How To Dress So You Stop Sweating During Your Commute

There's nothing like feeling like a sweaty mess, melting into your first meeting.

Here are some tips to help you beat the commute and arrive at work looking more presentable.

1. Plan Your Route Try to find shaded or air-conditioned routes for your commute. And don't underestimate the difference a sun umbrella can make -- if you can't avoid the sun, at least you can block it a bit!

2. Use Cooling Accessories Consider using cooling accessories like a portable fan or a water mist spray. These can provide immediate relief during your commute. A quiet, USB-powered fan that doesn't disturb your colleagues can be a great addition to your desk.

3. Hydrate Before Leaving Drink plenty of water before you head out to keep your body hydrated - not just an iced latte. Believe it: staying hydrated helps regulate your body temperature, even when it's hot AF.

4. Dress in Light Layers Wear a lightweight outer layer or long-sleeve shirt. A breathable, loose-fitting outer shirt or jacket can protect you from the sun (and keep your body cooler) while allowing you to shed a layer once indoors.

5. Wear a Hat and Sunglasses A wide-brimmed hat can protect your face and neck from the sun, and sunglasses can shield your eyes from glare. This not only keeps you cool but also protects your skin and eyes.

6. Adjust Your Departure Time If possible, adjust your commute time to travel earlier in the morning or later in the evening. Just dreamin' up hot weather solutions, babe!

7. Get An Electric Car or Auto-Start Go from one cool spot to another. Honestly, it's the easiest option.

8. Botox Your Armpits Hey, one client in Texas did it. If sweat stains are a real problem, it's a real solution.

9. Accept Some Sweat, But Don't Stop Caring. Giving up on looking good just because it's hot out doesn't mean you'll feel better about the heat. Do your best.

10. Wear Loose Fitting, Natural Fabrics. Loosen up your fit, lighten your fabrics, and remove a few accessories to feel better in hot weather. This is because relaxed clothing increases airflow, and natural fibers are less likely to feel as icky on sweaty skin.

Bonus tip: One key way to stay fresh on your commute is to make sure you leave enough time so that you don't have to rush.

And when every minute counts, having a well-curated and organized closet can make all the difference. If you're ready for an overhaul of your wardrobe, book a call, and let's get you looking cool and feeling confident even when it's hot out.
