It's getting hot, hot, hot! All throughout the winter, New Yorkers dream of warmer, brighter days — but the sun always has to take things too far. The humidity lays a blanket of sticky moisture over anything and everything, and soon, we barely even want to leave the apartment.

Unfortunately, NYC life means a lot of walking around and waiting on muggy subway platforms. To make the most of summer, you’ll need to stock up on airy and moisture-wicking fashion finds. It's still the city though, so let's keep things stylish, shall we? Check out our 17 picks below!

1. Our Absolute Favorite: Made of 100% linen, this Iximo tank top will easily become your go-to garment. So airy — and available in six colors!

2. We Also Love: With its breathable linen and cotton blend, this Merryfun button-up shirt will be one of the most versatile summer pieces in your closet!

3. We Can't Forget: Whether you’re wearing it for a workout or going casual with denim shorts or a maxi skirt, this sweat-wicking lululemon Align top is a must!

4. Bonus: Sometimes, just swapping a basic T-shirt for a lightweight, cropped, roomy find like this Wild Fable tee from Target will do the trick!

5. Our Absolute Favorite: This Lillusory dress has total "it" girl vibes! Thanks to its cotton material, cutouts and slit, it will have you feeling the breeze too!

6. We Also Love: Timeless and incredible versatile, this linen Amazhiyu dress nails simple sophistication and makes getting dressed a piece of cake!

8. Bonus: Obviously, we love how adorable this Aohite babydoll dress is — but we especially love its roomy volume for hot summer days. No more fabric clinging to our skin!
