High temperatures encourage you to wear lighter and fresher clothes to cope with it as best you can. Sleeveless shirts, flowy blouses, crisp dresses, midi skirts and sandals are just some of the summer essentials in every woman’s wardrobe that are repeated year after year.

When dressing there is a very important starting point to take into account and that is to know how to be guided by the body type and which clothes suit us best.

That’s why making a good combination is just as important as choosing the clothes that suit us best.
