And, remember that black clothing, even in lightweight fabrics, feels HOT in the sunshine. I am always surprised by how many women I see wearing black pants in summer. I wear a lot of white, beige, and pastels in cotton and linen. Love them! Great video Marie - Anne
It’s 100* here on my farm in southern Idaho. The weeds love it! I’m still wearing skirts as I weed the garden. My favorite way to cool off? Run cold water in my farmhouse sink and dunk my head in! No make up... the chickens don’t care! And yes to a large brimmed hat!
Ask me about hot weather right now is 86 and feels 97. To beat the hot weather cotton and linen, sandals, SPF, no make up and a chignon this is my style
Love it when you laugh! I appreciate how toy encourage women to look our natural best...not trying too hard with our fashion or makeup. We can be mature and lovely without trying to be younger but our best selves. Beauty and comfort... thank you!
I live in Western Australia and can be very hot in summer and I agree entirely with all Marie-Anne’s advice. Cool flowing dresses sandals hair up, hats a absolute must as well as Sunblock
I live in Winnipeg, Canada, right in the middle of the country on the prairies. We have severely cold winters and hot humid summers. All of your hot weather suggestions are great, Marie-Anne. I would add 'wear white' and always bring a water bottle and sunscreen in the car.
I re-discovered some authentic vintage clothing in my wardrobe, which I used to wear in the '80 and '90. They are very comfortable and original. It's a pleasure to wear them and to feel unique 😊
@@MarieAnneLecoeur these garments are a pleasure to wear, because of the quality (cotton, linen, silk) and for the details. Some of them were self-made on Burda patterns. I will surprise you if I tell you I am still using patterns of those times for nowaday clothing, for example a blouse from a 1989 Burda I am starting right now, although I am getting lazier and lazier lately 🤗🍀 The fabric is a white cotton with black dots 😊
You've come a long way in conveying your energy and positivity of your personality in your videos proving again that you practice what you say about self development and introspective/constructive work!! This video is practical and worth revisiting every hot summer season (40C/110F)! you are thorough and cover every possible topic! You are still very humorous and easily laugh at yourself which makes you attractive and approachable (great reminder to all of us)! Thank you,as always, for your authenticity and genuine goal to be helpful, supportive and inclusive! You uncover the many layers of the seemingly superficial topic of the 'external.'
Great video 😍 I live in southern Italy and our summers are pretty hot 30° to 40° so I live in cotton linen skirts and dresses all summer long 😚 I noticed even natural hemp is a good fabric for hot days...it has more consistency than linen but it's very breathable 😊
You are so amusing while imparting valuable information! It gets over 100 degrees where I live & shorts & capris wrinkle instantly. Skirts can be cool & look sexy with sandals & open toed heels. I have embraced ironing lately to use natural fabrics & look good! Thanks, Marie-Anne
I wear sleeveless cotton tops instead of tshirts & canvas tennis shoes. & I have a kiddie pool in the backyard (I don't have kids). But I like to sit it in after a long day with a glass of wine & music. Soothing end to the day.
Thank you so much for this video!! I live in the American Southwest desert. Today's expected forecast is 107° Fahrenheit. Hard to feel chic but I do the best I can! Your tips on linen, skirts and spray misting will go a long ways this summer. Thanks again, Marie -Anne!
@@MarieAnneLecoeur My first thought was desinvolte must be a hair product!😂 The actual meaning is so much better! It’s a wonderful message, especially during this time so many are re-evaluating what is important. Everyone needs to watch this video! 🥰
Merci for this video , Marie-Anne. I was in need of a video like this as we head into the summer months in Australia. I am in a part of the country where the humidity makes things quite uncomfortable.
I've been buying cotton and linen items for my summer capsule wardrobe since it's in the 80's and even 90's, with high humidity, here in central Florida on the coast. Definitely makes a big difference in how comfortable I feel!
Here is Los Angeles area , no many places to go in these weeks, sanitary crisis is really bad. Just to try to stay cool at home as much as I can. Cotton and loose clothes. For some reason linen make me itching . No makeup . I keep my hair short and plenty of fluids. Sending positivity to everyone 🤗🤗🌴🌴🌴
Bonjour Marie-Anne ! A tip for hot weather if you carry water around, fill a small bottle half way up with water and pop in the freezer. When it has turned to a big chunk of ice, fill the rest with fresh water. The ice will eventually dissolve but the water will stay colder longer. Fortunately up to now there has been no canicule/heat wave in France this year!
