Summer is in full swing — and while we love the long days, rooftop hangs, and beachside getaways, let’s be honest: the heat can be a lot. Whether you’re sweating through your commute or tossing and turning at night, the key to surviving (and thriving) this season is having the right summer essentials.
Here’s our roundup of must-haves to keep your cool — day and night.
1. A Go-To Linen Shirt
Breathable, timeless, and effortlessly cool. Linen is your best friend in the summer — it wicks moisture, lets your skin breathe, and looks chic even when you’re melting inside.
2. SPF You’ll Actually Want to Wear
Look for a lightweight, non-greasy SPF with at least SPF 30. Pro tip: find one with a little tint or glow so you can skip heavy makeup and still look alive.
3. The Chill Pad by Mintzzz
Okay, we might be biased — but when it comes to sleeping in a heatwave, nothing beats our Chill Pad. It’s designed to stay cool to the touch, wick away moisture, and give your body the cool-down it naturally needs for deep, uninterrupted sleep. No more flipping your pillow 400 times a night.
Think of it as air-conditioning for your bed — minus the energy bill.
4. A Massive Water Bottle
Hydration isn’t just a wellness flex — it’s essential. Get yourself a big, aesthetic water bottle you’ll actually carry around. Bonus points if it fits in your tote bag and keeps ice solid for hours.
5. Sunglasses That Block UV + Bad Vibes
Protect your eyes and your mood. A great pair of sunnies does more than shield you from the sun — it makes you feel put together, even when you’re wilting in the humidity.
6. Cooling Bedding = Non-Negotiable
If your sheets are trapping heat, you’re basically sleeping in a sauna. Swap in cooling, breathable fabrics like bamboo or TENCEL™ that let your skin breathe and help regulate your body temperature all night long.
(P.S. We might know a place that makes really good ones.)
7. Something Cold & Delicious
Whether it’s a hibiscus iced tea, sparkling water, or a summer spritz, having a go-to cold drink in hand makes everything feel a little more manageable. Stay hydrated and romanticize your life.
Final Thoughts
Summer isn’t about suffering through sweat — it’s about slowing down, sleeping better, and savoring the long, lazy days. With the right essentials, you can stay cool, collected, and completely unbothered.
