Getting dressed in the summer can be tricky. We are constantly walking a fine line between looking good and not becoming a big hot sweaty mess. It might seem tempting to spend the months of May through September in t-shirts and shorts, but it is not really an option for most of us. And we’ve discovered that the solution is available at MUJI.

You need to be wearing breathable fabrics because the last thing you need when it is hot or humid is to be wearing a fabric that sticks to your skin. Linen is your new BFF, it is lightweight and allows for airflow while also wicking away moisture from your skin as you sweat, helping you to naturally cool down. Quality cottons are also great at doing this, and luckily for us, both are available at MUJI.
The second trick is to choose silhouettes and items that are slightly looser. Go oversized if you want to, but in general, you want to make sure that there is enough space to flow between your body and your clothes. This allows the air to pass along the skin and exit, speeding evaporation and carrying off excess heat.

This season’s summer collection at MUJI for both men and women features both of these important elements. From beautifully cut shirts to wide-legged pants that will make you feel elegant whether you’re in the office or at a resort. The colors feel light and airy too, and are available in several neutral shades of beige, blue and green that will leave you feeling fresh and cool, literally and figuratively.
