So summer is finally upon us, and now that we are dealing with the sweltering heat it is important to learn how to dress cool but stay looking sexy.

Go Short and Sweet

The maxi dress is still as popular as ever, but if you want to look fashionable and still stay cool and comfortable in the warm weather, a sweet, sexy sundress is one style that really appeals to all.

There is so much versatility and variety with the sundress, as you can find them in all lengths, cuts, colors and styles.

Another advantage of the sundress is that women of all ages can wear them, from girls in their teens to working mothers, the right sundress always looks great.

Women are not the only one that love the sundress, as men get pretty excited over it as well. It is basically the perfect combination of sweet and sexy, the fit making it sexy but the fabric keeping it sweet.

Sundresses are flying off the shelves this year, as they have so many years in the past, and they will really never go out of style.

Comfort is key when it comes to sundresses, and because of this they are often made out of lightweight materials such as cotton or lycra, usually done in floral patterns and gingham checks, but there are literally hundreds of different patterns and designs to choose from.

Another great thing about the sundress is that you can easily take it from day to night, making it the perfect everyday wear for the summer.

Throw it on with a pair of flip flops to make it casual for a trip to the beach or brunch with your girlfriends, and then spice it up with a cute pair of heels or espadrilles and sexy clutch for the nighttime.

Completely multi-purpose, cool and comfortable, every woman should have at least a few sundresses as staples in their wardrobe.

Make Accessories Hot to Keep Your Cool

Accessories are always fun, and great for finishing off an ensemble.

The best thing about accessories is that they keep you looking sexy and hot but without raising your temperature.

A pair of aviator sunglasses or an oversized jeweled bracelet will be perfect for summer and complete your outfits but without leaving you feeling smothered.

It is important that you choose the right accessories for the outfit, otherwise you will throw the whole thing off.

With a sundress for instance, you will not want to overdo the jewelry. A pair of simple sunglasses, maybe a flower in the hair - sticking with just one or two bold pieces is the best idea.

If you are going out for the night on the other hand you can really play around a bit more. Pair a sexy dress with a pearl necklace or a denim skirt and blouse with an elegant updo.

One great idea is to collect some seashells, then choose the ones you like best and glue a bobby pin sideways onto each of them and use as decorative hair clips.

The key here is balance, and you never want to be too casual or overly jazzed up. Summertime is the time for doing style in comfort, and there is no better way to add to your own personal style than with the right accessories.

Don’t Forget Your Feet

Of course you can’t forget about your feet when it comes to summer.

Sure, walking around in barefoot may be fine on the beach, but for the day to day you are going to need to keep your feet cool but sexy and stylish.

You don’t need to wear high heels every day and night, but having a couple pairs in your collection is important.

If you feel like a splurge, check out the line of Jimmy Choo strappy sandals for this season.

From grecian to bejeweled, these sandals are really out of this world and although they may be a bit pricey, they are well worth it for the versatility they offer.

It is always good to have a pair or two of flip flops, whether you just want to wear them around the house and pool or out to a comfortable breakfast some summer morning.

The thong sandal is one of the hottest shoe styles this summer, Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs have a fantastic collection of these for you to drool over.

The most important thing here is that you realize you do not have to dress frumpy or overly skimpy just to deal with the warm summer weather.

Go to the right designers, choose the right fashions, and you will be stunning in the sunlight all summer long.
