What to Wear When It's Boiling Hot Out and You Just Can't
There’s no time like the middle of July to talk about beating the summer heat. I mean, am I the only one who starts complaining within the first five minutes of leaving my apartment? It’s really hot! Nonetheless, there are always things you can do to make it better. And by things you can do, I mean things you can wear.
Think: breezy dresses, polished shorts, easy jumpsuits, and cute skirts. Sounds like a no-brainer, but keeping this in mind and resisting the urge to wear your go-to tight jeans every day can really make a difference. So to jump-start your warm-weather plan of attack, I’ve rounded up all the above and all for under $50 with a little help from our very own Who What Wear collection for Target. Simply continue on to shop each category and for a little outfit inspiration along the way.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
