When you're expecting a baby, most of your wardrobe becomes uncomfortable (or even impossible) to wear. You have to find new styles, fabrics and shapes that you feel comfortable (and still yourself) in and sometimes, it can be difficult to create outfits you enjoy. 

If you're pregnant and need an inspiring dose of outfit inspiration, you need look no further than our very own Australian influencers. Brooke Testoni, Talisa Sutton and Kelly Muller immediately stand out as women who mastered the art of maternity dressing while still maintaining their personal style. And after a deep-dive into their outfit formulas, we noticed each of these women found one key piece they relied on. 

Keep reading to see which wardrobe item was most important to each influencer, who knows, you might just find the maternity outfit you've been searching for. 

Brooke Testoni: Mini Skirts

Brooke Testoni gave birth to her son earlier this year, and wore mostly mini skirts (on Instagram anyway) during her pregnancy. From a caramel Marle skirt, to the gingham H&M shirt she wore when she shared her announcement news, Testoni kept her maternity outfits short and sweet. 

Talisa Sutton: Silk Slip Skirts 

Talisa Sutton announced her pregnancy in August and since then, we've noticed all her outfits have one thing in common—silk skirts—with a black Lee Mathews maxi skirt becoming her go-to piece. 

Kelly Müller: Bikinis

Kelly Müller loves the beach and her maternity outfits reflect that. One scroll through her account and you'll see bikinis are her go-to and has worn them in a variety of colours during her second pregnancy. 

Kendall Jenner is one of those celebrities who always have the latest and greatest It pieces because that's what one does when they have access to any fashion item their heart desires. This is why we study what she's wearing so closely. There's simply no arguing with the fact that Kendall Jenner is crazy stylish and has one of the most enviable shoe wardrobes on the planet.

Since fall began, we've been talking a lot about the latest It sneakers and ankle boots, but we can't neglect all the other shoe styles that are wildly popular this season. Which brings us to Jenner. The model recently wore Ellery's white leather slingback pumps while at Paris Fashion Week and again over the weekend at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in Los Angeles. The shoes feature an elongated toe and tortoiseshell block heel, and for both occasions, she paired them with a structured minidress.

The hot heels are only available on Net-a-Porter (where they're nearly sold out) and Ellery's e-commerce site (where they're completely sold out), and as we all know, scarcity makes us all want something even more. Read on to see and shop the It heels, along with other cool Ellery shoes.

Let’s all admit it, we have a major weakness for “cool” earrings. From Mars’ sparkly resin versions, to Valet Studio’s trend-worthy tortoiseshell options more and more fun styles are emerging—and we’re all for it. We predicted that 2018's most favoured accessories would be bold... But still, we weren’t prepared for all the amazing earrings this season has introduced us to. While we’re big advocates of all the fun styles emerging lately, one brand in particular has us especially enthralled.

None other than one of our very own Australian designers, Ellery has been rolling out some fabulous earrings lately. And the vibe hits so close to home—literally. With hints of summer, and a beachy aesthetic, Ellery’s styles feel natural, yet still refined. Sounds like Australian fashion in a nutshell, no? The only thing we love more than cool jewellery is supporting local designers; thankfully, in this scenario, we can do both at once! Keep scrolling to shop our favourite Ellery earrings, but be warned: You’re going to want more than one pair.

When it comes to style, a simple detail can make all the difference. Right now, we’ve got our eyes on the side-slit top. While you might be most familiar with skirts with slit details à la Angelina Jolie, this iteration is something different.

This detail along the side seams of your everyday top is minor but mighty, elevating any piece from its standard look. From split hems to dramatic high-low levels, these tees, blouses, and sweaters add movement and allow for styling, tucking, and twisting your top in a range of new ways.

Ready to test out a side-slit top yourself? We pulled together our favorite takes on the style just for you. Layer them over a mock turtleneck for the winter, or take a lighter version to the beach with you as a cover-up. Or, tuck the front into a pair of skinny jeans for a casual approach to the trend. Whatever you do, you’ll want to wear this trend all the time.

