It’s a daily battle trying to stay cool in a part of the world where temperatures soar during the summer season. You’re probably envisioning summer staples such as sundresses, short-sleeved tops, and shorts — but what about our region’s more modest ladies who wear veils? Skin-baring numbers are out of the question, especially in public. The solution? Light materials like cotton and linen and loose silhouettes, keeping you cool and fashion-forward during these blazing months.
