Flowy Favourites:The Best High Street Pieces To Keep You Cool In The Heatwave
From cotton tops to swishy midi skirts, these are the cutest pieces that help you stay cool (and look cool) on a budget from Dorothy Perkins.
With our window wide open and our desk fans on full blast, we ask: is there any release from this excruciating heat? Well, we’re not powerful enough to influence the weather, but we can offer other forms of relief.
In times of sweaty impediment, there is always salvation in style. Although, in this sweltering weather, the thought of putting on skinny jeans or a jumper makes us feel woozy, we thankfully have other, more liberating options. The types of clothes ideal for this time of year is something that lets us lift our arms in peace, and without fear of patch marked perspiration - that means heavy fabrics and tight sleeves are a no-go.
For guaranteed sartorial comfort in the summertime, looser clothes are the best shout. Midi skirts, skater dresses, camisoles and cotton tops are just the kind of killer heatwave attire to need - and they’re all available in Dorothy Perkins’s super hot sale. Meaning, not only can you dress great, but you can look cool on a budget all season long as well. Here are some of our flowy favourites that will help you get through summer, and won’t break the bank.
Dorothy Perkins
Womens Vila Beige Paperbag Midi Skirt - Cream, Cream
£17.00
Although miniskirts can trick us into seeming sweat-proof due to their lack of material, a lot of the time the tightness around the upper thighs just traps the heat, making us more uncomfortable in the summer. Instead, go for a lighter fabric flowy skirt in a trending polka dot print, or for something neutral, pick out a beige cotton paper bag skirt.
Dorothy Perkins
Womens Yellow Floral Print Midi Dress- Yellow, Yellow
£17.50
This season, Dorothy Perkins midi dresses are doing floral better than anyone on the high street. Not only do the botanics show us the epitome of summer, but the flowy feel of the dresses will be well-suited for the high temps.
Dorothy Perkins
Womens Ivory Horn Button Cropped Trousers - White, White
£10.80
Same concept as the skirts above, but offers a buffer between the legs to act as a barrier for sweat. What’s not to love? Just keep your colour choice light and your fabric even lighter.
Dorothy Perkins
Womens Black Polka Dot Print Square Neck Top, Black
£7.00
Of course, we require the same level of flowy fabulousness on top as we do for our bottoms. Pair a scarf print halter top with a neutral cotton midi skirt for a fashion forward outfit that lets you float around freely on the hottest of summer days, or opt for a square neckline and puff sleeve option to liven up your denim.