Basically, the subtle detail livens up any top. Excuse us while we overhaul our entire wardrobe…

If you’re a mother, then you already know that taking care of a newborn means juggling a lot. From tending to your baby’s needs to getting just enough sleep to function, you’ve taken on a whole new job in itself. So naturally, the last thing you want to think about is the best types of tops for nursing that make the experience easier for both you and your infant. 

“When I was breastfeeding Leo, I found that cross-front tops gave easy access and oversize scarves worked wonders as nursing covers! Nursing tanks and bras are a must as they'll just make your life that much easier,” says Jillian Harris, a lifestyle & family blogger. “However, before going out and buying a whole new wardrobe … pull out items that have zippers or button/snap fronts as these will be the easiest items to get you breastfeeding in no time! Items that are functional, comfortable, and stylish are key!”

Ariana Goldman, the founder of maternity clothing brand Hatch, also recommends tops that be easily untied or with buttons. “The best tops for nursing are those which are chic and integral to your wardrobe, but that you’d never know are functional, too. A woman doesn’t have to forgo style during nursing.” she says.

With this advice, we found some of our favorite tops that are ideal for nursing. It just goes to show you can still be chic while tending to your baby.

Though her name is now known around the world, actress Margot Robbie is still an Australian girl at heart. In addition to defining Australian slang for the rest of the world in this Vanity Fair video, she’s spreading her Australian influence in other ways—namely, her outfit choices.

Over the years, Margot has stepped out numerous times in Australian labels, showcasing some of the best fashion Australia has to offer. Needless to say, she always looks flawless, but we can’t help but love her even more when she’s wearing brands that show off her Australian background.

If you abide by a minimal approach to fashion, getting dressed for an evening out probably doesn’t include any loud prints or flashy jewelry. After all, minimalism is all about simplicity and clean lines rather than anything too busy. But how does minimalism translate to after 5 attire?

Interested to find out one woman's approach, we tapped Débora Rosa—a chic Portuguese fashion girl whose minimal style deserves your attention. From a quick glance at her Instagram, you’ll notice her penchant for pieces from Céline and The Row—both masters of minimal fashion. But she also has an expert ability to pluck pieces from affordable retailers like H&M and make them look equally cool and fashion-forward.

When asked about her approach to nighttime dressing, Rosa told Who What Wear, “For the evening or going out I always rely on my three-rule mantra: Comfort, black canvas, sexy-chic.” These pieces ground her look but she “normally starts with something black: a tee, jeans, trousers, dress, or blouse.” And her go-to outfit for a night out? She told Who What Wear that she tends to rely on “black jeans, suede pointy heeled boots, a silk cami top, a black blazer, and … some jewelry.” Ahead, shop pieces to tap into her cool minimal style for a night out.

Next, read about the minimal wardrobe staples you haven't tried yet.

The great thing about a minimalist wardrobe is that at once it can feel modern and utterly timeless. Sticking to streamlined silhouettes dreamed up in luxe fabrics and adding in unique accessories is a winning formula for looking chic every time you step outside. Just look to women like Vanessa Traina, Barbara Martelo, and Nicole Warne, who are examples of this reserved take on fashion. They always have a command of the latest trends but wear them in a way that feels pared back and cool. To tap into this specific brand of minimalism, we took a deeper look at the pieces needed to pull it off.

Whether you’re a minimalist through and through or want to test out the look, we’ve pulled together some pieces you might not have tried out before. From sculptural jewelry that’s inspired by design to bags that are anything but ordinary to interesting takes on your everyday fashion essentials, these are the new minimalist wardrobe staples you’ll find in the closets of cool girls.

