How to Survive Wearing a Suit in the Summer Heat—like the Total Boss Lady You Are

Whether you’re a professional, an entrepreneur or just generally a boss lady, wearing a suit just might land you the job/salary/respect you so deserve. It sounds all great and dandy—how putting on a power suit can instantly empower you— but tossing on a suit in the hottest month of the summer just doesn’t sound that appealing, which begs the question: How do you style summer suits for women? Welp, I’m here to explore.

Luckily, so many of our favorite brands respect the hustle and know just how important keeping a professional appearance is for many of us in today’s world. With that being said, they’re also creating summer-friendly suits—suits that are made of lightweight material, feature shorts instead of pants, or are made up of a color palette that will totally make a splash. It’s easier to find the perfect summer suit than you thought.

For me, personally, I’m in a position where I don’t have to wear a suit (I own my own business and work from home, score!). But when I need a pick-me-up or want to feel like a straight-up boss babe, suits are always my go-to. In typical millennial fashion, I decided to dress down these suits to show how they can be easily worn to work (duh, they’re suits), to a meeting, or even to drinks after work. Scroll through to see how I’m styling summer suits.

For evenings or summer days that aren’t too hot, this suit can surely spice things up. The bold red hue instantly screams SUMMER to me because I always gravitate towards brighter colors in the sunnier months. I got a little risqué with this look by totally ditching a top and opting for a long, layered necklace instead. Popped on a fun pair of snake print sandals and some red sunnies, and I was good to go.

Pale blue has never really been my color, but after a good summer full of beach roasting, this tan made me fall deep in love with the color of this suit. While the skirt may be too short (depending on where you work), this blazer can be easily worn with a simple pair of high-waisted, tailored pants. I paired my set with a cherub tank—because what other way to make things look younger and more modern? And because I believe that a good wide-brim hat can complete nearly any look, I topped off my summer suit outfit with one from my favorite hat brand Lack of Color.

Blazer: PrettyLittleThing | Shorts: PrettyLittleThing | Shirt + Belt: thrifted, writer’s own | Sandals: Franco Sarto

When it’s just too damn hot outside, I see no reason not to sport some shorts. These lightweight corduroy shorts pair so well with the matching sage blazer—I didn’t think I’d ever want to take them off. I loved adding in this fun, vintage blouse for some seriously extra color to coordinate with the sandals. The best part? This suit can easily be worn in the spring as well because these pastels SCREAM April-appropriate.

My Favorite Matte Sunscreens For Oily & Blemish-Prone Skin

Sunscreen is arguably the non-negotiable skincare product that pretty much every dermatologist will tell you is an absolute must . Aside from SPF’s beauty benefits (it protects your skin from the sun’s wrinkle-inducing rays and offers defense against free radical damage), you probably already know just how important it is for the purpose of preventing life-threatening forms of skin cancer as well. Unfortunately, finding a matte sunscreen for oily skin types isn’t exactly an easy feat. While I recognize that a good sunscreen is paramount when it comes to preventative skincare and my overall health, I also happen to have very oily skin that tends to react rather poorly (a.k.a. looks like an absolute oil slick) with many sunscreen formulas — both mineral and chemical. However, just like it’s important to moisturize even the oiliest of skin types, it’s equally — if not more — vital to protecting shine-prone skin with SPF, regardless of what season it happens to be. On that note, yes, ...

The Best From-Behind Sex Positions For Bottomless Pleasure

Image
When you think of sex positions from behind , you may scratch your head at how backward penetration could stretch far beyond classic doggy style. And, I’ll be honest, I immediately (and erroneously) had the same reaction. As an avid fan of the down-on-all-fours technique, I questioned how you could possibly switch up reach-from-behind penetration for the better. I quickly realized I was overthinking it. You see, when it comes to sex positions from behind, it’s not as much about drastic directional changes as it is all about getting deep and, in some cases, putting balance to the test. Hell, in some renditions, you can even bring in props for added pleasure . The more research I conduct on from-behind play, the more I realize I have tested many of these delightful iterations in my own life. And that’s the beauty of these backwards sex positions: They don’t require gymnast-level flexibility to accomplish O-worthy depth—at least not all of them do. And let’s not forget: The view is pret...

The Best Drugstore BB & CC Creams For Acne Prone Skin

Image
Temperatures are beginning to sky-rocket, which means if you have oily or breakout-prone skin, excess sweat and shine may just become your worst enemy in the months to come. But if you’re like me, wearing a heavy, oil-controlling foundation with a flat-matte finish feels just plain wrong during the summertime, especially if you’re spending more time outdoors and looking for a simplified beauty routine. For me, beauty should be care-free and low maintenance during summer, not a hassle. While BB and CC creams are traditionally associated with having more hydrating formulas and dewy finishes, if you’re looking to get the fuss-free blendability, fast application and skincare-enhanced benefits of one of these complexion multi-taskers without the risk of turning your face into an oil slick mid-day, switching to an oil-free BB cream for acne-prone skin is your best bet. When both temperatures our skin’s oil production reaches their peak high, pores open up more, which can lead to exacerbat...
