Summer is the trickiest season for style. In the fall and winter, you just have to load on the layers, and spring is all about sweaters and sundresses. But in the summertime, it’s too hot to figure out a flattering ensemble.
Most of our warm-weather outfits make Us feel underdressed or overexposed. Breezy mumus hide our shape, while short shorts reveal too much leg. We’ve been on the hunt for a happy medium!
