Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.
  7. No support questions. See !techsupport@lemmy.world

Loose, light clothing. You want air close to your body to be able to move, but also serve as insulation to an extent.

Down here in the US south, the old school default was cotton seersucker. It really is better than other types of fabric, but it's harder to find nowadays. But any clothing that's got a bit of room to breathe is going to be better than something close fitting.

Any of the methods of cooling an area are going to be improved if you dress for heat in the first place

Linen. So light and airy. Wrinkles like crazy, of course.
