Choose light colors when making clothing purchases for summer, as they will be cooler when the weather is hot. Pastels make great summer colors – think about cool lime green, aqua blue and cotton candy pink.

Think about dresses or jumpers for summer. You may be able to utilize jumpers that you already have – just pair them with short sleeve blouses or tee’s to instantly update a fall or spring jumper.

Shorts and Capri pants are a must for girls during hot summer months. Shorts come in many lengths – very short or mini length, Bermuda, and regular, mid-thigh length. Capri pants reach anywhere between the knee and mid-calf. Shorts and Capri pants come in every color imaginable. Pair them with a light tee or tank top.

Sandals, flip-flops or Crocs are great shoe choices for girls. These types of shoes are open enough to ventilate their feet and keep them cool.