I would have liked to see some of your hot weather outfits Marie-Anne. I find it very helpful and inspiring to see what you are wearing. The pretty young models in your video are nice to look at but I can't really relate to them as much.
Hello Marie-Anne I feel as if we’ve just met for coffee and are discussing ways of staying cool in the summer. I thought ‘and what about perfume’ a moment before you said it. Today I am wearing a pretty patterned Boden dress paired with only simple earrings. I don’t know if I’m chic or not, I do know I am cool and very comfortable, and I love a good hat too 👒😘😘
I'm starting to add more linen and linen blend into my wardrobe to help fight the heat. It's lightweight and breezy but lasts well. I also agree that summer is the time to go with light makeup and hair off the neck. Every little bit helps. :)
You covered the subject really well.. All the tips wer great but my favorite amongst all was to change clothes n take frequent showers.. It will make a huge difference.. Keep uploading we look forward to your videos :-)
Weather here in the Cincinnati OH area is hot and very humid. Cotton sundresses and swing style dresses are so much cooler than shorts or slacks of any length. OH, for those ocean breezes !
Good advice Marie-Anne. On very hot days I find difficult to find comfortable clothes that also look smart and stay fresh-looking. I’ve given up on makeup in the summertime. On humid days it just sweats off me. I do wear spf and I try to apply a tinted moisturiser but even that sometimes slides off. On extremely hot days I always carry a face flannel in my bag, to dab my face dry. A spritz with a facial mineral water is always refreshing. I always wear my hair up in the summer because I can’t stand hair around my neck when it’s hot. You are correct about perfume. I’m not sure if it is the alcohol or a chemical reaction but perfume can cause pigmentation when exposed to the sun.
Good morning Madame! Right now it is in the 80's and 90's here and humid. I wish that I liked linen more but I can't stand the wrinkling, it just bothers me, so I wear a lot of cotton and cotton jersey to stay cool, and fortunately the heat bothers me only minimally. Your tips on staying cool in the heat were all good ideas. Thank you for the video! Have a wonderful weekend.
Loved the black straw hat. Very classy. Just bought a couple of linen mix shirts from a supermarket range. I don't have a lot of money so I have to try to be chic on a budget x 😘
Hi Marie -Anne - very true. Since following your channel I have saved money as I am more mindful when buying clothes. I did however splash out on a beautiful blouse from Lily Silk x 😘
Bonjour, Marie-Anne Where I live, which is in the Baltics, the weather is changeable. At the moment it is really hot for me and I have to wear loose light clothes. But the weather forecast says it'll be rainy and windy in two days. So I must be ready for everything.
I have two linen tops that I love wearing in summer - both are from Monoprix and easy to iron! Temperatures where I live in Spain are mid 30s at the moment (90 +) so this video was timely! Merci Marie-Anne.
@@allaboutyoupodcast2505 Hola Sheila. I live in Jumilla, which is in Murcia region. At the moment though I am in quarantine in Greenwich, London, as I am visiting my children. It's a lot cooler here!
Je vous en prie! Love this video! Also yesterday i bought a citrous body spray. Your advise not to use fragrance now came on time. (i ve got 74 75 fragrances) this time just one Je vous remerci ancore!
Bonjour Marie-Anne. All great tips. During our heatwave (usually 2 weeks in July or August), it hasn't gotten too hot yet where I live in Canada, then I prefer to wear a loose dress with no waist of a kurta and loose baggy shorts. Great video. Merci.
Love your beautiful silk top!!! Evain sounds good and could be the answer for those of us living in hot climates. Would have loved the weather in Normandie! Some people just flourish in hot climate, but to me it is not very comfortable and yes, most of us living in hot climates do a change of clothes as soon as we get home from work. And yes, one has to be aware of those panda eyes!! One can look very withered if not doing "damage control" during the day!!! Viscose is also a light material that I find is resionably breathable. Loved your video, thanks Marie-Anne (had a chuckle about the "smelly feet!" Humor is always good!!).
