While staying indoors, snuggled up to the AC, may seem tempting, the ultimate goal should be to be where? Outside! Staying cool and stylish can be tricky, but it doesn&#8217;t have to be. Even though melanin provides some natural sun protection, we still need to be mindful of excessive sun and heat exposure. But don&#8217;t sweat it. We&#8217;ve got seven tips to help you beat the heat in style and look cool all Summer! (But don&#8217;t forget your <a href=\"https:\/\/blackhealthmatters.com\/?s=sunscreen\">sunscreen<\/a>!)<\/p>\n<h3>1. Breathe Again: Go with Breathable Fabrics<\/h3>\n<p>Natural fabrics like cotton, linen, and bamboo are great because they are breathable fibers that allow air to circulate, letting your skin breathe and keeping you cool and comfortable all day.<\/p>\n<p>Cotton is soft and breathable, while linen is super airy. Think breezy maxi dresses and loose, oversized tops from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madewell.com\/\">Madewell<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bananarepublic.gap.com\/\">Banana Republic<\/a> for eye-catching silhouettes that are equally cool on the body and the budget.<\/p>\n<p>Care tip: Fine linens range from lightweight to heavyweight, with quality linens having a more substantial weight and drape. Check the care labels, as some linen styles may require hand washing or dry cleaning.<\/p>\n<h3>2) Loosen Up: Wear Loose-Fitting Clothes<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to put those skinny jeans away (you can always come back to them in the Fall). Tight clothes trap heat, making you feel hotter, but loose-fitting ones allow air to circulate, keeping you cooler.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anthropologie.com\/dresses\">Anthropologie<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zara.com\/us\/en\/woman-dresses-l1066.html\">Zara<\/a> are favorites for their collections of fabulous, flowy dresses and comfy yet flattering trousers\u2014perfect for summer BBQs or picnics in the park.&gt;<\/p>\n<h3>3) Stay Sun Smart with UPF Clothing &amp; Accessories<\/h3>\n<p>Clothing and accessories with a high UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) protect the skin from harmful UV rays, reducing the risk of sunburn and skin cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Most of us are familiar with UV-blocking sunglasses, but brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopbop.com\/outskirt-shortie-eleven-by-venus\/vp\/v=1\/1512440189.htm?extid=affprg_linkshare_SB-J84DHJLQkR4&amp;cvosrc=affiliate.linkshare.J84DHJLQkR4&amp;affuid=6928828428&amp;sharedid=42352&amp;subid1=J84DHJLQkR4-dL5jPx3HGLi368t8zyl3uQ\">Eleven by Venus Williams<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/athleta.gap.com\/browse\/product.do?pid=830714032&amp;vid=1&amp;searchText=SPF#pdp-page-content\">Athleta<\/a> feature stylish pieces like casual tanks, skirts, and dresses to shield you from harmful UV rays.
