Layering. It\u2019s a thing.<\/h2>\n

In the second installment of our guide, it\u2019s all about layering. Two options come to mind: the good ol\u2019 basic long-sleeve tee and arm sleeves.<\/p>\n

Picture this if you will: You\u2019re in a dressing room with a beautiful dress or blouse that you fancy but shucks, it\u2019s sleeve-less\/short-sleeved!<\/p>\n

Basic Long-sleeve Tee<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

These basic tees are a life-saver for when you have dresses or blouses that don\u2019t quite measure up in terms of sleeve length. Layer them up with a complimentary shade or of the same colour with the dress\/blouse.<\/p>\n

You\u2019d want to get the ones that have spandex, elastane, modal or lycra in the fabric composition as it will not add bulk to the outfit and are also cooling.<\/p>\n

Not sure what colours to get that will go with the outfit? Stick to earthy\/ neutral shades like cream, brown and black. They go with almost every printed dress out there.<\/p>\n

If you have a few more dollars to spare\u2026 Take a mental picture of the colours of your dresses\/blouses and pick out one main colour that you would like to accentuate.<\/p>\n

    An alternative\u2026<\/h2>\n

    If you\u2019re not a fan of wearing layers of clothes, you could try arm sleeves, which are simply socks for the arms. It comes in various lengths from forearm to full sleeved ones. The cotton ones tend to provide more grip then the elastane\/ stretchy ones as the latter tends to slip off your arms.<\/p>\n

    If you opt for the one-piece full length sleeves (that looks like a bolero) be wary of the arm-hole of your dress\/blouse. If the arm-hole is too big\/wide, wearing just the bolero might still expose some parts of your skin and underarm.<\/p>\n
