Today, we’ve got an easy formula for looking put together when the temperature refuses to cooperate.

What We’re Wearing

Summer Heatwave

When the forecast starts threatening us with triple digits, getting dressed becomes less about making a statement and more about staying comfortable without looking like you've completely given up. The trick is choosing pieces that work with the weather instead of against it: breathable natural fabrics, lightweight technical materials and silhouettes that allow a little airflow. The result is a look that feels relaxed, considered and ready for whatever the day has planned.

This week's outfit leans into that easygoing formula. An oversized linen shirt is worn open over a moisture-wicking tank, giving you coverage from the sun without trapping heat. Boxy nylon shorts keep things light and practical, while a pair of fisherman sandals strikes that sweet spot between polished and casual. It's the kind of combination that moves effortlessly from a morning coffee run to an afternoon in the park and straight into drinks on a shaded patio after work.
