There’s no time like the middle of July to talk about beating the summer heat. I mean, am I the only one who starts complaining within the first five minutes of leaving my apartment? It’s really hot! Nonetheless, there are always things you can do to make it better. And by things you can do, I mean things you can wear.
Think: breezy dresses, polished shorts, easy jumpsuits, and cute skirts. Sounds like a no-brainer, but keeping this in mind and resisting the urge to wear your go-to tight jeans every day can really make a difference. So to jump-start your warm-weather plan of attack, I’ve rounded up all the above and all for under $50 with a little help from our very own Who What Wear collection for Target. Simply continue on to shop each category and for a little outfit inspiration along the way.
