I Wear Black Even in 90-Degree Heat—Here’s How I Manage It
If you were to peek inside my closet, you'd notice an overwhelming dominance of one color: black. My preference for this shade arises from its association with cleanliness, sleekness, and a polished appearance. As someone who embraces a minimalist style, it's the neutral hue that I adore the most. I wear black throughout the year—even during summer. However, I do take measures to make it suitable for warmer weather. For instance, I pay attention to the fabric. Natural fibers like cotton, pointelle, and silk work best in the heat due to their breathability and lightweight qualities. The trend of sheer dresses and skirts is also particularly fitting for summer. During extreme heat, opting for nylon or canvas bags is preferable to leather ones, as they cling less to the skin. Lightweight pants, such as Leset's Kyoto style, have also become a favorite.
Some of my most frequently worn black items include dresses, midi skirts, knee-length skirts, and my ever-growing assortment of black bags and footwear. Below are some options for summer black clothing.
