Heat and humidity can make staying fresh feel like a full-time job. A few adjustments to your clothing and daily habits can help you feel more comfortable even on the muggiest days.
Choose Breathable Fabrics
Cotton and other natural, breathable fabrics let air circulate and reduce trapped moisture, which matters even more in hot weather. Save tighter, synthetic fabrics for cooler days when sweating is less of a factor.
Change Damp Clothing Promptly
Sweaty workout clothes or swimwear left on for hours create a warm, damp environment. Pack a spare outfit if you know you'll be sweating throughout the day.
Carry Quick Refresh Essentials
Unscented wipes, a travel-size intimate wash, and a spare pair of underwear in your bag make it easy to freshen up during a long, hot day away from home.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking enough water supports your body overall in the heat, and staying cool in general, seeking shade, using a fan, dressing lightly, reduces excess sweating in the first place.
