Beat the Heat in Style! Summer & Hot Weather Outfits for Men

[@jjjjimm]

After 30+ years of living/fine dressing in NYC I always followed 3 rules to beat the summer heat: 1) Always cross to the shady side of the street, 2) Move as calmly, smoothly and slowly as the situation will allow and 3) Try not to get overexcited about anything. Cool and calm wins the day when beating the heat.

Shorts and short sleeves also wins the day when it's warm or worse. Pants and a long sleeve shirt on a warm day? Hahahahahaha yeah right.

Living in Phoenix Arizona where our average daily summer temp is over 110*F with 0% humidity, Linen and open weave cotton is king. Keeping the sun off is hugely helpful as well so long sleeves can really help reduce not only the heat but the risk of skin cancer. That being said I wear suits through out summer but follow the above points and avoid being outdoors as much as possible. There is a degree of just accepting that it is going to be hot and just wearing what you want anyway.

Hi! I am from the Caribbean. Due to the fact that we have warm humid weather all year round, we developed the use of the guayabera. For us here, the guayabera is a formal garment used in baptisms, weddings, as well as in any other formal occasion. But you can also use it as a casual garment. You can use guayabera in short sleeves as well as with long sleeves. They are always prepared in lightweight breathable materials, and in light colors. I feel so comfortable with its good looks, that as a lawyer I use guayaberas for my everyday in office (non court) matters. Feel free to look up for guayaberas and its great advantages for hot humid climates. Thanks for the great job, keep it up! Saludos!

Your example of the classic men’s wear worn by the Bedouin’s for the heat was spot on. The wearing of a thoab, serwal, keffiyeh or shemagh sure helps to keep a person cool. Even “Laurence of Arabia” demonstrated this. Like who wants to wear a tie and a jacket in the heat? But this clothing is not popular in Western cultures. Anyway, your examples of the light cloths were great. Personally, I don’t layer at all when it is hot. When the temps are stable around 100 degrees all Summer, clothing is minimal. Even for evening outings.

I am down in FL and I have been experimenting with merino wool/wool blend garments for the last couple of years. I will agree that my linen shirts are cooler, but my undershirts in merino have excellent antimicrobial properties that really help with odor control. I really try to have a capsule wardrobe and limit the actual number of clothing items I own. The wool helps with being able to wear items multiple times in between washes and increases the longevity of my purchases. Great luck with unbound merino and wool and prince.

[@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou]

Thank you *SO MUCH* for covering this topic. I feel heard. Many people wouldn't consider where I live (Southern California, about 15-20 minutes from the beach) to be particularly hot, but I am highly sensitive to the heat. I just wish I learned about this stuff before I started upgrading my wardrobe... Between materials and weaves, it can be difficult to know how breathable something will actually be, especially when ordering online. I wish there were some sort of standard rating organization that would assign a breath-ability grade to every piece of clothing. It would also be useful for those who specifically want to seek out warmer clothing that will insulate well. Ah well, that's never going to happen.

[@gentlemansgazette]

We're glad to be of assistance!

[@sonipitts]

