We’re in the middle of a heat wave this summer, so what better way to get dressed than in the fashion of a country from a hot part of the world? There are many countries to choose from, but I’ve decided to choose Egypt for this post. It’s a perfect fit because the Goddess Complex (see my post on that HERE) is in the mainstream right now and goddess-style dresses and gowns are an essential part of Egyptian culture. Some of the clothing from this country show a lot and some show a little. So age doesn’t matter. Let’s see how to get Egyptian style for a cool and exotic summer look.
I came across videos on YouTube covering the history of fashion in different eras and in different parts of the world. So I reached back to ancient Egyptian fashions as inspiration for how to create modern looks.

Tank tops are a go-to every Spring and Summer. This year, the focus is on wide-strap, scoop-neck styles. All tank shapes are good though, from v-neck to crewneck, from cotton to lace and from simple to embellished. They are all wardrobe basics and great for keeping cool whether combined with light layers or not.
Just choose the right style of tank top for the occasion, be it a casual, athletic or dressy event. Also, be sure to choose tank tops that are not too tight or too loose. The right fit will give you a polished look.
When wearing a racerback tank top, choose a T-strap bra to avoid visible bra straps. If the straps still show, wear a black, colored, printed or lacy bra or bralette.
This post begins with styling basics and then gives outfit ideas for summer parties, classic summer looks and more. Age doesn’t matter.