Merci Marie-Anne.... in Ottawa Canada today + 38 C.... it is so warm it is unbearable at times...Thank you for the video, but I would love to see what you use on your face for summer ex: what type of sunscreen, make up ect....Merci du Canada xx
Bonjour Marie-Anne! This video was full of wonderful advice. I live in the US where humidity and heat from May to October is a way of life. The idea of changing is great! When I'm done with gardening in the morning, I cool off first, cleanse, and select dresses that are comfortable for the afternoon. However, I never thought of changing if I feel hot from errands,etc. I do use the minimum of make-up. Sunscreen is a must of course. I will remember concerning the non-alcohol scents and invest in the cooling sprays. Great video. Keep up the good work. Freddie
We have a saying in 🇨🇦 “it’s not the heat. It’s the humidity!” Today it’s 30 degrees but the humidex makes it feel like 35 (😓). Light, comfortable clothes (linen, cotton), sunglasses, sandals and lots of water. Air conditioning is a must in Toronto!
So great to check in with you again Marie- Anne. Great advice as usual. I have just written a songbook and I mentioned you to my fans to go to for style tips. You are the best. When it’s published I’ll send you a copy. Thank you for all you do xxx
Linen is lovely-now the bamboo blends are cool and environmental. I never go in the sun without a floppy hat..more women should do it bc it looks amazing and protects from too much sun. Yes yes to SPF!!! There is much less ozone layer than years ago so we must wear spf. I don’t wear much makeup so if I rinse my face with cool water, I don’t need to reapply makeup, but I do add more spf👍🏻 Those sandals u showed were gorgeous btw😍💗💐
Here in Andalucia, Spain our average daily temperatures are 38-42! At that point I tell you barely even linen helps. I think that's why we stay inside and have siesta. I love to wear hats, but the issue is that for some reason, no one else wears hats here and people always stare when you were a sun hat in the city haha.
I've worn linen and cotton in the summer for decades now - I live near Toronto , Canada where we are setting records for the most days over 30 degrees this summer . I'm hopeless in the heat - my face turns purple and I look like somebody threw a bucket of water on my hair . Maybe it's a Canadian thing . I'm staying in the AC .
It's been very humid here in Midwest USA. I feel sticky and gross just from walking from the house to the car. I just recently started purchasing linen pants as I find ones I can afford. I must find some flattering tops now to go with them.
Dear Mary Ann, I live in in a 35 degree country, I use a fan and a parasols because the humidity is too high even for a hat. It is also important to wear light colours during sun hours, since dark colours absorb the sun.
I live in Tampa, Florida where the weather is humid & tropical about 8 to 9 months of the year. 90s+ degrees with a feel like of 100+. How can we possibly look chic? If you have ideas on this please do a video for "tropical climates!" Thank You so much!
Bonjour Marie Anne, Thank you thank you thank you 🙏 At last a video Iv been waiting for, Iv asked so many times on different channel’s about this subject & no response, you have covered everything I wanted to know, I live in uk 🇬🇧 & we can have all four seasons in one day, it dsnt get warmer gradually or cooler it’s bang one or the other ...,,,, So on the warmer days I still want to look chic without the heat, a few weeks ago I looked like something ready for a Halloween party, my makeup had run & mascara was stinging my eyes, all I’d had on my face was my lotions on my face spf & a tinted moisturiser & where the beads of sweat had run down my face I had stripes running down my cheek’s,not the look I’d gone for or wanted. I was so uncomfortable 🥵 I do take a water bottle with me, to keep me hydrated & blotting paper from Lancome & a face spray plus my Panama hat & my sunglasses, Truly love this video TFS, A HUGE THUMBS UP 👍 LOVE from across the channel 🇬🇧🙏🙏🇬🇧
Marie-Anne Lecoeur thank you for checking out my channel that’s very gracious of you! I was raised in Spain and then moved to the US so whenever I see your videos it sort of reminds me of home. Europe is amazing to grow up in...pastry shops are the thing I miss the most. A bientot cherie!!
It’s 104F (around 40C) here right now. It’s brutal. I don’t know if you mentioned it, but it’s very important to drink plenty of water. We are active very early in the morning, and after the sun goes down. Don’t forget the pets! Dogs and cats need plenty of water and shade. Horses and cows, too. We have to hose the horses and put them in front of big fans to cool them off. NO PETS OR HUMANS LEFT IN HOT CARS! Thank you, Marie-Anne, for this great video!
Great tips marie-Anne! I love linen and light cotton in the summer months. i tend to skip base make-up, and i just settle for lipstick, mascara, sunscreen and i'm out the door.
