Beating the Colorado Heat: Fashion Tips for the Dog Days of Summer
If you’ve stepped outside lately, you know Colorado isn’t exactly being subtle about summer. One minute you’re enjoying your morning coffee on the patio, and the next you’re wondering if the sidewalk might actually be lava.
The dog days of summer have officially arrived, but staying cool doesn’t mean sacrificing your personal style. In fact, some of the best summer outfits are the ones that let you breathe, move, and enjoy everything Colorado has to offer.
Choose Natural Fabrics
When temperatures climb into the 90s (and beyond!), your wardrobe works overtime.
Reach for breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, bamboo, and lightweight rayon blends. These materials allow air to circulate and help wick away moisture, keeping you more comfortable whether you’re strolling through a farmers market, grabbing lunch with friends, or heading to an outdoor concert.
Let Your Clothes Move
Summer is the perfect excuse to embrace flowy silhouettes.
Think breezy sundresses, wide-leg linen pants, oversized button-down shirts, relaxed jumpsuits, and skirts that catch the afternoon breeze. Clothing that floats instead of clings can make a surprising difference on a hot day.
Embrace Color
Colorado sunshine loves color.
Soft whites, sandy neutrals, cheerful corals, sky blues, sunny yellows, fresh greens, and … Read more!

Why Birdy Magazine Matters So Much to Denver’s Creative Community
There are some creative projects that become more than a publication, a platform, or an event. They become part of the cultural fabric of a city.
For me, Birdy Magazine is one of those things and they need our support!
Jonny DeStefano, co-creator of Birdy alongside Krysti Joméi, has been a major force in my creative life since the mid-90s. Long before social media, before websites, before influencer culture and algorithms… there was Denver’s DIY creative scene. And it was electric.
Back then, I was the merch girl for Jonny and his brother Sam’s punk band. That season of life taught me some of the greatest lessons I’ve ever learned about grassroots marketing, community building, promotion, and what it means to truly believe in creativity.
This was before Instagram.
Before Facebook.
Before digital flyers and boosted posts.
We were hanging posters by hand, passing out flyers, talking to people face-to-face, building scenes through real human connection, late-night conversations, zines, music, art, and passion.
Jonny also helped get my own band, B.Sue, up and running. Looking back now, I realize how much those early experiences shaped not only my creative career, but also the heart behind Fashion Denver itself.
