Summer is one of the best times to wear light, cheerful clothes. But the warmer it gets, the more likely you are to struggle with sweat or awkward outfit mishaps. That's why so many people reach for fashion tape. At Shapetape we know how important it is to feel secure and confident in your clothes, however hot it is. In this blog we show you how to use fashion tape properly in summer and make sure it holds, even when you sweat.
Why fashion tape is a summer must-have
When you're wearing outfits with plunging necklines, off-the-shoulder sleeves or strapless tops, you want everything to stay in place. That's where fashion tape comes in. It's transparent, double-sided and sticks to both your skin and your clothes, so you don't have to worry about anything slipping. Lots of people use it for weddings, parties or other summer occasions to avoid embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions. But to make sure it holds in the heat too, you need to apply it properly.
The problem: sweat and heat
We all know it: summer can be sweaty and sticky. Whether you're outside in the sun or indoors at a party, sweat can make it harder for things to stick. Fashion tape is no exception. If your skin is damp or oily, the tape won't hold as well. But with a few simple tips, you can make sure fashion tape holds reliably, even in the heat.
Tip 1: start with clean, dry skin
The most important step is making sure your skin is clean and dry before you apply fashion tape. Wash the area thoroughly and dry it well. Don't use lotion, oil or perfume on your skin, or the adhesion will suffer. When you're out and about, simply dab away any sweat with a tissue or towel before applying the tape.
Tip 2: apply it somewhere cool
If possible, apply fashion tape somewhere cool and dry. At home you can switch on a fan or the air conditioning. The cooler your skin is when you apply it, the better the tape sticks.
Tip 3: press it down firmly
After placing fashion tape on your skin and clothing, press it down firmly for a few seconds. The warmth of your hands helps the adhesive bond better. Take your time with this step – just 10 seconds of firm pressure can make a big difference.
Tip 4: choose the right spots
Where you put fashion tape is crucial. Place it in spots that don't move too much and don't sweat a lot. Tape at the edge of a neckline often holds better than right in the middle, where sweat collects. The less movement, the longer the tape lasts.