A new year means a new set of resolutions you may or may not keep (eating healthier, traveling more—you know the drill). But one promise you can commit to is making 2018 your best dressed year to date. With fashion month just weeks away, we're already looking ahead to the biggest trends on the horizon. From the next It bag to the coolest color to try head-to-toe, we're here to help break things down. Below, you'll find the eight trends we're adding to our wardrobes now before they blow up big time. Armed with a little inspiration (and plenty of options to shop), you'll be ready for January 1 and whatever the New Year brings along with it.

Read on for your guide to the only trends that matter in 2018.

Love them or hate them, belt bags are back in a major way for 2018. Luxe leather styles are worn belted at the waist or slung over one shoulder for an updated look.

If you have yet to embrace this classic winter staple, 2018 is the year to give it a try. The sleek coat lends a polished foil to cool athleisure pieces.

Yes, 2017 kicked off the power-suiting trend, but prepare for more more more in the coming year. 

Expect to see plenty of bold dressing in the coming months, and don't be afraid to mix things up a bit. Assorted florals and graphic prints will be everywhere.

In a move that's equal parts practical and fun, splashes of plastic appeared on plenty of runways for spring 2018. From colorful belts to sheer coats, there's no wrong way to wear it.

Western-inspired details permeated runways in New York and Europe too. From refreshed cowboy boots to lots of denim, expect to see Western wear everywhere in the New Year. 

For the past few seasons, super-high-rise pants have been huge, but don't count low riders out. Love them or hate them, low-slung pants are coming back in 2018.

Every year, there are certain hues that seem to capture the imagination of designers and trendsetters alike (Millennial Pink, anyone?).

The turtleneck is a necessary winter staple. After all, the extra warmth braces you for those unbearably cold days, and the style is undeniably timeless. It’s no wonder fashion girls have been wearing the turtleneck year after year. While we’ve seen the staple worn with an oversize coat, layered underneath a silk slip dress, or tucked into vintage denim, there is one rendition of this cold-weather style that should not be ignored—the turtleneck sweaterdress.

And to help kick-start your winter outfit inspiration, we’ve rounded up the chicest turtleneck sweaterdresses on the market. Style your next purchase with menswear-inspired loafers and an oversize plaid blazer, or try complementing a midi-length turtleneck dress with pointed ankle booties. You’ll see that the styling options for this cold-weather staple are endless. Go on to check out our favorite turtleneck sweater dresses from Monse, Pixie Market, Rouje, and more.

If there’s one thing we do well in Australia, it’s taking advantage of the warmer weather when summer rolls around. And as you’ll often find us heading straight to the beach or a bar after leaving the office, when we find a couple of summer dresses that really work, they can quickly become a bit of a wash, wear, repeat situation.

If you have mastered your 15-piece wardrobe and are trying to keep things simple, all you’ll need to do is add a few styling tricks, plus a couple of investment accessories, to take your casual summer dresses to the next level, and make your whole outfit a little more luxe.

As any woman who is getting dressed for the office knows, pulling clothes from your closet that are both chic and acceptable for a day of meetings isn't always intuitive. You want to feel confident and professional without sacrificing your personal sense of style. Interested to find out the outfits stylish women swear by to look both chic and ready for the office, we tapped three fashion industry insiders for their go-to outfit formulas.

Ahead, Moda Operandi merchandising manager Elizabeth Leventhal, Net-a-Porter Retail Fashion Director Lisa Aiken, creative consultant and street style star Rachael Wang, and fashion designer Laura Vassar share looks worth replicating. Their outfits strike the perfect balance between fashion-forward and work-appropriate. Not only will you discover looks that are ready to be re-created for your next day at the office, but you will also see some of this season's most covetable items for your wardrobe.

Keep reading to see what business casual looks like today, and shop the outfits of these stylish women.

"Because I work in a creative industry, dressing for the office is slightly more understated and pared back. There are very few 'rules' as to what I can wear to work. In order to feel confident in a business environment, I need to be comfortable, so part of my outfit almost always includes denim. I'll most likely pair it with a vintage tee and sharp blazer, paying homage to the original power-dressing staple. I like to add the unexpected to whatever I'm wearing, something that makes a look 100% mine. It can be something as simple as mismatching my personal jewelry or adding a masculine watch to an otherwise feminine look. I am fortunate enough to be able to wear denim to work, so I always make sure to incorporate one element that elevates my outfit. For example, I'll style my high-rise jeans with a gorgeous silk blouse, a heritage blazer, or a stiletto heel."

