If you live somewhere cold – wool.

If you live somewhere hot – linen.

I think I have to give linen a second chance. Or maybe modal/lycocell/etc. Germany isn't sub Saharan warm, but I'm built like an oven 😐

Edit: oh, this is why I gave up on them. I'm not paying 85€ for a single shirt 🫩

Keep an eye out at thrift shops, maybe? I assume those exist near you. Probably much less availability that way, so you might have to look for a while, and fewer pattern options as a result, but cheaper and for a test maybe better because already pre-softened through wash and wear?

Bamboo? I have bamboo socks that are warm and soft, but they take a little extra to dry

I tried, but it was really hard finding good quality. It shrunk to show my soft, rosy belly 😐

Right now I'm wearing a wool shirt under a linen shirt. I'd count the local weather as "warm"

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, wool is good in hot weather as well. Especially since it very effectively combats body odor. I was just trying to give a rule of thumb.