Hi great topic I dont wear my rings in summer my fingers swell My pet hate rubber jandles they are not comfortable at all to me or the look. Love long maxi dresses skirts leather soft sandals.
I think I would love to live in Normandy. In DC, it gets very hot and humid for up to 6-7 months a year. I mean a zillion degrees with 10000% humidity. I sweat more than any woman I know and it's mostly from my face and head. It's so gross and embarrassing. I can't keep makeup on. My hair goes frizzy no matter what I do. I don't drive so I end up walking in this weather. I wear very light, sleeveless tops or cap sleeves, and mostly skirts or dresses. I wear sandals. It's gotten so casual at work in DC that up to a point you can still dress lightly and be appropriate. Where I grew up, in Oregon, summers were so much milder.
That’s a brilliant answer....summer failed to download....I’ll tell my family...they will love this! Keep those posts c9ming please..they’re part of my weekly life now! ❤️
Do you have diet for staying slim or why do french women not get fat? Thank you so much......i love linen-blend fabric .Can you show a video on long hair up do.love your videos........
Over 40 degree days is not uncommon in our summer In the sub tropics . Staying out of the sun is key and linen is the answer as is looser clothing...... sp50 is a must
It's plus 30 here with high humidity. Hair short or tied back from face, minimize make-up, SPF, brow pencil and lipstick (although now skip the lipstick with mask wearing), never leave house without a hat (my favorite is a wide brim straw hat with little wooden bees trinkets I've attached to the brim. And a few large hair pins to anchor hat to hair in case it's a bit windy), my favourite sunglasses, sandals and pedicure all summer, switch over to linens, my preference is long and flowy dresses, skirts, wide linen trousers, layered with the thinnest natural cotton slips I can find (always looking for natural slips, including ones for pants). Always a large linen wrap or shawl (to block the sun or warm up a bit if inside and the AC is cranked up) and a cotton handkerchief in my bag or pocket to wipe away "the glow". And if I remember..a collapsible hand fan, a small spritzer bottle with cucumber or rose water. No perfume in heat and humidity please..
I live in a Northern state with cold snowy winters, but the summers are hot and mostly humid - 30 - 36 Celsius. I have no air conditioning except in my bedroom so style goes out the window when it is very oppressive. That's the time I wear shorts, tank tops or loose flowing sleeveless dresses and flip flops. No makeup (it just melts) and there's no controlling my hair so it gets pulled back with a hairband. Sadly, no wine because it just makes you hotter. :-(
Oh my lol, In our tropical climate we already know what to wear loose clothing. I would never consider a water spray because the humidity is very high and the temperature is nearly 100 Fahrenheit. I cannot even wear cotton knits, only woven fabrics and gauzes. We live in air conditioning.
”... smell”..? Oh for sure... but I use (Vietnamese) cinnamon soles in ALL my summer shoes... antiperspirant and antibacterial, a must! ( for me that is...)
Ha ha! Swelly and smelly feet for sure! It is super hot in summer where I live. I find it hard to find these fabrics but I definitely need to renew my search!
I love linen, but oh my goodness! It is hard to iron, LOL!! I need a better iron, I think. You know, it never dawned on me to not use fragrances with alcohol in the summer. Makes sense! And yes, wear sunscreen!!!
Robin Moore I use lots of fabric softener in the rinse which I do by hand after the wash. Leave it in the bucket for a5mins and then hang out dripping. Easier to iron. Good luck
I live in linen in the summer here in Canada and never iron it, as that destroys the fibres. I machine wash, hang to dry and shape with my finders. It dries with a wonderful texture and lasts many years when treated this way. Ironing destroys linen.
We have places in the USA that have the same climate as your part of France,plus we can wear all that stuff in air conditioner,Right now in the Southern USA we are having a heatwave and can barley wear clothes.
I’m already cooler just thinking of your suggestions. I wear linen all the time but because of this pandemic, Im not going anywhere except the grocery store or Costco. At home, I wear shorts and woven cotton tanks not tee shirts cuz they’re too clingy. Basically that’s what I sleep in too. Stay indoors with AC. I love the Evian mister that I’ve not thought about. That’s very chic and French. And yes, the straw hat is a must! Thank you for your great ideas. Again a great video😁😅. It’s not that hot yet here in So Calif. But who likes to be sweaty anyway? Someone asked the hair situation, I think you need to embrace it. Whatever it is. ie, head band, hat, conditioner, scarf.