"Dressing for the office now also means 'dressing up' as a new mom! I have found that you can't go wrong with great denim (thank you, Re/Done!) and a pair of fun earrings."

"Because I don't go to an office per se every day, my wardrobe requirements are much more flexible than others'. However, on a day of important meetings when I want to come across as polished and professional, my go-tos are a long-sleeve midi dress and pumps, or an oversized men's inspired button-down, a midi skirt, some statement earrings, and a cool mule."

"I always look at my day before getting dressed for the office. If we have a fitting day, I am in Brock denim, flats, and a crisp white button-down or cozy knit. Other days, I like to have fun with my outfit and will wear a floral sundress, or skirt and blouse. I always like to mix it up."

The mercury has officially dropped, winter is here, and boots have become the top priority on shopping lists (especially on the east coast!). Aside from the warmth factor, the shoes’ style and versatility make them a must-have essential in every woman’s wardrobe. Thankfully, we have a plethora of street-style inspiration from Fashion Week Australia and the international runway shows to help us decide which boot trends to invest in this season.

We’re going to go ahead and assume you already own a pair of classic wear-everywhere black ankle boots, and if you don't, look to these celebrities for ideas—there’s one style everyone clearly loves.

From knee-high and studded boots (yep, they’re back), to new kids on the block, like metallic and sock boots, here are the silhouettes and styles you’ll be seeing and wearing all season.

Keep scrolling to find out what you'll be wearing next.

SOCK BOOTS

Call it "the Vetements effect". The sock boot trend has gone straight from Demna Gvasalia's creative mind to our happy little feet. The slim-fitting, foot-sculpting boots will be ubiquitous this season as style-stars worldwide are already all over the trend.

Shop the trend:

METALLIC BOOTS

It takes a brave woman to rock metallic boots. They are attention-grabbing to say the least, and generally require an equally bold outfit to match. Do you have the courage to try this trend?

Shop the trend:

STUDDED BOOTS

Studded shoes are nothing new. Designers have been adding this detail to boots for years. So, what is this season’s take on the trend, we hear you ask? Embellishments that line the circumference of the shoe. We're definitely on board with this fresh twist on a classic look.

Shop the trend:

WHITE BOOTS

White boots strike the perfect balance of modern footwear with a vintage feel. Choose sleek, ankle-height styles with clean lines and minimal fuss, to help alleviate the risk of looking like you just stepped off the set of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Shop the trend:

THE STATEMENT HEEL BOOTS

When Ellery released a pair of boots with extravagantly detailed heels, we knew there was no turning back. Heels are not simply functional anymore, no, this season they are statement-making, too.

Shop the trend:

KNEE-LENGTH BOOTS

A universally flattering and extremely versatile style, the knee-length boot is on high rotation all winter. Although they are a more classic trend than the other shoes on the list, knee-length boots are no doubt in equally high demand.

Shop the trend:

RED BOOTS

All we keep seeing right now is crimson-hued shoes. Red boots add an injection of character and liveliness to any outfit, which is all the more reason style-stars globally are championing the trend.

Trends come and go from season to season. No matter how long ago they began, or for however long they've been on the "outs," we can safely assume that the styles your mom or even grandma considered a must will return to favor again, no matter how much you make fun of the photos now. Currently, that trend is fishnets.

From the streets to the runway, to Instagram, fishnet has transformed from a simple pair of tights to a layering piece that's completely versatile. Not only have stockings been worn under just about everything, but fishnet has found its way to other styles of clothing, too. But where did it all begin? Below we're highlighting the journey fishnets have taken to become a defining trend of 2017. From a little bit of their early history to their reemergence over the past few seasons, we're breaking it all down below.

