Embrace the Denver Heat: Summer Fashion Tips to Stay Cool in the City

As the summer sun shines brightly upon the beautiful city of Denver, Colorado, it’s time to revamp your wardrobe and embrace the season’s hottest fashion trends.

While the Mile High City offers a plethora of outdoor activities and urban adventures, staying cool and stylish in the midst of scorching temperatures can be a challenge. Fear not, as we bring you a comprehensive guide on how to stay cool in the city while looking effortlessly chic. From breathable fabrics to trendy accessories, let’s dive into the world of summer fashion in Denver.

Embrace Lightweight Fabrics:

When the mercury rises, choosing the right fabrics can make a world of difference. Opt for lightweight, breathable materials such as cotton, linen, and chambray. These natural fibers allow air circulation and wick away moisture, keeping you cool and comfortable. Loose-fitting dresses, flowy tops, and linen trousers are fantastic choices for a day out in the city. Embrace the vibrant colors and playful prints that define summer fashion, adding a touch of freshness to your outfits.

Rock the Midi and Maxi Lengths:

TRASH BECOMES TREASURE AT ABSOLUTE RUBBISH: A TRASH FASHION SHOW

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH AT 7 PM AT
THE PERPLEXIPLEX, CONVERGENCE STATION
18+

Denver, CO – July 5th, 2023 – Meow Wolf Denver is thrilled to announce its very first trash fashion show, where innovation and sustainability collide in a dazzling display of avant-garde looks. This trashtastic event will feature 20 local designers unveiling their mind-boggling, recycled and upcycled creations on the runway. Get ready to be blown away by the transformation from refuse to remarkable; the trashier the better!

While the fashion industry is vital to American culture and self expression, the impact to the environment is hard to ignore. The U.S. Geological Survey found that 71% of microplastics found in samples of river water came from fibers. Scientists estimate that, globally, 35% of the microplastics found in oceans can be traced to textiles, making them the largest source of microplastic pollution in the world’s oceans. (Bloomberg)

Meow Wolf is committed to sustainability and as such, many of the costumes designed by Wardrobe Coordinator Kate Major are reused, upcycled, and recreated from unwanted materials–as was the case for her look presented at the Spring ‘23 Paper Fashion Show. 

“There is so much inspiration in trash!” said Kate Major, … Read more!
