It's So Hot in Pennsylvania, I'm Buying These 10 Breezy Summer Pieces to Stay Cool

Between days spent at the beach, dinners eaten outside, and more hours of sunshine to enjoy, there’s a never-ending list of reasons why I love summer. With this year’s high temperatures where I live in Pennsylvania, however, I’ve been reminded of one aspect of the season I could live without: the heat. 

After sweating through one too many of my favorite pieces, I’ve realized that I need to refresh my wardrobe with some heatwave-proof items. These days, the only clothes I want to put on my body need to be lightweight, loose, breezy, or ideally, all of the above. Thankfully, Amazon is full of breathable, summer-friendly pieces, from cropped linen pants to short-sleeve blouses. Out of all the warm weather picks the retailer has to offer, I rounded up a list of my top 15, which includes flowy cotton skirts, chic jumpsuits, and airy T-shirt dresses starting at just $20.

Hanes Originals Garment-Dyed Midi Dress 

The dress that customers call “so comfy” and “just the right thickness” is on sale for only $18. Style it with a pair of white sneakers for running errands, or with a pair of strappy sandals for a comfortable dinner outfit. 

Wneedu T-Shirt Dress With Pockets

If you’re like me and also struggle with sweating through your clothes in the summer, you may want to check out this majorly discounted T-shirt dress, which customers say is “perfect for summer heat” and “doesn’t show moisture.” 

Vansha High-Waisted Linen Palazzo Pants

With their soft linen and cotton blend, smocked high waistband, and chic pleats, these palazzo pants have already earned a spot in my suitcase this summer. And right now they’re on sale for just $29 — that’s over 40 percent off their original price. 

Dokotoo Casual Loose Overalls

For the days when you need a break from your dresses, try these best-selling  wide-leg overalls, which are on sale for just $26. One customer called them “incredibly flattering” yet “super comfortable,” adding that the material is “soft and breathable.” 

Nashalyly Chiffon Pleated Maxi Skirt

Out of everything in my closet, my white maxi skirt is easily one of my most-worn items. Customers say this similar style has “just enough flow” and “fits like a dream.” Plus, it just so happens to be the number one best-selling skirt on Amazon.

Molerani Casual Loose T-Shirt Dress

I’m a recent convert to T-shirt dresses, which make putting together outfits ridiculously easy. Customers call this loose style from Molerani “incredibly soft, breathable, and stretchy,” which is precisely what I want out of my summer clothing. 

Evaless Cuffed-Sleeve Blouse

This versatile, gauzy short-sleeve blouse comes in nine colors, is made of breathable fabric, and has been called “super comfortable” by customers. While the airy material makes it great for humid days, it can also just as easily be layered under a denim jacket for cooler nights. 

Dokotoo Crochet Eyelet Blouse

Summer is undoubtedly the time to break out crochet, making this eyelet blouse that one customer called “relaxed and easy breezy” an immediate add-to-cart. I plan on pairing it with denim cut-offs, a woven bag, and lots of gold jewelry. 

Anrabess Linen High-Waist Palazzo Pants

While my closet is stuffed to the brim with linen, most of my collection is meant for somewhere sandy. I love that this more structured pair features a ruched high waistband, making it appropriate for running errands, heading out to dinner, or even going into the office. 

Faleave Cotton Linen Palazzo Beach Pants 

While I usually stick to white linen pants, this sand-colored pair with a drawstring waist has convinced me that I need to add some other neutrals into the mix. Style them with a cropped tank and a straw wide-brim hat to complete the beach-ready look.
