August: what to wear during the hottest month

August is the hottest month of the entire summer season, the one that reminds us that summer also means daytime and nighttime heat. But it is also the month of holidays, deserted cities, time off and well-deserved relaxation, so it is time to organise the coming days in the best possible way and with style, of course.

What to wear in August

Welcome, August, and welcome, African cyclone—we are not afraid of you. No, because despite the perceived 40-degree temperatures even in the evening, we women certainly do not give up being trendy and glamorous, even in sweltering temperatures. 

But how?

It is simple: just take a few small precautions when choosing your clothes and the fabrics they are made from to look perfect even in summer. The key word? LIGHTNESS.

Whether you are about to pack your suitcase or preparing to spend August in the city, make sure you have light, flowing dresses with floral prints. Choose large straw or fabric bags for strolling through the city centre in “Roman Holiday” style.

Shoes should be strictly flat; even better, choose low rubber sandals that dry quickly in case of a walk by the sea and are truly very lightweight.

The must-have clothes for your summer 

We have already said it: the key word for this summer is lightness. Yes to flowing dresses of medium length with floral prints and soft-colour patterns. Yes also to prints featuring fruit, birds and optical lines.

It is not summer without a pair of shorts. For a glamorous August, choose denim shorts with floral embroidery, lace or pearl appliqués. Let Fracomina’s denim collection inspire you and you will feel like fully fledged It girls.

Skirts and shorts need a light and trendy pairing, and that is where tops

come in. Whether it is a crop top or a simple cotton top, do not forget to choose light, solid colours; white is perfectly fine too. If you like to be daring—and in August you should—choose tops with ruffles.

Accessories do not go on holiday either.

You know that accessories, just like clothes, can enhance your figure and your look. If you have a tan to envy, choose plenty of silver- or gold-coloured rings for your hands. Bracelets, in both versions, will also enhance your look.

If you do not particularly enjoy wearing accessories on your hands and arms in hot weather, choose large gold-coloured hoop earrings; they are a seasonal must-have.

Yes to large bags with exotic and floral prints.

As always, at the end of the article you will find my selection of fashion pieces for spending August in a trendy way too.

See you soon!