Read on for a look, and shop the trend.

Fishnet tights can be traced all the way back to the end of the 19th century. Women during the Victorian era did not reveal their legs in public, but as the world began to change, so did women's wardrobes.

Fishnet stockings became a trend among showgirls and flappers in the U.S. during the 1920s. While they were not considered "mainstream," their popularity grew among a certain more "modern" crowd.

Through the later part of the 20th century, fishnets gained momentum, becoming a staple among the punk crowd of the '70s, the grunge of the '90s, and let's not forget Madonna.

Fishnets tend to spring up on one runway or another from season to season, but in 2016, fishnets started to catch on in new and unexpected ways.

On the streets of fashion week this past fall, style stars used fishnets to add a little extra edge to their ensembles.

From Instagram to the streets, it became a popular choice to let fishnets peek out from under a pair of jeans.

Now, fishnet tights are a key layering piece for 2017, but fishnet tops, dresses, and more have entered the mainstream, too.

Shop Fishnet Styles

In the debate of skinny versus wide-leg pants, we’d have to guess that Victoria Beckham doesn’t choose a side. Instead, the designer and street style star, like many experimental fashion icons we know, likes to play around with both. And undoubtedly, when Beckham wants to go bold, she commits 110 per cent. Case in point: the wide-leg pants she's been seen wearing on more than one occasion. 

We've figured out the reason her looks never appear overwhelming. It has to do with the length of her trousers. Because the hem of her pants falls to the floor, the entire ensemble lengthens her 5'4" frame. Paired with a heel and ultimately, it's a completely flattering look from head to toe. 

Scroll down to see some of her best looks wearing wide-leg trousers, and shop more picks inspired by the trendsetter who's not afraid to push the envelope.

It can be easy to find yourself in a style rut during the summer. You know, when you end up just wearing the same outfit combination (i.e. shorts and a tee) day after day out of convenience. While there's nothing wrong with that, there's really no need to revert to the same old, same old with the slew of street style inspiration out there. Below, we rounded up seven easy looks to test out this summer—and shopped each ensemble for you too.

Go on to find your new go-to look.

This may be the simplest oufit ever—toss on a vibrant dress, add a pair of booties, and you're done.

We love this type of outfit as an alternative to your standard dress-and-heels ensemble for a night out—go for culottes, a graphic tee, a denim jacket, and fun heels.

If you're on the hunt for a simple yet forward casual Friday ensemble, go for a patterned blouse, wide-leg jeans, and stilettos.

Like the first outfit, this type of look is just as easy to replicate for a casual dinner this summer—simply go for a printed long dress (if you choose a statement print, you don't really need a ton of accessories) and trainers.

This is the ideal ensemble for drinks post-work. Slip into a silk tank, a printed skirt, and heels—that's it!

Heading to an outside soiree? Try an off-the-shoulder top, skirt, and flats (heels never work in the grass anyway!)

We're so into the idea of going for a not-so-average white blouse, coloured trousers, and slip-ons as an alternative to your go-to trousers-and-blouse ensemble for the office.

As if we needed another reason to get excited for summer—ice cream and park days are enough all on their own—stores are finally stocking this season’s high summer trends, and the shopping is really, really good. Temperatures are finally creeping upwards too, which means you can wear your new goodies straight out of the box—win!

Feeling inspired to embrace the best warm-weather looks? We've rounded up the trends worth trying, from head (flat sunglasses) to toe (hello, mules). So get to shopping!

This season, it’s been so cold out there on the streets at New York Fashion Week, that it’s been hard to spot many detailed trends on the street, as everyone’s bundled up in coats and boots (we would be too, if we were walking through snow and minus eight degree temps). When we spotted Ramya Giangola, founder of Gogoluxe, in an Ellery coat with ceramic buttons, she stood out. Her outfit was superbly layered (can we take a moment to appreciate the bustier over sweater situation) but it’s the button detail we love most and will be taking into autumn. Statement buttons feel fresh, unexpected, and are an updated version of an old-school trend (remember brooches?).

