Hello everyone, I am posting on this community to solicit advice on avoiding heat stroke while not looking like a fool. Currently I own several 95% polyester 5% spandex short-sleeve button-ups as well as one 100% linen long-sleeve button-up. I find both to be quite suitable for hot weather, but would love suggestions that aren’t T-shirts and button-ups. Additionally, what options are there for summer pants? And what actually looks good with shorts? When I wear them I look like a camp councilor - or worse, a kid attending summer camp. Feel free to discuss dresses and skirts as well, although I am personally not interested. Oh yes, and I suppose summer hats could be useful too. Thank you in advance.
People who live in extremely hot climates have spoken - Run around naked, or wear big flowy white robes. there are no other options.
Good summer pants: linen, seersucker.
Idk, basically anything you’re gonna be wearing in summer goes with shorts. I frequently wear linen or chino shorts with seersucker or linen button ups, looks good.
Linen is the best fabric for hot weather. It holds a great deal more water by weight that cotton, meaning you can sweat a lot more before the material becomes saturated and can’t pull more sweat away from your skin. It wicks moisture and breathes much better than cotton, meaning it pulls water in and allows water to evaporate much faster. The result is that you stay cool and dry. It’s not as soft as cotton but I find the texture more pleasant, and at any rate if you don’t have any issues with it then you’ll get used to the differing texture in a day or two.
This effect of linen works well if it is flowy, cuts that are very cloth to your skin mean there is not enough air moving around, this is why some tight linen suits don’t feel as nice as the comfy flowy alternatives in high heat.
long sleeve breathable buttonups are a must have if you are in the Hot for any extended period of time. what looks good with them are but are not limited to: everything
short shorts with oversized buttonup: hot
well fit pants and fit buttonup: also hot
My linen shirt was quite difficult to find and it’s why I only have one. I found it very difficult to find something that is linen and feels good.
I wear floral shirts and 3/4 length shorts cos I’m fat cringe and middle aged
