The Blogger Guide to Summer Style: Be #CoolerInCotton

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

Nothing says summer style like rocking a signature look that goes from the beach, happy hour, BBQs, music festivals, road trips, rooftops, date nights, and girls' night. That's why I turn to my 100% cotton jean jacket as my statement piece to complete any outfit to stay cool, chic, and stylish this summer. It's a staple for any fashion blogger and fashionista's closet.

3 Reasons Why I'll Be #CoolerInCotton This Summer

Reason #1: Cotton goes great with every outfit
My 100% cotton jean jacket goes with every outfit in my closet and adds a bit of a fashionable twist to the look. I can pair my jean jacket with all of my favorite summer styles from my cotton spring dresses, floral print rompers, crochet shorts with vintage tees, jean shorts with tank tops, and skinny jeans. Even when I'm dressed up for the evening, I can throw on my jean jacket for a hipster look to make the look my own.

Reason #2: Cotton keeps me both stylish and comfortable
As my signature fabric, cotton doesn't just keep me looking fashionable and stylish, it also keeps me cool. It's usually blended into the pieces that I purchase and in the looks that are already hanging in my closet. The fabric is super breathable and light weight, which makes it perfect for hot summer days in the sun. But it also doubles as the perfect layer during the cool L.A. nights. It's the perfect signature piece for layering for both style and comfort.

Reason #3: Cotton is super easy to care for while always being on-trend
Since I'm always on-the-go, I need my signature piece, my jean jacket, and fabric, cotton, to be easy to take care without any hassles. The majority of cotton and cotton-blended pieces don't require dry cleaning and I just wash my pieces at home. My pieces look great for longer as well since cotton durable, doesn't keep odors, super breathable, and is a natural fiber.

Fashion tip: When your'e on the hunt for cotton pieces, don't be afraid to opt for cotton-rich fabrics, since cotton blends are just as fabulous and comfortable as 100% cotton pieces. Shop for pieces that are 60% cotton or higher for all apparel and 90% or higher for denim, and don’t forget to double-check your labels for cotton.