Do you remember those incredible Céline skateboards that blew up a few years ago? The creator behind one of the most coveted (at least for me) items of 2011 was fashion blogger Jayne Min, of Stop It Right Now. The stylist and creative director has since become a go-to source of inspiration for her skate-meets-fashion vibe. Her style is very Sydney right now. Combining denim with sleek design and cool outwear (like this perfect bomber jacket) means when she visits Australia, she slips in like a local.

Jayne was recently in Australia for a summer break, and we couldn’t help but catch up to grill her on Australian style. Keep scrolling to find out her favourite labels, where she loves to eat in Sydney, and how to curate the perfect travel suitcase.

Who What Wear Australia: How was your recent trip to Australia?

Jayne Min: A true vacation in every sense of the word. Eat, swim, sleep, swim, eat, sleep, and eat again. Each time I visit, my Australian retirement plan gets a little more cemented in my mind.

WWW: What did you enjoy most?

JM: I always enjoy the food. Australians really know how to do a good breakfast! No one does it better.

WWW: Is there a special link between you and Australia?

JM: When I finally went freelance after nearly a decade working at companies, I took a really monumental Eat Pray Love-style solo trip to Australia. It will always be a special, magical place that healed me and got me excited about my new life. Oh and that taught me about breakfast plates.

WWW: Did you discover any new Australian labels? What designers do you love best?

JM: I've been a long-time fan of Ellery, Dion Lee, and Christopher Esber. New labels I love are Matteau Swim and Her The Label. They make the best one pieces hands down. And this time around I became full-blown obsessed with Country Road beach towels, ha-ha! An Australian institution!

WWW: What do you think is different about Australian style?

JM: I think because it's so remote, Australians have had to be self-reliant and cultivated a lot of great domestic brands. The fashion scene really reflects the lifestyle here. It's the perfect mix of city and beach, almost like if you blended LA and NY. Australian women are chic!

WWW: What were your favourite places you visited in Australia?

JM: To be honest, I just love my go-to breakfast spots ha-ha. My favourites are O Organic Produce, Reuben Hills, Bunker, Gnome, and Shuk. The Art Gallery of NSW has to be one of my favourite museums anywhere, so I always make sure to stop by. The Blue Mountains are gorgeous too.

WWW: What do you owe your success to?

JM: Hard work and not caring what other people are doing.

WWW: What is your best fashion advice?

JM: Wear what makes you happy.

WWW: What is the worst fashion advice you've been given?

JM: For me personally, anything that errs on the side of feminine.

WWW: How do you curate your wardrobe to fit into a suitcase when you travel?

JM: Everything black. One black trouser, one black denim, one black skirt, one black cashmere sweater, one black T-shirt, one black tank. Mix and match everything. 

WWW: What do you always pack in your suitcase?

JM: I usually end up packing more toiletries than clothes or shoes. It probably takes up half of the weight limit, no joke. I pack a full skincare regimen, various creams and serums and SPFs (Australian sun is serious business!) and every kind of mask, plus I always pack a scented candle no matter what. Other than that, a compact iPhone charger I can put in my purse. I never ever, ever travel without one, I'm so paranoid of getting lost and being without Google Maps.

WWW: What Australian designers do you think are the ones to watch in 2016?

JM: Dion Lee and Ellery have been steadily gaining more global attention. I'm just waiting for them to open US stores!

Last month, we showed you the pieces every Sydney girl wears to stay cool in summer—so we thought it only right to showcase the items that fill up our Melbourne sisters’ wardrobes. As we mainly work from our offices in Sydney, we tracked down Melbourne-based fashion forecaster for Sportsgirl, Jessica Burrow, for her insights.

