The weather is heating up and with the Summer Solstice just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about the best clothes to wear in the heat. For men, there are a few key items that are perfect for hot weather. T shirts, shorts and short sleeve shirts are a great start.

It’s also important to think about what materials your clothes are made from. Natural fibres like cotton and linen are breathable and will help keep you cool. Check out our pick of the best mens clothing for hot weather below.

What to wear in a heatwave

The summertime is a great opportunity for men to show some bare skin and embrace their inner fashionista. However, with the hot weather comes the challenge of finding lightweight clothing that is both stylish and comfortable.

Luckily, there are a few key items that any man can wear to look sharp and stay cool in the summer heat. First and foremost, linen is your friend. Linen is a lightweight fabric that breathes well and can absorb sweat, making it the perfect choice for hot and humid weather.

Another summer essential is a pair of shorts. Shorts come in a variety of styles, from dressy to loose fit and casual, so you can easily find a pair that fits your needs.

And don’t forget about accessories! A stylish sun hat or pair of sunglasses can help to protect you from the sun’s harmful UV rays while also adding a touch of panache.

How to stay cool in the summer sun

There’s no need to sweat it out this summer – literally. Staying cool in the heat is all about making smart choices, and that starts with your wardrobe. First things first: ditch the heavy fabrics and try wearing clothes in light, breathable materials like linen or cotton. In short, dress appropriately.

And when it comes to choosing a colour, go for light hues – they’ll reflect the sun’s rays rather than absorb them. Deeper shades will make you feel hotter, so it’s best to avoid them if you can. And speaking of reflecting heat, don’t forget to slap on some sunscreen! SPF is your friend when it comes to beating the heat.

Another way to stay cool is to keep your body hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Alcohol and caffeinated beverages should be avoided, as they can actually dehydrate you. Instead, focus on water-rich fruits and vegetables like watermelon and cucumber, and make sure to drink lots of fluids on a hot day even if you’re not thirsty.

Lastly, try to stay out of the direct sun during the hottest hours of the day – seek shade whenever possible. By following these simple tips, you can beat the heat and enjoy a cool, comfortable summer.

 

What materials are best for hot weather

When the weather gets hot, we all want to be comfortable. But what are the best fabrics to keep you cool when the mercury rises? Many people believe that natural fibres are the key to staying cool in the heat. And it makes sense – after all, these are the breathable fabrics that have been used for centuries to make light, airy clothing for warm climates.

The experts agree – according to a study by the University of Nebraska, natural fibres like cotton and linen are more effective at wicking away sweat and allowing airflow than synthetic options like polyester. So next time you’re looking for the perfect summer outfit, reach for something made from natural fibres – your body will thank you!
