What does /fa/ wear in the spring/summer? It's time to ditch my trusted peacoat and I'm not sure what to replace it with, especially outside.

I wear chinos or dark denim jeans and desert boots (though this will probably change soon).
Are cardigans a good option? Buttoned-up shirts with modest patterns? Maybe some jacket? Gib tips pls.

Get some low cut shoes and shorts. Short sleeve button ups, IDK. Summer sort of sucks cause you cant layer shit you gotta have nice basic suff

Pic related is linen. Linen us a great fabric for the summer because it's really light.

I never wear shorts. They tend to look like shit on everyone and my calves are exceptionally slim because of a certain inborn feet defect.

I feel the same, I really don't like shorts. But it's usually too hot for pants. I wanted to get some light linen trousers or fresco wool pants.

I think this is a nice laid back look for summer.

Linen shirt from Uniqlo, plain white undershirt, some sort of loose weave wool or cotton pants.

you have to get clothes which experiment with their design in order to stand out from the basic stuff that everyone is wearing
things like cut, pattern, etc can turn something from boring into to interesting and fashionable like pic related
also key is fabric, you dont want to go for things which are naturally warm like cotton and wool, try fabrics like linen or seersucker or blends, typically avoid tight garments and look for airy, roomy stuff, especially if its things like pants and and jackets which arent suited to hot weather

Cotton can be fine for summer, especially pure cotton, since it helps wick away sweat.

And wool can be woven in different ways, for example fresco wool is a very airy weave that lets your skin breathe.

>> No.11152848

>>11152833
M8 you do know that wool isn't only thick warm knitwear right

It can be woven into very light patterns that let lots of air move about. Fresco wool is an example. Also, wool dries really quickly, so it can absorb sweat then let it evaporate quickly, cooling you down.

Linen looks like absolute shit unless it's a simple tee, it's like you're in door-to-door salesman mode 24/7, shit makes creases just looking at it, cotton-linen blend is the way to go.

>> No.11152858

>>11152852
Oh yeah blends are very good, I wasn't saying only pure linen. BUT if the blend has only a little linen then it won't keep as cool.

In some cases, especially for casual wear, even full linen may be ok if the creases are something you like. But a good blend keeps the properties of linen and doesn't cease as much.

You wouldn't wear wool in 30 celsius summer anyway unless you were aiming at looking like a complete autistic retard, most of the time you sweat like crazy with just a tee and some shorts, going from the car to the office.

Lol wool.

OP, you could also go for a preppy look. Chinos, white button down. Shoes on the left are Tretorn Nylite, I'm thinking of getting a pair.

Zara makes them in spring/summer, dirt cheap too.

Look at fresco weave senpai. I don't tend to sweat much, so I'm fine with chinos even in 90 F weather. Which is 32 C. Once it gets so hot that I'm dripping sweat no matter what, I try to stay indoors anyway.

And wool of course isn't the only option, I think linen pants would be much cooler, except that they wrinkle a lot more and might not go with some fits. To each their own

I think you totally have to take it on a case-by-case basis... some things will last you years and others look like they're already falling apart at the seams in store. I'd advise strongly against online shopping; you have to see the fabrics and feel them in person.

>> No.11153001

>>11152978
Sorry, one more thing... check the label at the collar to see where it's made. The best stuff at Zara is usually from Spain, Morocco, Turkey and Portugal, moreso than Poland and Romania (where they make a lot of the knits) or India (where most of the beadwork/embellished apparel is from). The Chinese stuff... not so much.

>creases just looking at it
That's literally the point. "It wrinkles beautifully" is a phrase my clothes guy always says about the fabric.
