The insane weather lately! Heat, humidity, storms. Usually Aberdeen just goes with cold and damp all year. So what to wear.
Had to hit the Oxfam shops and the sales hard to cope with this new phenomenon. Also as I have a new job so a bit of smart casual is called for.
I’ve been wearing...
Linen is the best material for heat. It always feels cool and seems to absorb and deodorise sweat. I have a grey linen floppy skirt, a black linen dress and a new green linen shirt which have been in heavy rotation. I am bidding on another shirt on ebay.
Pastels, especially white, work in the heat. Make sure tshirts are not too flimsy so you don’t sunburn through them. I don’t usually like white but my white and blue floral dress from a charity shop in Ballater is a lifesaver.
Sandals, I got great pale pink and metallic ones in M and S. They must be insanely comfy as your feet will swell and rub. I bought some in Asda but they wouldn't stay on due to wrong straps. Cheap shoes can be a disaster.
Loose trousers, I bought a pair of baggy black crepey trousers in the sales. They are very unflattering but so practical, especially when I spent the whole day climbing spiral stairs and fighting through junk in attics at a castle in my freelance job.
What do you wear in the heat?

Maxi dresses all summer long.
However, we must have gotten your summer here. It's suddenly cool and damp, as opposed to our usual 100 degree mid-summer temps.
