Focus on breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or performance blends for daytime comfort. Layering is non-negotiable: bring light cardigans, a denim jacket, or a windbreaker that can be easily added or removed. Don't forget a compact umbrella or a lightweight, packable rain jacket for those inevitable summer storms. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for exploring the city's parks and lakesides. Sunglasses and sun protection are also recommended for sunny days, ensuring you're ready for whatever this vibrant Midwestern summer month throws your way.
