degree Weather
One of the few pitfalls of glorious warm weather is the conundrum of how to feel stylish while staying temperately comfortable. After all, when the weather reaches 80 degrees and upward, there are few articles of clothing that actually feel nice to wear (linen, shorts, swimsuits—you get the picture). As we steer into the scorching summer months, we're making the conscious decision to do it with several stylish outfits in mind that will not only be quick and easy to assemble but will also keep us cool.
We turned to some of our favorite women in fashion for ideas on how to pull off a strong look in hot temps, and what we found was a slew of effortless ensembles that you likely already have in your closet. From a floral dress and sandals to the open-back blouse you need ASAP, scroll down to see and shop these 10 imitable looks for 80-degree weather.
There is perhaps no more summery pairing than blue denim and a gingham print. If it gets too hot for the jacket, tie it around your waist.
Need to keep it professional without sweating obscenely? Tuck a tank into a midi skirt and accessorize with a pair of mules.
Opt for a blouse with a little built-in air conditioning, if you will.
Do your best athleisure moment and wear a sports bra with some lived-in overalls.
Go sleeve-free with a simple white tank and bright pants.
When it's hot, the less your clothes cling on to you, the better. That's why we suggest a baggy graphic tee and roomy slacks.
Show off your midriff with a quick knot around your T-shirt.
It doesn't get more effortless than this.
Cinch your outerwear around your waist during the day and toss it on at night.
Headed to the office? Tuck a reworked shirt into a denim midi skirt.
