You've been there—wearing a cute outfit only for it to be completely ruined by sweat, sweat, and more sweat on that first 90-degree day of the summer. 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. When it's unbearably hot out, we often fantasize about wearing nothing at all. The next best thing? Pieces that fall away from your body, according to Rade and Sweterlitsch. Think loose-fitting jumpsuits and flowing dresses. It's also important to pay attention to materials, the stylists advise. Choose cotton and linen over synthetics like nylon. You'll thank us later.

"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 colors when it's blazing hot outside. A nice white fit-and-flare dress with colorful ballet flats or sandals is cute. 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 to keep cool," Rade said.
Well, if you're going to break a sweat from the humidity anyway, why not embrace it by wearing activewear?
