Traveling to tropical countries as a fashion writer is one thing, but living in the tropics provides a much wider concept. You get a superior stance on just how splendid the warmer part of the world is. With sun, sea, and sand all around and for most a more hassle-free life, the tropics have it all. All my life, I have lived in a tropical country. I just love the warm weather that we experience almost year round. Even during the wet season, we still have pleasant sunny days.

Moreover, having only two seasons in a year makes it pretty easy to upgrade your wardrobe with various trendy outfit choices. You only have to consider clothes for the dry season, or those which you can wear to keep yourself protected during the wet season.

Fortunately, tropical weather is warm and dry on most days so, I can wear skirts and shorts blissfully. (I am not a big fan of jeans or track pants!) In the humid tropics, it is preferable to wear lightweight, breathable attire. Wearing loose clothes in cotton, linen and other natural fabrics should be on top of your list; but that doesn’t mean you cannot dress fashionably. All you need is to find the right clothing according to your personal preferences.

Here are a few lovely tropical outfit ideas which will help you survive hot weather with style and confidence:

Sleeveless T-shirt

Sometimes a trend is so simple that anyone can get a hang of it without being overwhelmed. One such trend is the sleeveless T-shirt. No arm sleeves to deal with, just a comfortable t-shirt that’s ready to go all day long; makes sleeveless tee a basic staple in the tropics. Round neck sleeveless tees in stripes or solid colours like white, cream, black, and grey are the most popular choices.

The best part about wearing a sleeveless tee is that you can wear it with anything, and it will look great. My personal favourite is to pair them with shorts, but a jeans or a denim skirt is also a great choice when it comes to rock hot weather fashion trends.

Mesh Tops

Mesh tops are a luxurious take that is not only pretty but functional as well.  Lightweight and breathable, mesh tops offer optimal comfort and style for a humid climate. It has cooling properties almost similar to cotton, and it also absorbs sweat; all these factors make mesh tops a perfect hot weather outfit. Whether you are headed to brunch, dinner, or on a date, these versatile mesh tops do it all.

If styled appropriately, a mesh top can be a convenient layering piece. You can wear it under a dress or as a single layer. If wearing only a mesh top, always remember to wear a pretty bralette or a corset inside as mesh is practically see-through fabric. With a variety of colors and styles available, mesh tops have a little something to offer for everyone.

Shorts

Always torn between wanting to look chic, stylish, or feel comfortable? Just grab your favorite pair of shorts, and you are good to go!  Shorts are subtly sexy and are unquestionably the flawless outfit when it comes to staying cool in hot weather. Whether you are out for a camping trip, shopping, or just chilling on the beachside; shorts are one of the most comfortable items of clothing for tropical climates.

With numerous cuts and styles available these days, they are adaptable and can be fashioned in various ways. A simple t-shirt paired with denim shorts is a perfect match! You can also go for a lightweight cotton jacket and a woven hat for that impeccable tropical vibe.

Crop Tops

What could be better than wearing crop tops in tropical countries? Crop tops are versatile pieces and can be paired up with various options from shorts, skirts to baggy pants. The best part? You can take this trendy and modish attire from day to night with a simple swap.

From the beach party to a night out with friends; crop tops in lightweight and breathable fabrics are the absolute quintessential wardrobe staple when it comes to styling hot weather fashion trends.

Jumpsuits

Not just for the beach, jumpsuits add style to every outfit! You just can’t go wrong with them. Jumpsuits are a great, versatile, and comfortable piece of clothing; perfect for throwing on when everything else feels like too much.

You can wear them with almost anything from sandals or boots to slippers and yet look stylish. I think nothing can beat a jumpsuit when it comes to spending those long days in the sun. A perfect tropical day outfit.

Maxi Dresses

How great is it to feel beautiful and comfortable in your favourite maxi dress! All thanks to adaptable length options. The maxi dress complements any look and is perfect for almost any occasion. Whether it is a barbecue, pool party, or picnic; with maxi dresses, everything turns out to be way more fun.

For a boho look, opt for a sleeveless maxi dress in bright floral prints. Whereas a tie-front maxi dress with playful details like ruffles and laces is a great option for a dinner date. Maxi dresses in solid colors like black, grey, navy blue, and white are always super easy to dress up. All you need is a nice pair of sandals and those stunning party-ready earrings. Do I need to say more?

Off the Shoulder

Off-the-shoulder tops and dresses are simply sexy but at the same time never too revealing. I love styling a cold shoulder top with wide-leg trousers and of course, you can’t go wrong with an off-the-shoulder dress and a pair of block heel sandals.

They add a glamour touch to your personality without succumbing to the pitfalls of overdoing it. Whether you are in the mood for some skin show or just want some glitz in your closet, ‘off-the-shoulder’ is a great trend to endure hot weather in the tropics with all the panache.
