NYC Is in the Middle of a Brutal Heat Wave—but These 14 Essentials Can Help Keep You Cool, From $7
New York City is deep in the first heat wave of the season, and stepping outside feels like walking straight into a sauna. Between sweltering subway platforms and sun-soaked sidewalks, staying cool requires strategy—and heat wave-ready essentials. The key? Breathable fabrics, loose silhouettes, and smart accessories that offer real relief from the heat. Below, you'll find 14 pieces that make getting through this brutally hot time just a little more bearable. From airy linen pants and moisture-wicking mini dresses to portable neck fans, each item is designed to keep you cool without sacrificing style. If you're not worried about navigating the city in triple-digit temps, these picks also double as great summer travel essentials. Prices start at just $7. A breathable pant can go a long way in keeping you cool, especially when it's made with a linen-cotton blend and a wide-leg silhouette. This pair works as an elevated alternative to shorts for warm city strolls or travel days when airflow is key. Pair with a tank and flat sandals for an easy, polished outfit that stays comfortable in rising temps. This loose-fitting romper was made for heat waves. The open back and breezy shape allow for maximum airflow, while the stretchy fabric offers flexibility for everything from city walks to beachside lounging. Style it with sneakers and a baseball cap for daytime or sandals and a tote for vacation-ready ease. When it's over 90 degrees and the sun's relentless, a cooling towel can be more effective than just water and shade. Activated by wetting it, the towel instantly drops in temperature to help cool the skin. It's ideal for dog walks, outdoor workouts, sightseeing, or even standing on a subway platform that feels hotter than the forecast. The towel stays cool for hours and folds down small, making it easy to keep in your bag while on the go. This cool-dry shirt is engineered for sweat-prone days, thanks to moisture-wicking fabric and breathable micro-vent panels. The four-way stretch allows for full range of motion, while the silky finish keeps the shirt from clinging to skin in the heat. Whether you're running errands, heading on a hike, or catching a long-haul flight in warm weather, it's a reliable choice that balances comfort with function. Not all sneakers are created equal in the heat. The New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi V4 Running Sneakers are designed for warm-weather activity, thanks to their breathable mesh upper that allows airflow around the feet. They're lightweight yet supportive, making them a strong option for long walks, sightseeing, or even navigating hot city streets during a commute. The design blends comfort and style, so you can wear them with activewear or casual outfits without sacrificing aesthetics. In a heat wave, carrying a personal fan can make a noticeable difference—but a hands-free neck fan goes one step further. The Zhzw Portable Neck Fan uses dual-cooling technology and a quiet turbo system to circulate cool air around your face and neck. It's ideal for outdoor walks, festival days, dog park visits, or just trying to survive your morning commute. It's particularly useful if you're traveling somewhere tropical or humid and want portable relief without bulky equipment. For both city dwellers and summer travelers, this wearable fan makes overheated days much more manageable. Matching sets are having a moment—and this one happens to be lightweight and heat wave-friendly, too. The breezy material and relaxed fit help regulate body temperature, while still offering a polished, put-together look. It's an easy outfit option for vacation dinners, rooftop lunches, or walking around the city on a hot day. The beauty of a two-piece set is how easy it is to mix and match—wear the top with linen pants or denim shorts, and style the shorts with a tank or button-down. It packs easily and resists wrinkling, making it a solid option to throw into a weekend bag. When the sidewalks feel like they're radiating heat, lightweight sandals are a must. These Crocs sandals combine breathability with durability—they're waterproof, featherlight, and cushioned for all-day wear. The streamlined design looks sleeker than typical Crocs but still offers the same comfort. Soft, flexible straps hold the foot securely without digging, while the open design promotes airflow. Whether you're hitting the beach, heading to a casual dinner, or strolling through the city, these sandals offer reliable comfort without bulk. This sporty mini dress does more than look cute—it's made with Columbia's signature cooling and moisture-wicking technology that actively works to lower your skin temperature. The fabric offers UPF 50 protection, making it ideal for sun-soaked days whether you're boating, hiking, or simply walking to brunch. Its active silhouette makes it easy to wear with sneakers or slides, and it packs well for warm-weather getaways. The G Gradual cropped pants are a solid alternative to shorts when you want coverage without sacrificing ventilation. Made from moisture-wicking polyamide and featuring a four-way stretch, they're ideal for travel, hikes, or long walks in the sun. The relaxed, tapered fit allows air to circulate while still looking tailored enough to dress up with a tank and sandals. Their quick-drying properties make them a smart pick if you're dealing with sweat or an unexpected summer storm. Cropped hems keep the lower legs cool, and zippered pockets add a practical element for carrying small essentials while out and about. A mini dress is a summer wardrobe staple, and this one combines breathability with on-trend style. It's made from a lightweight blend of tencel and linen—two fabrics known for staying cool and wicking moisture. The loose fit, boat neckline, and open back allow for plenty of airflow, even on days when the air feels heavy. Great for warm-weather travel or weekend brunch in the city, this dress is equal parts comfort and sophistication. During a heat wave, it's just as important to help your pets stay cool—especially if your apartment doesn't have central AC. This cooling mat activates instantly when your dog or cat lays down, using breathable fabric and gel-free technology to provide relief. One pet owner who purchased it shared, 'This dog cooling mat has been a lifesaver during heat waves. My dog loves laying on it, and the cooling effect is noticeable,' one pet owner shared. A good linen tank top is a piece for hot weather, and this one blends viscose and linen for a soft, breathable finish that stays cool throughout the day. The sleeveless design and back button details elevate the look just enough to pair with trousers, linen pants, or even a midi skirt. The range of shades make it easy to style for summer travel or everyday wear in the city. Whether you're exploring a new destination or just trying to stay cool while running errands, this stylish tank keeps things breezy. When sunscreen alone isn't cutting it, these UPF 50P arm sleeves add a protective barrier that also helps cool your skin. Designed with a four-way stretch and moisture-wicking fabric, they're ideal for outdoor workouts, bike rides, or even walking tours in high sun. The cooling fabric helps regulate your body temperature and offers coverage without the bulk of a long sleeve shirt. Love a great deal?
