It's getting hot in here, and while we'd like to take off all our clothes, we don't quite think we'd get away with it at the office... or on the bus... or at the coffee shop. And so, the struggle of what to wear while the weather is so effin hot continues.
In our quest to find summer wardrobe staples that won't leave us drenched in sweat by 9am, we've become obsessed with cheesecloth and wow, what a lightweight delight! Cheesecloth, for those unfamiliar, is a loosely woven, gauze-like cotton fabric. This makes it incredibly breathable, thus an ideal choice for heatwave dressing.
First on our to-buy-list is this PixieGirl Blue Shirred Cheesecloth Midi Dress from Next, priced at £35. Not only is the fabric oh-so-airy to wear, but the gathered detailing adds gentle shape and movement, while the vibrant colour will look just as stunning in your Amalfi Coast holiday snaps as it will at that after-work BBQ.
As for what to wear this cheesecloth dress with? Toe-loop sandals are really having a moment right now, and we'd finish things off with an oversized raffia beach bag to add a bit of contrasting texture. Colourful beaded necklaces are also popping up a lot on our feeds of late, and there are so many varieties to choose from. Like, you can literally find a colour to match any and all outfits.
