Hmmmmm.....when I'm working around my farm....mowing & weeding & hiking in my woods.....I wear knee high rubber boots with 2 pairs of socks & long pants......t-shirt with a long sleeved shirt on top.....& a ton of bug spray because the ciggars & spiders are hell on me....& I have had so many bites other years (100+ at a time) that it's actually made me physically ill.....so I have become overcautious about making sure I cover up.....also wear a huge brimmed hat to keep the sun off my face.
When I go out during the day....casual or more formal....it's either in shorts just above my knee with a t-shirt in some sort of matching color print......or capri's with some sort of shirt or t-shirt that matches in color. Heat & humidity can be bad here....but this year.....we had a low last week of 65F on Friday......definitely NOT a normal summer temp.
When I go grocery shopping I always take a long sleeved shirt or jacket because the freezer sections are so cold my hands go numb.
I had ACL knee reconstruction back in the late 80's before they did it arthroscopically....so I have a huge scar up the side of my knee....so I really don't like to wear shorts out in public....but am getting less uncomfortable about that....& there are some times when I need to make it into town so I just throw some sandles (berkinstocks preferably), jump into my huge truck & run the errand that I need to get accomplished......
I also don't use my A/C in my home unless it gets almost 100F so around the house I wear shorts & anything cotton.....but if I do much work in the heat & humidity....I end up jumping into the shower & put on another set of dry cloths.....can't stand the feeling of cloths that are ringing wet.
Also when I ride horses, I wear long pants & boots & long sleeved shirt or t-shirt on a real hot day....but I hate getting bug spray on my skin so would rather spray it onto my cloths than onto my skin.
