One prerequisite for my travel clothing for hot weatheris that it is loose, light and can be washed at night and worn in the morning. Normally whatever I pack is crease resistant.
I always wear this t-shirt for inconvenient travel. Loads of people comment on it and it gets my feelings across perfectly
This is a handmade pure cotton empire-line dress that is so comfy in the heat. It has a built in ‘petticoat’, which is also light. The length is absolutely perfect. One person has stopped me to ask where I bought it.
A transparent swim top that is a perfect cover up to and from the beach. It does not prevent burning when the sun is sharp, so sunscreen is a must.
Flour sack long shorts that are so comfortable to wear in the heat. Everything I wear in hot weather has an elasticated waist
Wrap silk dress that dries in minutes in the heat
A gorgeous silk dress that washes and dries easily. I bumped into this friend, Janine, at a market. I had not seen her since we were in school together. It was such a wonderful surprise I almost burst into tears.
My trusty Me369 skirt that I have had for years. It has pockets and washes and dries like a dream. It does wrinkle a bit but that only matters to me when I am in the office.
This is a silk skirt that is made from recycled Indian saris. It is very light and washes and dries in a flash
An ancient nightgown from the 1950s that I have had for years. It is pure cotton with pink trim and tiny pink polka dots. It is not that attractive but perfect for hot weather.
This is a cotton dress that is really easy to wear. It is shorter than the skirts and dresses I normally wear (calf-length rather than ankle-length) but is rather flattering anyway.
Pink cotton flour sack trousers (though these are made from coffee sacks)
One of a kind ‘prairie pants’ which I bought during a hot spell.
Print leggings on a cooler misty day
Cotton paisley pyjama pants. I slept on top of the bed because it was too hot but then I got cool and rolled myself up in my husbands half of the covers! I always sleep in this position, despite the fact that it looks uncomfortable. My heels look awful from walking barefoot and in flip flops so much.
I mainly wore gold Ipanema
And these brown Billabong from the factory shop ($90 reduced to $9)