One quibble here - while cotton is the more common summer fabric these days, linen is far superior when it comes to wicking and then releasing moisture, no matter what the climate. As you point out in the "sweaty underarms" section on undershirts, cotton is great at *absorbing* moisture...but not always so great at letting go of it. In fact, it tends to act more like a sponge than a wick. Hence wet sweaty underarms, damp smelly socks, the ever-dreaded swamp crotch, etc. And it's also why if you do outdoor activities, you'll frequently hear the maxim that "cotton kills" - since it holds onto water so tenaciously, if you get it wet while hiking or camping it will tend to stay that way, significantly increasing your risk of hyperthermia, creating potentially medically serious levels of chafing and blisters, encouraging fungal and bacterial growth, and adding significant weight to your overall load. So cotton is only really a good moisture-wicking fabric in drier climates or air-conditioned spaces where the heat, humidity, and/or air flow are consistently at the right balance to offset cotton's sponge-like tendencies (although it can be fine as an outer layer, such a light jacket or sweater). Additionally, unless you take care to only buy (very expensive) certified sustainably grown cotton from a reputable and independently verified brand, cotton represents one of the worst water-guzzling and pesticide/herbicide-heavy environmental offenders in the agricultural world. Linen, otoh, is a far more environmentally sustainable crop, and the fiber *wicks* (i.e. MOVES) moisture incredibly well without holding onto it like cotton does. So it dries out far more quickly even in humid and damp conditions. This creates a more enhanced cooling sensation vs cotton and makes linen naturally anti-microbial, since it doesn't stay wet. This also means linen won't get smelly like cotton does and it will also perform far better under wool, which also tends to hold onto water, making it a poor choice over potentially wet/sweat-soaked cotton under-layers. And, as Preston noted, it's a far stronger and more durable fiber than cotton, to boot. This is why our forefathers (and mothers) preferred linen shirts and shifts under wool, even when cotton was available - you get all the advanced sweat-wicking/cooling qualities of linen against the skin plus linen's enhanced durability (enabling it to stand up to frequent wear and washing), combined with the temperature-regulating and wear-resistant qualities of wool facing the environment. So if you're one of those folks who've previously resigned themselves to being sweaty and damp all summer (or all the time), consider switching to all-linen under-layer system. You might be pleasantly surprised at the improvement. (Bamboo is also similarly cooling, but is also quite a weak fiber. So it's more suitable for low-wear/low-stress garments. It does however have a lovely soft feel and drape, as well as providing additional cooling, and brings these traits to the party when blended with other fibers. However, like cotton, bamboo comes with significant environmental costs. While the plant itself is fairly sustainable, bamboo fabric is essentially just another form of synthetic rayon, and requires extensive processing involving a significant amount of electricity, water and toxic chemicals to turn the raw plant matter into a usable fiber. However, some manufacturers are shifting to more 'closed loop' and energy-efficient processes in an attempt to reduce those environmental impacts, so it might be worth looking for that if you are a fan of the fabric.)

[@obamalastname34]

Yup lightweight wool will be the best since it's the most moisture wicking away natural fiber has nature has to offer.

It's 105 today where I live. Here are my tips: 1. Linen. Linen everything. It's a magical fabric. 2. Long sleeves. Sounds counterintuitive but you'll be keeping the sun off. 3. Buy your clothes from places where it's hot. An Italian suit is going to be a lot cooler than an English suit because it's made for people in a hotter place. 4. Deodorant tries to hide the smell of your sweat. Antiperspirant reduces the amount you sweat in the first place. Use antiperspirant. 5. A jacket slung over your shoulder still carries a good degree of formality. People subconsciously understand that you are taking your jacket off because it's a sauna outside.

Linen shirts and Polos all the way either with chinos or Wool Trousers. I also have a few unlined cotton blazers whenever I feel like wearing a jacket or it's a nice occasion. When lounging at home during hot weather it's a tshirt and elastic waist seersucker pants although in the future would love to find one that is 100% cotton instead of synthetic blend. Keep up the good work gents!

[@vascobranco2904]

When temperatures go up to 30 ºC, I find much more comfort in wearing short sleeve shirts with a light sports jacket (linen or similar), unless of course I'm wearing a suit in which case a long sleeve is required. I personally dislike polo shirts with their floppy collars and much rather opt for the short sleeve shirt which always makes me dressier in a smart/business casual environment. Also, if you walk a lot, ride public transportations, etc, chances are you'll sweat more and short sleeve shirts are great to cool you down. When temperatures rise to >35 ºC it's time to leave the jacket at home or just wear it if you spend all day in an indoor environment with AC or for an important meeting .

Lived in Saigon for 4 years. I wore a shirt, trousers and dress shoes to work, sometimes a tie and never a jacket. Casually, wore linen shirts and shorts - but the most cooling 'garment' of all is flip-flops. If you want to look like an old Vietnamese guy, you should wear loafers with your shorts. Locals take lunch at 11ish and nap through the middle of the day. People avoid direct sunlight and spend most of the time in the shade. Mornings are cooler and comfortable; afternoons hot and evenings humid and sticky. No matter what you wear, you will sweat like a pig until you are acclimatised, which can take months/ years. Even then, doing anything exertive (even walking) will make you drip. Don't imagine you'll be doing any gentlemanly promenading around - it's not a walkable city, the sidewalks are still governed by motorbikes (parked and in motion). Hats aren't a thing, because motorbike helmets. Office jobs usually have a more formal dress code, but also have intense aircon. When outside, get the bike up past 30/40kph and you'll have a pleasant cooling breeze.