Wear sunscreen all year round. If you are fair haired, please make sure that your scalp is covered with a heat/scarf while you are in the sun (or it's no fun).
During summer I mostly wear cotton clothes, espadrilles and mocassins with invisible socks. Sunblock is a must regardless of the weather. I can’t imagine a day without perfume so my favorite ones are Eau Sauvage and Eau des Merveilles. They are alcohol based but their scent is unbeatable for hot days. By the way both are incredibly unisex! I wish I could have a romance with linen but it seems we hate each other. Marie-Anne, are sandals fine for men to wear in France? I have never been there in summer so I have no idea. I’m a cold weather creature so just imagine my almost constant torture in Costa Rica! I should move to Normandie! Have a heavenly weekend, take care of yourself and yours!😻
And, remember that black clothing, even in lightweight fabrics, feels HOT in the sunshine. I am always surprised by how many women I see wearing black pants in summer. I wear a lot of white, beige, and pastels in cotton and linen. Love them! Great video Marie - Anne
It’s 100* here on my farm in southern Idaho. The weeds love it! I’m still wearing skirts as I weed the garden. My favorite way to cool off?
Run cold water in my farmhouse sink and dunk my head in! No make up... the chickens don’t care! And yes to a large brimmed hat!
How wonderful a farm in Idaho greetings from Lake Garda Italy
wow! I didn't know it got so hot in Idaho! And I know it gets cold in the winter. But I don't guess Idaho's hot season is as long as south Texas.

We have a saying in 🇨🇦 “it’s not the heat. It’s the humidity!” Today it’s 30 degrees but the humidex makes it feel like 35 (😓). Light, comfortable clothes (linen, cotton), sunglasses, sandals and lots of water. Air conditioning is a must in Toronto!
Great advice! 👍❤️💙 Merci Marie-Anne! 😘 Where do you usually go for summer vacation?
So great to check in with you again Marie- Anne. Great advice as usual. I have just written a songbook and I mentioned you to my fans to go to for style tips. You are the best. When it’s published I’ll send you a copy. Thank you for all you do xxx
Marie-Anne Lecoeur mon plaisir cheri😘
Linen is lovely-now the bamboo blends are cool and environmental. I never go in the sun without a floppy hat..more women should do it bc it looks amazing and protects from too much sun. Yes yes to SPF!!! There is much less ozone layer than years ago so we must wear spf. I don’t wear much makeup so if I rinse my face with cool water, I don’t need to reapply makeup, but I do add more spf👍🏻 Those sandals u showed were gorgeous btw😍💗💐
Useful tips thank you.
Here in Andalucia, Spain our average daily temperatures are 38-42! At that point I tell you barely even linen helps. I think that's why we stay inside and have siesta. I love to wear hats, but the issue is that for some reason, no one else wears hats here and people always stare when you were a sun hat in the city haha.
Water spray! Genius!
I've worn linen and cotton in the summer for decades now - I live near Toronto , Canada where we are setting records for the most days over 30 degrees this summer . I'm hopeless in the heat - my face turns purple and I look like somebody threw a bucket of water on my hair . Maybe it's a Canadian thing . I'm staying in the AC .
Oh man, I was in Toronto once in August, felt like I was drowning!
We had last weekend almost 39 C in Los Angeles area . And more summer days ahead 😖😖😖I’m a fall/winter person
It's been very humid here in Midwest USA. I feel sticky and gross just from walking from the house to the car.
I just recently started purchasing linen pants as I find ones I can afford. I must find some flattering tops now to go with them.
I hear you Barbara I live in Ottawa... Valley of humidity lol
Dear Mary Ann, I live in in a 35 degree country, I use a fan and a parasols because the humidity is too high even for a hat. It is also important to wear light colours during sun hours, since dark colours absorb the sun.
I live in Tampa, Florida where the weather is humid & tropical about 8 to 9 months of the year. 90s+ degrees with a feel like of 100+. How can we possibly look chic? If you have ideas on this please do a video for "tropical climates!" Thank You so much!
Great video! Like it! Thank you.
Perfect advice! But, please, show some suggestions of clothes and combinations too. Thank you!
