Dressing as a luscious girl is hard enough, with many clothing brands taking the “one size fits all” approach, but summer comes with its own set of challenges. The good news is that simple secrets will allow you to look stylish, not vulgar, and you don’t have to think about having to wrap yourself in an oversized sundress.
Yeah, short shorts look cute and all, but when they're accompanied by thigh chafing and a perpetual wedge crease, you just want to stay home in a sweater. And don't start by trying to find cute sundresses that cover your entire butt - it's almost impossible unless you want to look like a grandma.
Buy wide-fitting shoes
In the summer heat, your feet can swell (especially if you walk all day), so buy shoes with a wide last. They'll give you extra flexibility so you can enjoy wearing your new strappy sandals.
Apply deodorant under your breasts
One of the worst parts of summer: underboob sweat.Get rid of underboob moisture (you know what it is) for good with a little antiperspirant. Apply a little under your breasts before a long day outside to reduce sweating.
Try using a bra pad
Sometimes even the strongest deodorant can't lock in moisture. If sweat becomes a serious problem (for example, if it seeps through your shirt in public), try using a bra pad designed specifically to absorb sweat from your chest. Simply place it under the front or back of your bra for extra protection—essentially, it's like a maxi pad for your breasts.
Buy yourself a bodysuit
The more you move, the more tight tank tops ride up. Spend a few dollars on a quality jumpsuit and consider your problem solved. It stays in place and doesn't wrinkle all day long and also wicks excess sweat away from your thighs.
Invest in a bra that "really" fits
The reason your breasts keep falling out of your top? Most likely, you are wearing the wrong bra size - this is obvious, but many plus-size women still do this. Give yourself the right support with a bra that is truly designed for large breasts.
Choose cotton over polyester
Trust me, not all summer dresses are created equal. Choose breathable, natural fabrics like cotton and linen instead of synthetic ones like polyester, and you'll sweat much less. Plus, when you get sweaty, your outfit won't be tight and uncomfortable. In addition, 100% natural fabrics are completely biodegradable, unlike polyester and spandex.
Wearing cycling shorts under dresses will help prevent chafing on your thighs.
Baby powder, gel or balm will help deal with chafing. However, they often need to be reapplied throughout the day and don't always hold up in 40-degree heat. Instead, wear cycling shorts under dresses and skirts on hot days. An extra light layer will help keep your crotch area dry and will be a lifesaver if your skirt blows out in the wind.
Boyfriend shorts provide more butt coverage
Super short cutoffs can be a little uncomfortable if you're blessed with a butt. After exactly two steps, they rise and turn into underwear. Cuffed boyfriend shorts or mid-thigh bike shorts are on trend and still show off your curves.
Halter tops will relieve armpit chafing
When it's especially hot and humid outside, armpit chafing from your cute top can be a real pain. The low cut halterneck wedge allows your armpits to breathe while still looking sexy.
Forget about high hemlines
Your bottom can cause dresses to ride up at the back, so in windy weather you'll have to adjust to avoid exposing yourself to the world. Dresses with high hemlines are longer in the back so you can show off your legs without showing off your underwear.
