and one advice which might not be obvious - dressing in thin loose long-sleeved lightly coloured clothes is often better for summer comfort than shorts and a crop top. When experiencing extreme temperatures, look what do people living in parts of the world with such weather wear - it is rearly minimalistic clothing. Shade and coverage is vital, even the best sunscream is no miracle and very few people use it correctly. Personaly I fell in love with linen clothing, altough it wrinkles the best thing is linen does not smell - even after being soaked in sweat after a whole day you can let it dry in the breeze and it is good as new for another day (it has its limits tho :D)

ramie, cupro, jute and bamboo are also great summer fabrics

One million subscribers!! Not sure since when, but congratulations! I started watching way back when you had a lot fewer and I thought: "This lovely creator deserves to have a million subscribers" and now you do!! ❤ P.S. I live in Anchorage, Alaska, and we have had one of the coldest, rainiest, windiest summers on record. I sure wish I could share a bit of our cold air!

I agree. We moved from New England to Atlanta, GA, in the US. While I have acclimatized to some degree, loose fitting, breathable, and almost exclusively machine washable, is preferred. I have also extended my scarf and wrap collection because of the air conditioning. The best, unexepectedly useful, purchase has been an inexpensive, UPF 50 scarf/ wrap. It doesn't wrinkle, tucks in a bag, Is dense enough to keep me warm as a scarf/ shawl/ blanket on flights, and if I'm out in the sun more than expected; it protects me from burns. Hang in there, fall is coming!

Here in Northern Australia, near the Equator line, it’s that temperature almost year round. Agreed, linen, cotton, I also love Viscose, are my staples… and my partner prefers polyester activewear shirts because they’re moisture wicking, and linen or cotton shirts for work and evening wear. Maxi dresses, with splits that allow the air to flow around legs, are my go to - and yes - hugging the shade!

I live in linen trousers and Birkenstocks here in Portugal

I have a handful of boxy tops I made out of cotton double gauze that are super comfortable in the heat, and a set (tank and shorts) out of cotton seersucker that are also my go-to outfit for the very hottest days.

As a rain-loving english soul living in Greece. ...thannkyou for your thoughts🤍

Here in California I wear a djellaba or caftan, especially one with a hood for the sun, on hot, dry summer days. The slight breeze created by the fabric moving across the skin is incredibly cooling--especially with a spritz of rosewater.

Although I bought several pieces for warm weather in shops, my favorits for extremly hot weather are sewn by myself because I couldnt´t find what I wanted in shops: Sleeveless, dresses in midi or maxi-length, loose fit, mostly in A-line in bright colours, some also with prints. The first exemplary I created looked terrible on me as it was too loose. I wear it when painting and noone can see me. But the next examplaries came out better. I learned to make variations. I found out which modifications I needed, so that they practical for wearing in the garden, and which style is better for going out. For the late evening I sometimes take a sweater made from french terry with me.
Shoes: Of course sandals are great in the heat but for longer walks, sneaker-like shoes made from breathable materials or leather might be better. In any case the color of the shoes shouldn´t be dark because this might feel like burning even though the material is breathable ( I learned this by experience).

It's important to know that drinking too much water IS a thing. It can be dangerous.

I love long sleeves for extreme heat. I use loser linen shirts or dresses with long sleeves and loser skirts. That allows me to apply sunscreen on only exposed areas like my face and back of the hands or feet and I don't sweat so much.

[nomzhlf]

These are wonderful suggestions. I love full maxi dresses in the summer - I find them cooler than shorter cuts, even though the fabric covers more. I personally prefer cuts that cover my chest and shoulders, because I have pale skin, and even with sun cream, these areas are so sensitive to the sun, but those with a darker complexion might do fine with less coverage on the top.

Thankyou Justine. As always your videos are very topical and informative. In Mumbai where i live. sweltering summers are normal. Sartorially speaking putting together
" sunday best clothes" for Lenten and Easter church services are always a challenge. We do have a lot of options in indian ethnic and western style wear in linen cotton and silk. But then you have to balance comfort and modesty and looking good too!! So anything short and sheer is super comfy but not considered appropriate for church.
What i found useful was your info on tencel/ lyocell fabric. In Mumbai at the moment we're in the middle of the monsoon season . So we alternate between heavy rains and sunny but extremely humid spells. So tencel/ lyocell sounds like a good alternative fabric to natural fabrics. Hopefully i will find some in clothing styles that i like

The house behind you looks like there's been progress made. How exciting!

[selvatica]

Congratulations on a MILLION subscribers, dear Justine!
I love large long clothing out of linen, cotton, lyocell and viscose in summer and also a hat, sunglasses and a scarf. Birkenstock sandals on my feet. Pretty much all covered up, but very light and airy.
Climate change made summers in Austria go from 27°C for a few days to 37°C for weeks within the past 30 years.
Heat protection is essential.

I'm native to South Carolina USA where the climate is hot and humid in summers (~32C) to Texas where it's hotter (~41C) and much drier all year round. It's a tough transition and I miss the humidity despite everyone telling me it feels cooler when it's drier (no, no it does not).

I have a 100% silk, sleeveless top that is loose fitting. It is a crushed silk look. It does not show sweat. Also, I have a cotton camp short sleeve (button-up) and a synthetic sleeveless sport shirt. Both have 'invisible" holes in them. The cotton is stitched in, the synthetic is like it's 'stamped' in the material. They are not see-through. VERY cooling material. A slight breeze goes right through them. Hope this helps.
Best!😊
