  • When the mercury rises, you want to look hot — not feel it. Here are three summer essentials guaranteed to heat up your wardrobe while keeping you cool.

Our picks: wedge sandals, a fedora and a small bag. And to avoid a makeup meltdown, tuck a CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain COVERGIRL OUTLAST LIPSTAIN WILD BERRY WINK 440CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain - Wild Berry WinkDefines your kisser with a pen-like precision applicator.

    Surprisingly, a printed tank top can be the most versatile item in your summer wardrobe. Whether you wear it with shorts, a slim skirt or cropped pants, it can be easily dressed up or down, and an eye-catching print means that the rest of your outfit can be simple. For a casual outing, flat sandals, a messenger bag and glam-looking shades are all the extras required. Omitting unnecessary fragrance from your summer skin-care routine is a good idea too, and now your trusted anti-aging face cream comes in an unscented version.

    Even in oppressive heat, you won’t feel like a wilting flower in a skirt this elegant. Its airy fabric and softly pleated details will sway with your every move and help you float through record-breaking temperatures. Carry that carefree vibe through to your accessories. Try a multi-strand necklace in a vibrant hue, and mix’n’match textures and patterns in coordinating (but not matching) heels. Get your hair in on a little swish action, too.
