Looking to upgrade my style/fashion and seeking advice

Davchun

I've always had issues overheating. It didn't matter if I was underweight or overweight, I'd still sweat through my clothes. I don't have thyroid issues, and I don't have hyperhidrosis. I mostly think it's my anxiety giving me issues.

I also am very particular about my fabrics. For shirts, I've found that I don't like polyester-like material or anything that feels super silky. I've even purchased 100% cotton shirts that I absolutely hate. The only shirt I like is Costco's Kirkland Signature T-shirts. For some reason, I'm fine with most materials as shorts. I just generally don't like long sleeve pants as I don't like anything on the bottom half of my legs. I don't even like joggers or scrubs that much.

It's hard for me to figure out fashion, as I also value comfort. I've always just worn a T-shirt and shorts, and because I overheat easily, I always debate whether or not I should wear a hoodie (I find 20-30 degrees F my most comfortable temperature range). Lately, my new friends have been giving me s**t because I dress like a middle/high-schooler still (we're in a grad school program).

I really would like some clothing/style advice while navigating these issues.

I live on the east coast of the USA. I am a 26 year old male. 

  • I am also hyper sensitive to heat. I nearly had a heatstroke the other year and it was only 29 degrees centigrade!

    With regards to fashion: if you want to dress for yourself, just express yourself maybe with a colour palette that you like although if you're too colourfull this may be the reason your friends pick on you.

    If you want your friends to leave you alone then I recommend dressing in very plain tshirts and hoodies. The key is to make sure they're the right fit... not too tight or people might pick up on that. Dark colours won't stand out. If you just try and go for the most generic looking stuff then nobody can say anything really. Think how some of those CEOs dress in tech... they can get away with hoodies and jeans if it's tastefully done.

    Try and dress in cotton or other natural fibres as even if you do sweat it wont stink as bad.
