Mistake: Wearing dark jeans in 90 degree heat. Fix: Unless your objective is to cook your thighs, opt for a lighter wash of jeans or get a pair of linen pants! (Dark colors absorb heat, light colors reflect)
Men's Light Wash Jeans
Mistake: Overdoing the cologne. Fix: Yes smelling good is important for your self esteem but too much can be just as bad. One or two spritzes of your favorite scent is all you need, let that hot summer breeze do the work for you!

Mistake: Forgetting sunglasses. Fix: I'm aware that you need to let your eyes adjust to the sun so that your brain sends the right signals to help you not get burned, BUT I also know that if you have light colored eyes (blue, green) the sun can hurt ...
Sunglass Hut
Mistake: Not taking care of yourself (proper grooming) Fix: A fresh cut, trimmed beard and definitely some SPF (you're skin needs protecting too!) Plus with a hair cut you'll stay cooler!

Mistake: Tucking in the wrong shirt. Fix: My personal opinion, tucking in shirts cuts you off at a weird point (so you'll look shorter or draw attention to your abdominal areas) MY opinion, you should only tuck a shirt when you're wearing a jacket or...

Mistake: Wearing leggings in the heat. Fix: Girl, your legs need to breathe! Maybe switch those out for a flowy pair of linen pants. (Be careful with sizes in linen pants, they are notorious for running small!)
Women's Linen Pants
Mistake: Too tight tank tops. Fix: I don't know about you, but wearing stuff that's too tight in the summer makes me feel suffocated and hotter. You may want to consider a halter top or a linen crop top to stay cooler.
Halter Tops
Mistake: Super strappy heels for all day wear. Fix: Cute, but your feet will cry girl, these ballet flat fold and fit in your purse so you can have them on hand when you need them!

Mistake: Forgetting proper undergarments. Fix: Try a nude colored, seamless or strapless bra. It will blend into your outfit better and you won't see it under that kind of see through top you love!
Nearly Nude Womens Bras in Womens Bras, Panties & Lingerie(151)
Mistake: Layering too heavily. Fix: consider a sheer button up, mesh top or tied chambray top these are thinner and will be cooler.

Mistake: Hair down on hot days. Fix: Try a cute claw clip that fits your style to keep your hair out of your face and off your neck.

Mistake: Not accessorizing. Fix: Add a cute straw hat (will keep the sun off your face!) and colorful earrings and some cute sunnies! Be your extra beautiful self!
Womens Straw Hats
Mistake: Wearing heavy make up. Fix: You know as well as I do that that heavy foundation will melt right off! Instead consider a tinted SPF, cream blush and a lip balm and maybe some mascara and call it good.
