It seems as though “heatwave” is now synonymous with “summer,” which makes dressing a serious challenge! To help you, we’ve broken down some NYC-summer-appropriate outfits based on the temperature on the thermostat 😅🥵🔥. Grab a cold beverage, and let’s get dressed!
When it’s hot…
The temperature is rising outside and dipping inside. A light pair of cotton pants with just the right amount of stretch + the airiest button-down imaginable + a cotton sweater for the morning commute/A.C. will do the trick. Remember to hydrate!

When you walk outside and get smacked in the face by the heat…
They’re saying that average temperatures are higher this month, and today is no exception. But you have things to do! So, wear a light pair of silk shorts + your favorite cotton tee + comfy sandals made for walking + a basket tote to hold a change of clothes 🥵.

Record-breaking temperatures… for the third day in a row…
The heat is on 🔥 with no end in sight, so wrap a silk pareo around your waist + put on a barely-there tank + grab a fan. This heat calls for an Aperol Spritz—or two.
