When temps are high, I gravitate towards loose fitting, sleeveless tops. The loose fit allows air to circulate around your body so you can go a little bare without feeling over exposed. Sun protection is also very important to me so I don't mind having a sleeve during the summer. What style of top do you like to wear in the summer?
