What to Wear on a Hot Summer Day with Talbots

Thank You, Talbots, for sponsoring this post

I was in New York late last month for the day. It was as hot as the sun so I wanted to wear an outfit that was polished but comfortable. I grabbed an old shirt dress in my closet, and it was perfect.

It prompted me to go on the hunt for a few more—something that is easy to throw on but looks like you put in some effort and doesn’t cling in the heat.

So I shopped at Talbots Semi-Annual Red Door Sale, where you can get 40% off markdowns, and found a head-to-toe outfit that was exactly what I wanted and at a fantastic price.

We love Talbots for their quality, size-inclusive array of merchandise, and right now you can find buy now, wear now pieces that will help round out your warm weather wardrobe.

Let me show you what I found: a classic lightweight linen dress with a pretty seasonal bag and block heeled sandals that are not only chic but shockingly comfortable.

What to Wear on a Hot Summer Day with Talbots

A simple linen shirt dress is the epitome of hot weather, one-step dressing and you can go anywhere in this. From a lunch with friends, a dinner out, a baby or bridal shower, even work.

Available in Misses, Petite and Plus, I am 5’10 and wearing the 8.

Note: If you need to shorten the skirt, a hem would be an easy alteration that you could get done at your local dry cleaner.

I love that it has pockets and the belt ties a nice bow.

But, if you want to change it up you can remove it and add a leather belt.

Then I found these quilted leather block heel sandals and they are heaven. The braid detail adds just the right amount of texture to make them feel special.

I’m a big fan of a block heel, I find them so much easier to walk in and these happen to be incredibly comfortable. Plus, I love this tan color they are calling “Havana.” Also available in black, indigo and pink.

You can really see the detail of the shoes here. I highly recommend, especially since they are currently an extra 50% off.

Finally, to finish the look I found this versatile crossbody bag. Above I tucked the straps in to make it a clutch.

Talbot’s Red Door Event ends on July 21st!