Bonjour Marie Anne,
Thank you thank you thank you 🙏
At last a video Iv been waiting for, Iv asked so many times on different channel’s about this subject & no response, you have covered everything I wanted to know,
I live in uk 🇬🇧 & we can have all four seasons in one day, it dsnt get warmer gradually or cooler it’s bang one or the other ...,,,,
So on the warmer days I still want to look chic without the heat, a few weeks ago I looked like something ready for a Halloween party, my makeup had run & mascara was stinging my eyes, all I’d had on my face was my lotions on my face spf & a tinted moisturiser & where the beads of sweat had run down my face I had stripes running down my cheek’s,not the look I’d gone for or wanted. I was so uncomfortable 🥵
I do take a water bottle with me, to keep me hydrated & blotting paper from Lancome & a face spray plus my Panama hat & my sunglasses,
Truly love this video TFS,
A HUGE THUMBS UP 👍
LOVE from across the channel 🇬🇧🙏🙏🇬🇧
Marie-Anne, great tips! Thank you!
Marie-Anne Lecoeur thank you for checking out my channel that’s very gracious of you! I was raised in Spain and then moved to the US so whenever I see your videos it sort of reminds me of home. Europe is amazing to grow up in...pastry shops are the thing I miss the most. A bientot cherie!!
❤️. 1st. I definitely remember asking ❗️
It’s 104F (around 40C) here right now. It’s brutal. I don’t know if you mentioned it, but it’s very important to drink plenty of water. We are active very early in the morning, and after the sun goes down.
Don’t forget the pets! Dogs and cats need plenty of water and shade. Horses and cows, too. We have to hose the horses and put them in front of big fans to cool them off. NO PETS OR HUMANS LEFT IN HOT CARS!
Thank you, Marie-Anne, for this great video!
Marie-Anne, very glad you are in a cooler climate! Again, thank you for another wonderful video! Have a lovely day!
Great tips marie-Anne! I love linen and light cotton in the summer months. i tend to skip base make-up, and i just settle for lipstick, mascara, sunscreen and i'm out the door.
Hi great topic I dont wear my rings in summer my fingers swell
My pet hate rubber jandles they are not comfortable at all to me or the look. Love long maxi dresses skirts leather soft sandals.
I think I would love to live in Normandy. In DC, it gets very hot and humid for up to 6-7 months a year. I mean a zillion degrees with 10000% humidity. I sweat more than any woman I know and it's mostly from my face and head. It's so gross and embarrassing. I can't keep makeup on. My hair goes frizzy no matter what I do. I don't drive so I end up walking in this weather. I wear very light, sleeveless tops or cap sleeves, and mostly skirts or dresses. I wear sandals. It's gotten so casual at work in DC that up to a point you can still dress lightly and be appropriate. Where I grew up, in Oregon, summers were so much milder.
I’ve got cashmere on today....freezing cold in the north of England.....please me some sunshine 🌞 love your videos
I’m sending you some summer heat. In my town, south central U.S., it is a sunny 95 degrees F 48% humidity today. 🌞
That’s a brilliant answer....summer failed to download....I’ll tell my family...they will love this! Keep those posts c9ming please..they’re part of my weekly life now! ❤️
Ahhh thank you Cheryl....I am now in bed with my heated blanket on and dreaming of a summer that isn’t happening! ☹️
Janet Hothersall That is me in winter. The only way to be warm is the bed or sofa underneath a blanket. I prefer summer.
Do you have diet for staying slim or why do french women not get fat? Thank you so much......i love linen-blend fabric .Can you show a video on long hair up do.love your videos........
Over 40 degree days is not uncommon in our summer In the sub tropics . Staying out of the sun is key and linen is the answer as is looser clothing...... sp50 is a must
It's plus 30 here with high humidity. Hair short or tied back from face, minimize make-up, SPF, brow pencil and lipstick (although now skip the lipstick with mask wearing), never leave house without a hat (my favorite is a wide brim straw hat with little wooden bees trinkets I've attached to the brim. And a few large hair pins to anchor hat to hair in case it's a bit windy), my favourite sunglasses, sandals and pedicure all summer, switch over to linens, my preference is long and flowy dresses, skirts, wide linen trousers, layered with the thinnest natural cotton slips I can find (always looking for natural slips, including ones for pants). Always a large linen wrap or shawl (to block the sun or warm up a bit if inside and the AC is cranked up) and a cotton handkerchief in my bag or pocket to wipe away "the glow". And if I remember..a collapsible hand fan, a small spritzer bottle with cucumber or rose water. No perfume in heat and humidity please..