“Melbournians are the masters of effortlessly stylish layering. When it comes to summer dressing, comfort and light layering is key to ensure you’re not freezing inside the office, while temperatures are scorching outside. Aka: typical Melbourne weather in summer. Summer office dressing is all about looking fashionable yet effortlessly cool, top to toe, and these are the pieces that are always #trending.”

Scroll through Instagram on a sunny day and no doubt you’ll come across at least one girl with either a flat-lay or selfie featuring the Ellery et Graz Quixote Classic Cateye Frames. And it's no wonder they are so popular. The slight cat-eye shape and multitude of colours on offer means you’re guaranteed to find a pair in the collection that will suit you.

Designer Kym Ellery collaborated with sunglasses master Graz for the first Ellery x Graz collection in 2010. Not overly trend driven, with a slight ‘50s shape and seasonal colours, these shades have certainly stood the test of time. This is one on-going collaboration we hope never ends.

If there's a singular challenge to summer dressing that rises above them all, it's how to wear stylish looks that are casual enough to be seasonally on-trend—without looking sloppy. 

It can be especially tricky nowadays, when the undone look is very in. Our resident style expert, Banana Republic creative director Marissa Webb, tends to excel at achieving a perfectly polished casual summer look—so, naturally, we consulted her.

"You have to be able to adjust according to your lifestyle," Webb told us. "I'm in a business where I'm running around being very physical and the next minute in a serious meeting where I need to look polished. It gets a little tricky at times. Most importantly, keep the words contrast, contradiction, and opposites in mind when pulling together your casual yet polished look."

Toss a well-tailored blazer over your casual jeans and T-shirt to add polish to a casual outfit.

Create a simple formula that works for you. For example, if you know you want to wear comfortable denim, try to find something a bit dressier on the top. If you know you want to wear your favourite "get it done" T-shirt, pick something more tailored to wear over it.

I like the contrast of heels with casual bottoms. I'll often style my easy cargo pants, denim, or soft lounge pants with a heel.

Mix it up with something dressy and something casual, like a feminine lace blouse with cargo pants or denim. I find the contrast more interesting, and it's also a great way to not be over- or under-dressed.

Have fun with your accessories and don't underestimate them. Stack up your necklaces or bracelets with your favourite easy T-shirt for the right mix of polished casual.

You've been there—stepping out of your house in a cute outfit, only for it to be completely ruined by sweat, sweat, and more sweat on that first 90-degree day. Trust us: You're not alone. Aside from simply wearing nothing, it seems almost impossible to look your best in the heat of summer. But surviving without sacrificing your style is doable—if you dress smartly.

To pinpoint exactly what we mean, we enlisted celeb stylists Jen Rade and Alex Sweterlitsch to give their expert tips on exactly what to wear for humid weather.

Keep scrolling to make the next few months a little more bearable for you.

"Stick to shapes that fall away from the body. The less fabric touching your skin, the cooler you'll feel," Sweterlitsch said. 

"Avoid synthetic fabrics at all costs; they'll cling and stick and make you miserable," Sweterlitsch said.

"I say this as a girl who wears black almost daily, but it really helps to avoid dark colours when it's blazing-hot outside. Think like the Navy and invest in some 'summer whites.' A nice white fit-and-flare dress with colourful ballet flats or sandals is cute for work or a weekend afternoon. Prints are also great at hiding sweat marks," Rade said.

"It matters what shoes you choose—heat escapes through our heads and our feet, so opt for canvas shoes if you have to wear closed-toe. Otherwise, wear chic sandals as much as possible," Sweterlitsch said.

"Dresses and tops with cutouts are not only fun but they have built-in ventilation," Rade said. 

"Avoid tight jeans! Try lightweight denim in looser shapes like boyfriend or wide-leg to keep cool," Rade said. 

"Sports bras are great for wicking moisture from the skin, and bras can be SO hot and irritating in the summer. Plus a cute, colourful one can be layered under a linen blouse or a chambray shirt," Rade said.

We’re no stranger to the sartorial power of accessories, such as the silk scarf.
