Beating the heat when it's already baking outside can be hard, especially since you'll feel 20 degrees warmer than the actual temperature when you run! Investing in sweat-wicking and cooling performance gear is key to staying safe and feeling great during your Summer runs. These 10 cute picks do it right.

Don't fear a midday run; suit up in protective gear that shields you from harsh rays. This lightweight Under Armour Sunblock 50+ long-sleeved shirt ($50) wicks away sweat, keeps you cool, and offers impressive SPF protection.

Be the most stylish runner in the park with these cat-eye Smith Sidney Sunglasses ($80), which feature grippy nose pads so your glasses stay on your face when you sweat.

Strategic mesh detail on these Zella Bees Knees Running Capris ($52) keeps you cool on even the hottest days.

The Nike Perforated 2-in-1 shorts ($60) offer ventilation where you need it as well as compression boy shorts for coverage.

Sometimes, you just need a little more help shielding yourself from the sun. This Lululemon Fast Paced Run Visor ($28) is a cute option that keeps you cooler than wearing a hat.

Stock up on these Old Navy Go-Dry Racerback Tanks ($12, originally $17) for those hot days — each is made from lightweight mesh that wicks away sweat.

There's nothing worse than a bra that leaves you feeling soaked after a workout. This Forever 21 High-Impact Mesh-Back Sports Bra ($15) solves the problem.

An open-back, loose workout top, like this Asics short-sleeved shirt ($42), will help you beat the heat.

This basic, do-anything Breathe V-Neck workout tee from GapFit ($25) comes in several colors and will take you through the hottest months, no matter how hard you train.

Mesh detail on the sides of these Without Walls 3-Inch Shorts ($38) keeps you cool, and a built-in brief keeps you covered.
