Top Ten Trending Hot Weather Essentials
Guest posts |
As temperatures rise across the globe, cotton continues to be an imperative fabric to incorporate into your wardrobe. Cotton’s versatility is one of its many fabulous qualities. This natural fiber offers inherent benefits such as wicking, durability, and biodegradability, making it a fantastic closet staple no matter the climate. It’s absolutely ideal in warmer weather! While jeans and a t-shirt are universal and essential items for anyone’s closet, this season, there are other 100% cotton key items that are having a moment. These ten trending hot-weather essentials offer a refreshingly fashion-forward yet classic option, so we don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort.
1. Oversized Button-Up Shirt
2. Maxi Skirt
3. Poplin ‘Boxer’ Shorts
4. Pajama-Like Pants
5. Ribbed Tank
6. Vintage Tee
7. Oversized Jorts
8. Cotton Poplin Top
9. Flowy Sundress
10. Necessary Accessories: A Hat and Hand Fans
1. Oversized Button-Up Shirt
The oversized dress shirt is a classic silhouette that gets updated each season. This season, the bigger, the better, with blue and stripes a popular choice. We also absolutely love this look from São Paulo Fashion Week SPFW street style!

2. Maxi Skirt
This is the ultimate versatile wardrobe staple. It can be found in multiple colors and prints, and styled in a number of ways. Worn low and long (seen here styled here with another popular item: the Brazil cotton baby tee how cute!) or pulled up as a midi dress like this street style look from SPFW. You can even try tucking the hem to style it as a bubble skirt!
3. Poplin ‘Boxer’ Shorts
A Vogue article exclaimed, “Throw Out Your Pants, Everyone’s Wearing Cotton Boxer Shorts Now.” While this trend may not be suited for work, and pants are pretty important (lol), boxers can be styled to be chic enough for a day at the museum and are very hot weather-friendly! Utilizing 100% cotton poplin for a more structured silhouette is key.

4. Pajama-Like Pants
Staying with the sleepy yet chic vibe, cotton bottoms with a ‘pajama-like’ style are all the rage this season. Style them with a blazer and ballet flats to dress up your look, or get your hands on a pair with cutesy feminine details like this bow-peekaboo moment!
5. Ribbed Tank
We love styling a ribbed cotton tank! It’s so versatile, affordable (we love the value pack from the men’s or boy’s section!), and never goes out of style.
6. Vintage Tee
Nothing beats the comfort and effortlessness of a soft and loose tee. Style it like Hailey Beiber with shorts for a sporty vibe or a skirt for a chic juxtaposition.
7. Oversized Jorts
Ok, jean shorts (jorts!) always have their moment, but this season’s looser fits offer an updated, fresh silo and are much more friendly to warm weather!

8. Cotton Poplin Top
The girlie Ganni-inspired top is everywhere, while uber-feminine details like a puffed sleeve and bows. In contrast to the ultra-sweet, another top we’re seeing everywhere is the menswear-inspired vest!
9. Flowy Sundress
Of course, a cotton dress in rising temps can be an easy way to catch the breeze and look put together without all the effort of styling! We love a pop of color, short or long, flowy and fabulous! Bella Hadid’s cotton keffiyeh dress is perfect for making a statement in warm weather without sacrificing style!

10. Necessary Accessories: A Hat and Hand Fans
Finally, no look is complete without accessories. We love when function meets fashion: sun protection with the cool factor of a classic or two-toned baseball or bucket hat, plus the Beyonce moment a hand fan gives is wonderful!
It is clear: cotton is the absolute best choice when considering what to wear to beat the heat while maintaining one’s personal style. Brazilian cotton is the perfect fiber to utilize for classic staples and trendy seasonal items without sacrificing comfort, quality, or sustainability!
