The lightest possible summer fabrics — tissue linen, gossamer cotton, barely-there knits — in the palest palette. Dressing that feels like it could dissolve in the heat and somehow that's exactly the point.
Thin Air
Best Lightweight Summer Clothing is about breathable layers that do not ask much of you when the heat arrives. I found slim-fit tees, European linen pants and shorts, a wide-leg patch-pocket style, and an organic cotton boxy crewneck from Zara, Quince, Tommyjohn, Vuori, Talbots, and SKIMS.
