Can't Wear This in Texas - Topic of the day 4/25/24

Warmer weather is fast approaching (if you live in the northern hemisphere). How do you handle the heat while still getting fits off?

If you can't wear cool clothes where you live, consider moving

The trick to wearing sick ass clothing in summer heat is simple

Drew•4/25/24, 4:01 PM

just suffer for the art

Smiles•4/25/24, 4:02 PM

I've talked about this before but 90% of it is material/weave. Linen, Semi-synthetics (modals), silk, hemp, and seersucker.

Smiles•4/25/24, 4:02 PM

Tropical wool

ler•4/25/24, 4:02 PM

i shower a lot

SSmiles I've talked about this before but 90% of it is material/weave. Linen, Semi-synth...

ler•4/25/24, 4:03 PM

also this. no longer being slim fit-pilled also helps

ler•4/25/24, 4:03 PM

and i accept the fact that im a bit chubby and im gonna sweat and sweating is normal and good, just drink water

rej•4/25/24, 4:04 PM

Seeing a lot more seersucker lately. Makes me want some

Spuck•4/25/24, 4:04 PM

pulling all the camp collars back into rotation

Rrej Seeing a lot more seersucker lately. Makes me want some

Smiles•4/25/24, 4:04 PM

I'm feeling some seersucker shorts ngl

Benji•4/25/24, 4:05 PM

I have two jackets I will be wearing a lot (both navy lol):

Benji•4/25/24, 4:05 PM

Cotton-linen Uniqlo shirt jacket

Benji•4/25/24, 4:06 PM

Tropical wool EG Bedford (actually cooler wearing than the Uniqlo shacket)

SSmiles I'm feeling some seersucker shorts ngl

rej•4/25/24, 4:06 PM

I'm waiting for summer sales to hit for a seersucker suit I think

Smiles•4/25/24, 4:06 PM

Also the trick to dressing in the summer is having cool clothes, noone is gonna layer past like an undershirt past a point.

Smiles•4/25/24, 4:06 PM

Your clothes and accessory game has to speak for itself

Benji•4/25/24, 4:06 PM

My accessory game is lacking

Smiles•4/25/24, 4:06 PM

Also mesh is in rn

Weeg•4/25/24, 4:11 PM

Linen

Weeg•4/25/24, 4:11 PM

Big droopy breathable shirts and tank tops

Benji•4/25/24, 4:12 PM

I'd really like a pair of PRL vintage linen trousers to come through for me around my waist size

Andrew•4/25/24, 4:12 PM

An idea that I’ve tossed around in my head lately is that it might be easier to wear more clothes (in reason) like pants or a light long sleeve layer when it’s hotter. I’m going to sweat a ton no matter what when it’s 90+ and humid or 105+ and dry. Wearing less can help me when it’s 75-85 but above nothing can save me. Not a fully formed hypothesis yet.

Benji•4/25/24, 4:13 PM

And light wash polo jeans co in waist size 29

BBenji And light wash polo jeans co in waist size 29 🥲

rej•4/25/24, 4:14 PM

Me too

Spuck•4/25/24, 4:14 PM

people who live in the hottest places on earth wear pants and shirts plenty

rej•4/25/24, 4:14 PM

Warm weather totd and it's 50 degrees and raining rn

SSpuck people who live in the hottest places on earth wear pants and shirts plenty

Smiles•4/25/24, 4:15 PM

this is because of the sun more than the heat but yes

Smiles•4/25/24, 4:16 PM

long sleeves and pants are fine in the summer if you choose the material correctly

Spuck•4/25/24, 4:16 PM

loose layers let more air circulate

Spuck•4/25/24, 4:17 PM

so the answer as always is Big Pant

chase_vv•4/25/24, 4:26 PM

tbh i just accept my fate on hot days and wear whatever

zeometer•4/25/24, 4:26 PM

the gay in the white lotus said "i would die for beauty, wouldn't you?" and that's governed my ethos

“

“walt”•4/25/24, 4:26 PM

that's the move

chase_vv•4/25/24, 4:26 PM

id be sweating in t and shorts regardless

“

“walt”•4/25/24, 4:26 PM

just sweat

“

“walt”•4/25/24, 4:26 PM

get a good stain remover bar for the neck rings

zeometer•4/25/24, 4:27 PM

honestly i have several duplicates of things in lighter fabrics so i can wear the same fits (linen vs ocbd or chino)

chase_vv•4/25/24, 4:28 PM

same, closet is slowly getting taken over by black pants in various materials and cuts

zeometer•4/25/24, 4:30 PM

an option I'm exploring this summer is being maybe a lil slutty - an extra button undone, wearing linen or silk which is translucent, tank tops under blazers or open shirts, etc

“

“walt”•4/25/24, 4:31 PM

i think the other move is to stop worrying about getting fits off when it's really really hot

“

“walt”•4/25/24, 4:32 PM

not to contradict the premise of the thread but it's very freeing to not care about putting on a banger outfit every day

“

“walt”•4/25/24, 4:32 PM

comfort should be the main thing

chase_vv•4/25/24, 4:34 PM

alternatively only own sick clothes so you have no choice but to get fits off
