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.
Cotton is fine compared to artificial stuff. just go for looser weaves. Honestly if you're wearing natural fabric, weight of thread and tightness of weave are most important.
