Hello, Sunshine!
Sunny days are wonderful! The sky is blue, the sun is bright, and it feels warm on your skin. But when it is very hot and sunny, we need to dress the right way to stay comfortable and safe.
On a hot sunny day, you want to wear light-colored clothes. Light colors like white, yellow, and light blue reflect the sun's heat away from your body. Dark colors like black and dark blue absorb the heat and make you feel even hotter!
Choose loose, lightweight clothing that lets air flow around your body. Shorts, T-shirts, and tank tops are great choices. Cotton and linen fabrics are the most comfortable because they let your skin breathe.
Sandals or open shoes keep your feet cool, but if you are going on a hike or playing sports, lightweight sneakers with socks are better to protect your feet.
**Think About It:** Have you ever noticed that a black car feels much hotter than a white car in the summer? That is why we wear light colors on sunny days!
