    This is only how a cold weather person thinks about heat. That’s not how real life works.

    One light layer of linen is amazing. Your body does the work on its own. Touregs in the Sahara wear a light layer of light fabric. Look at Saudis and the traditional outfit. Italy in the summer. All similar. All perfectly comfortable.

        Every time I’ve been to Italy in the summer, north or south, everyone is in summer uniform. Same in Greece, but obviously the Italian version was fancier.

        Unless… Are you an 80 year old man wearing polyester and wool and a vest and a hat in August on the farm?

        Seriously, though, any search online for summer Italian wear is usual light clothing.

            A mix of both, really. Had to spend a week in some random part of Milan for a conference at a university some the space was free.

            For real, tough, even Eastern Europe dresses in light summer clothing during the summer. You can’t be telling me that people in Tirana or Sofia do this and Italians don’t?

            And sure, we’re both just one data point of information. But so what would you say is the most common summer wear if not light clothes?

              T-shirt and shorts usually, many also rock a tank top and usually in cities with beaches you will find shirtless people

                    Me saying a light layer of linen is great isn’t also being applied to everyone else.

                    Touregs in the Sahara wear a light layer of light fabric. Look at Saudis and the traditional outfit. Italy in the summer. All similar.

                    My friend, Touregs don’t wear linen. Neither do Saudis. Let’s try this:

                    Cherry pie is great. Touregs in the Sahara enjoy beef pies. Look at Saudis with their empanadas. Italy and lemon tarts. All similar.