I wear suits all year round. The temperature where I live hits 44 degrees Celsius with 97 percent humidity in the summer. I have plenty of experience many of which you have touched on here. Also diet is important. And staying hydrated is important but you can't drink gallons of water all day long, eat fruit and drink milk drinks like iced lattes etc. They stay in your body much longer so you won't have to run to the toilet every hour. Don't worry the amount of coffee in an iced latte won't dehydrate you. Sunglasses are a huge help. They make you feel much more relaxed and cooler in the heat when you are outdoors. If you are walking down the street on a hot day squinting because of the bright sun you will instantly feel hotter than you are. And nobody looks good squinting!

Safari Jackets. Look up Roger Moore wearing safari jackets, sometimes with a dress shirt and tie, sometimes without. Safari shirts and jackets are made of breathable, yet durable cotton sometimes blended with linen. If you're dressing smart casual having a safari jacket with a short sleeve polo, henley, casual button down or solid t-shirt works perfectly. If you want to be more formal I can't think of a better way to stay cool than a short sleeve dress shirt with a long sleeve cotton safari jacket, tie or no tie. A bonus is they are machine washable. The British invented classic style as we know it so take note on how they dressed in their colonies with tropical weather. During the hotter months I personally either wear a short sleeve polo shirt, or casual button down shirt with chinos and suede chukka boots or a safari shirt or jacket with a Panama hat, maybe a lightweight suit or sport jacket at night but never in the blazing Sun but if I find a nice summer suit or sports jacket that may change.

[@iansoutryer3189]

Of course Safari Jackets are a very stylish option and they are quite versatile as well: if you don't want to wear a tie with them you can also wear a cravat. You can put on long trousers but shorts and knee length socks are alright as well. And you do have the feeling of always being well attired. I remember them well from South Africa.

I challenge you to figure out a way for my friend to work comfortably in the outdoors in the desert of Phoenix during the hot season. Yours, Ann

I love watching your guys videos, and dream of one day emulating them, but I live in Florida, and I already die just wearing button downs and trousers. This is the video I really needed the whole time!

If you’re feelin rootin’ tootin’, you can take a cue from Texans and opt for a straw cowboy hat to keep the sun off you, or a bolo tie for stylish fabric free neckwear.

Believe it or not, THEE absolutely most comfortable Summer dress clothes that I ever owned, were made of a Nylon/Rayon blend and were of 1950s vintage. This was back in the Eighties when I was in my late Teens, early Twenties... I happened to live in Houston at the time, and I guess that this type of clothing was quite popular there, back in The Day. I'd find it "new/old" at the more established Menswear stores around town, and also second hand in the thrift stores... There were TONS of the stuff floating around back then. There were dress and Sport shirts... They were either solid colors or patterned. The weave wasn't open enough to be "see through", but SO OPEN that one didn't need to wear an undershirt... And I have to say that I'd sometimes get downright chilly, even in 90 degree weather... Considering sweating, combined with either the breeze or being in an air conditioned building. The suits were almost all of a Shantung-looking slub weave, some were one solid color, others were a base color with differently toned slubs... They looked just like silk, but all had a weave that was just open enough to let air flow through. Another great characteristic of those garments, was that they were all incredibly lightweight, too. Unfortunately, I either sold or gave away those beloved suits when I magically transmogrified from a 40/42 long coat, 30/32 waist trouser... To a 44 L/ 38 waist.🙄 Middle Age Spread has a rotten way of sneaking up on a lot of us... But I sure do miss those clothes. I've never seen anything else like them since.

If not silk or rayon, what would be the proper fabric to lining a suit for a warmer climate?

So there's got to be a story about why you picked Lyford, Texas. I know about it because it's 122 miles south of me here in Corpus Christi and it's on I -77 on the way to Mexico.

I recommended doing a Miami Vice fashion episode.
