The dread I feel waking up summer mornings.... and having to figure out what to wear!!
As Pesach comes closer and the weather starts warming up I feel a familiar pit in my stomach.
I can not ever figure out how to get dressed modestly in hot weather.
I am short and heavier, so T-shirts dont look good on me at all, but even if I could wear Ts, what stockings, leggings, tight, socks, hair covering, its so much!
I just have such a hard time with covering my legs, covering my hair, high neck tops - all of it!
how do you do it? what do you do in the hot sticky months to make sure you look good and put together but dont suffocate in your own clothing??
any and all ideas for cooling, fabrics, companys, styles are welcomed!

Dresses. Less items, less layers, less decisions

Kmw makes lightweight shirts and dresses. The high low tops are comfy and flattering and I wear them with a lightweight skirt knee highs. And their dresses are amazing. Wear them with a thin slip and knee highs.

I am overweight 5'4" and close to 200 lbs. I just don't care that much about how I look. I get hoy very quickly so I wear maxi/slinky skirts and tees. Socks and sneakers. I wear a snood or a fall with a band if I must.

I used to live in an extremely hot climate and wore this kind of dress all summer.

Maxi dresses so I don't have to wear pantyhose! I hate the hot weather wardrobes too

I love pantyhose because for me it prevents sticky thunder thighs, I wear beige. I have shell dresses and wear gauzy over pieces almost like a swim cover up. Then I match my headscarf to the over piece. I feel put together because it looks like I put effort in. I like loafers over sneakers for almost everything because I can slip my feet in and out to let them breathe.

Another option (in some communities) is long dresses over bike shorts (instead of pantyhose) with sneakers and socks.

I wear mostly maxi dresses. I try today stick with breathable fabrics, but it’s not always possible. I loathe summer, so I understand how you feel.

Maxi dresses, skirts and tops. Cotton materials. One layer, not see though. Biker shorts underneath.
Wrap skirts are very in and very comfortable. Easy to move in.
Ditch the tights.

OP, I get you. I am short and overweight and nothing looks right on me in the summer. So I go with what's comfortable. For the person who said hi-low style - this looks horrible on my body-type. So, seeing as nothing in the summer looks good, I go with comfort. Long skirts and socks and loose tops.
