Summer of 2024 and most of the US is in the midst of horrible heat waves. I bought the black & red check one first--loved it so much I bought a second. The fabric is lightweight and \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"floaty\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"--the outfits floats around you, keeping you feeling cool. It's very casual--I wear it around the house, walking the dog, running errands, and I feel so \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"not hot\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" in this heat wave! I am a true size medium, size 8 usually, and 5'6\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". The straps are adjustable so I have them a little on the long side. It comes to the top of my ankle bone--a nice length with casual flats. I wear a sports bra under it, and if its not too hot out, I've worn a sleeveless t-shirt under it too. I ordered size Medium which is perfect. Seriously, I've been living in these two the past 2 weeks, and have hand washed both of them with no problem.
