I Refuse to Wear Anything But These 8 Pieces When It's Over 90 Degrees
There's always that turning point in summer when it goes from 75° and sunny (and carrying a light cardigan "just in case" is entirely acceptable) to 90° and sweaty. Well, that point is here, and I can't say I'm not a little bummed about it. At this phase of summer, my outfits revolve less around the trends I'd like to wear and more, if not entirely, around the weather.
Since I grew up in Arizona, where it's not uncommon to see temps in the 100s, I've had years of trial and error when it comes to dressing for really hot days… lots and lots of error. Now that I have this whole hot-day-dressing thing down, it's only fair I share my practical picks with all of you. There are eight specific items I rely on for over 90° weather to create my summer outfits. Oh, and you won't sacrifice on style one bit—that you can trust me with.
Cotton Dresses
Cotton is known for being breathable, so when I'm shopping for dresses midsummer, I make sure they're primarily made from this fabric. Maxis, midis, and minis are all on my approved list.
Ribbed Tanks
Any sleeveless top is an obvious choice for warm weather, but ribbed tanks are it for me this year. They're on-trend, easy to style, and the perfect backdrop for my favorite necklaces.
Linen Bottoms
Linen is light and breathable, making it one of the most practical summer fabrics for any style of apparel. I particularly gravitate toward linen shorts and pants for when I want to walk around without worrying about feeling sticky and uncomfortable.
Camp Shirts
Camp shirts naturally have an oversize shape, making them the perfect loose top for hot days. I like to wear mine over a bikini, as seen here, or tucked into denim shorts. You really can't go wrong either way.
Denim Shorts
Jeans are my love language, but I simply won't bear the discomfort of wearing them in hot weather. Denim shorts, however, are a big yes. They look just as cool with all of my favorite tops, including the ones in this story, but won't cause unbearable sweat down my legs. (If you know, you know.)
Oversizse T-Shirts
I don't need to tell you that T-shirts make great basics year-round. However, in the summer, I exclusively wear oversize versions. The looser fit means the fabric won't cling to your skin when it's hot and humid out. Sometimes I buy regular tees in a size up, but I find the options that actually come in a boxier fit are ideal.
Cropped Cardigans
Button-down cardigans have been a trend for several seasons now, with cropped versions reigning supreme for warmer weather. They're cute and comfortable—just make sure to choose lightweight fabrics. Wool is not your friend this time of year.
Biker Shorts
Leggings are simply not an option for me when it's over 90° (or even 80° honestly), so it's biker shorts all the way when I'm looking for an athleisure look. I love sweat-wicking options for working out and ribbed cotton ones for just hanging out at home.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
