The Paris Summer Weather
First things first: let's talk about the weather. Paris in summer can be quite unpredictable. The city can get humid, and when you’re outdoors all day, especially in crowded stadiums, it can feel even hotter. With this in mind, here are some tips on what to wear to beat the heat.
Choose light and breathable fabrics.
When dressing for the summer heat, fabric choice is crucial. Choose lightweight, breathable materials that allow your skin to breathe and help wick away sweat. Baleaf offers an excellent range of activewear made from moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabrics.

Use cooling products.
Portable fans, cooling mists, and ice packs can be very helpful.
