Tip 7: Lay on your bed and wait for September 😂😂😂
Jokes aside, I follow all these tips except for the light colors because I don't look good in them... I still suffer because I can't stand hot Kisses from Italy 👋🏻👋🏻

A general tip is to fill a water bottle half way and freeze it, then fill it all the way with water and bring it when you go outside. It stays cold a lot longer than plain cold water, and you dont get little ice cubes to choke on. Also dont forget a big hat to protect your head from sun, i burned my scalp where the hair is parted recently :(

I'm from Costa Rica. Right now I'm living in one of the hottest places of Costa Rica. Just let that sink in :)
I can't even step outside between 10am and 3pm on a sunny day. It's crazy. And it's not just 3 months. During half of the year, it just rains a little more in the afternoons... But it's always hotter than it should be possible.
My favorite food tips are: Drink as much as you can, bonus points if it's fresh coconut water, eat all the fruits, get minerals (vegetables are the best). If you don't get enough vitamins and minerals, you will not absorb water, no matter how much you drink. Eat less fatty foods and more fiber as well.
About clothes, well, skirts. Come on. Nothing breathes as well as a skirt :) And if you are going outside, consider wearing white long sleeve shirts. Those are my favorite type of garment because they cover you from the sun, and if it's the right fabric, it's going to be as fresh as carrying a sunshade around. Long sleeve bright shirts also look great with skirts, you can mix and match forever!
Less makeup is always better. Lip balm to avoid chapped lips, with a slight hint of a fruit or flower. However, if your lips are breaking, you need to hydrate. Eating an orange would probably beat the lip balm.

I would add don't wear padded bras. Some of us still need a bra in the summer. Go for unpadded as the foam soaks up the sweat. I have lace which helps skin breath. Sports bras come in cotton and withstand a daily wash.

And sunscreen people, don’t go out without it! 🌞

Anyone who says fashion isn’t a science obviously hasn’t seen this channel.👌🏽

Justine you are so sweet..but I just hate the summer season. I am crossing out the days in the calendar until dear darling Autumn arrives. Thank you for the tips, but my tip is if there are more people like me...to go summernate..is that a word ? As opposed to ibernate. Stay in, lower your shades, stay cool and let it all pass till the temperature starts to go down.;)

Hi Justine! Your videos completely changed the way I dress and "see" clothes.

[SweetStuffOnMonarchLane]

3:48 "...then you're building a greenhouse for your legs." Hilarious!!! I burst out laughing!!! And the look on your face! Omg!

[milenakury]

As a brazilian, I agree with everything in this video. Regarding makeup, I usually use a light powder just to keep the shine away from my face and always one that has sun protection. As I worked in a lab, I HAD to use jeans (or any thick trousers) to protect my legs, so It was a torture and I sweated a lot! But I still prefer hot than very cold weather :)

[claireesummers]

I'm a woman 'of a certain age' so the tip about wearing prints is very welcome. Thank you

[laidikirsta]

Thank you for this very useful video! I'm from Sweden, and for us, normal summer weather is 20-25 degrees and goes from the beginning of June to end of August. If we're lucky. Now we've had 25-35 degrees since early May, and no rain! Hello global warming... So the whole population is in chock, both over all the forest fires and in literal, physical heat shock. I don't understand how you from warmer countries stand it!
My salvation this period has been to get a colourful, foldable mini umbrella to use as a parasol. I always have it in my bag, and it's fantastic! So much better than a hat. It keeps more of me in the shade than a hat, I don't get a warm, sweaty head, I can wear my hair however I like, and I don't have the problem of where to put the hat when I'm in a café/restaurant or when it gets dark. I really recommend it!
Another tip I have is about wearing skirts/dresses when you have thighs that rub together, and it's too warm for leggings. Because the pain that can cause is unbelievable. So put a lot of talc on the insides of your thighs, and bring a small jar of it so you can apply more during the day. I actually always put some talc in my armpits after my deodorant has dried, it makes me feel a lot less sweaty. Old-school, but effective. :)

I love how your videos are mostly basics and useful for everyone no matter their style. Coming from a country where it's 40 degrees for over four months a year. I'm glad you made this video.

You are so right regarding avoiding the sun. I was on vacation in Nantucket with one of my friends (who's French) and she insisted on going to the beach. Once we were there, I nagged her to leave telling her over and over again laying on the beach was not good for the skin. What I didn't tell her is that her skin looked 10 years older than her age. Long story short, she emailed me months latter after she had returned to France to tell me she had skin cancer!

[sharischmidt]

Enjoyed 😊
I live in Ontario Canada and we're having a very hot, humid and sunny summer and all you're tips are very true 😊
The only thing that I would add is applying sunscreen to yourself several times a day, if you are in the sun. Skin cancer is on the rise around the world and in Canada, we're in the top five countries affected.

My summer favorite is a loose, thin, sleeveless cotton dress and sandals. Very easy!

[virginiamarian]

walking under the shade...its true! I live in Madrid (now rising to 40ºC) and you can see tourists walking under the sun...so bad and dangerous. I wear a hat for the moments that i cant avoid the sun but always look for a shade A.S.A.P. hahaha

[Em-bvoo]

Sleeveless work blouses have been a godsend this past month.

[AniMerci]

Excellent video, Justine. For me, summer is a sweaty, smelly season, and I don’t like looking at other people’s feet. Can’t wait for cool weather and jacket season!

[MsFrewtloop]

I think a long sleeved white muslin or fine linen shirt/blouse is a lovely summer wardrobe staple because it not only keeps the sun off but is modest and stylish too. You don't need to flash the flesh to look summery or chic.
