We’re fully in the thick of the dog days of summer and every year I assume DC is breaking heat-related records because it’s always miserable out in August. You’d have thought growing up in Texas would make me more tolerant of the high temperatures but I’m the biggest wuss right now!
While I’ve been mostly commuting in workout clothes (I prefer to walk to and from work everyday but it’s about two miles in each direction which isn’t great when it’s this hot…so I take the bus, but sometimes it doesn’t show up so I like to be prepared in athletic clothes if I do have to walk!), there have been a few summer pieces I’ve reached for over and over again due to the breathability and ability to go with anything when I just want to prioritize feeling cool over looking cute. My office dress code is casual so luckily I can wear these there, too, but they get worn just as much on the weekends as they do during the week. Most items are under $100 and I’ll note that I didn’t include any dresses here because I have a few and rotate through them pretty consistently! These are just the items I’ve notably been reaching for continuously–they really deserve their own post!
Everlane Cotton V-Neck Tee
I’m wearing this shirt right now (with these shorts in white–which honestly should probably have been on this list but I’ve been wearing the denim ones mentioned below a little more this summer) and sized up to a large. You can see it in this outfit post! I love that it’s 100% cotton and doesn’t cling if you size up. Plus, it comes in so many colors. At $18, the price is great and per usual with Everlane, the quality is notably good!