So far it's been 13 to 16 celcius and its raining here today... Again but I prefer this weather to sticky hot ☔😍
Your video is swell (doesn't smell) is is real COOL.
I live in a Northern state with cold snowy winters, but the summers are hot and mostly humid - 30 - 36 Celsius. I have no air conditioning except in my bedroom so style goes out the window when it is very oppressive. That's the time I wear shorts, tank tops or loose flowing sleeveless dresses and flip flops. No makeup (it just melts) and there's no controlling my hair so it gets pulled back with a hairband. Sadly, no wine because it just makes you hotter. :-(
I love linnen! just bought a beautiful white linnen summer blouse and the fabric feels so comfortable to wear
Je suis un nouveau subbie
Nogle stoffer falder,bedre end andre.når skåret på skrå...smukt🤩🤩🤩
Oh my lol, In our tropical climate we already know what to wear loose clothing. I would never consider a water spray because the humidity is very high and the temperature is nearly 100 Fahrenheit. I cannot even wear cotton knits, only woven fabrics and gauzes. We live in air conditioning.
”... smell”..? Oh for sure... but I use (Vietnamese) cinnamon soles in ALL my summer shoes... antiperspirant and antibacterial, a must! ( for me that is...)
Marie-Anne Lecoeur 😂🙏🏻🌸
The cinnamon soles sound interesting... do you have a link I could see? Thank you!
Ha ha! Swelly and smelly feet for sure! It is super hot in summer where I live. I find it hard to find these fabrics but I definitely need to renew my search!
I love linen, but oh my goodness! It is hard to iron, LOL!! I need a better iron, I think. You know, it never dawned on me to not use fragrances with alcohol in the summer. Makes sense! And yes, wear sunscreen!!!
I use steam in my linen is ok and remember not matter what linen get wrikles.
Robin Moore I use lots of fabric softener in the rinse which I do by hand after the wash. Leave it in the bucket for a5mins and then hang out dripping. Easier to iron. Good luck
I live in linen in the summer here in Canada and never iron it, as that destroys the fibres. I machine wash, hang to dry and shape with my finders. It dries with a wonderful texture and lasts many years when treated this way. Ironing destroys linen.
Oh and I forgot if my glasses and a hat!
je ne pourrais pas être plus d'accord avec vous.
Normandie sounds like San Francisco.
We have places in the USA that have the same climate as your part of France,plus we can wear all that stuff in air conditioner,Right now in the Southern USA we are having a heatwave and can barley wear clothes.
Madame Marie, vous ête trés chic
Nice hat!...Summer vives!
Well here in Las Vegas Nv today 7/17....... 107 Fahrenheit = 41 Celsius past days were extreme 115= 46 hot really hot 🥵
I’m already cooler just thinking of your suggestions. I wear linen all the time but because of this pandemic, Im not going anywhere except the grocery store or Costco. At home, I wear shorts and woven cotton tanks not tee shirts cuz they’re too clingy. Basically that’s what I sleep in too. Stay indoors with AC. I love the Evian mister that I’ve not thought about. That’s very chic and French. And yes, the straw hat is a must! Thank you for your great ideas. Again a great video😁😅. It’s not that hot yet here in So Calif. But who likes to be sweaty anyway? Someone asked the hair situation, I think you need to embrace it. Whatever it is. ie, head band, hat, conditioner, scarf.
Wear sunscreen all year round. If you are fair haired, please make sure that your scalp is covered with a heat/scarf while you are in the sun (or it's no fun).
Very practical advice. Can you do a video on how you prevent your red lipstick from bleeding? Thank you.
I am at 112 degrees today.
@@MarieAnneLecoeur Thank you for your reply Marie-Anne. I very much appreciate your suggestions.
During summer I mostly wear cotton clothes, espadrilles and mocassins with invisible socks.
Sunblock is a must regardless of the weather.
I can’t imagine a day without perfume so my favorite ones are Eau Sauvage and Eau des Merveilles. They are alcohol based but their scent is unbeatable for hot days. By the way both are incredibly unisex!
I wish I could have a romance with linen but it seems we hate each other.
Marie-Anne, are sandals fine for men to wear in France?
I have never been there in summer so I have no idea.
I’m a cold weather creature so just imagine my almost constant torture in Costa Rica!
I should move to Normandie!
Have a heavenly weekend, take care of yourself and yours!😻
Uniforms are a problem where I am. Summer very uncomfortable and hot
