    Me too, well jeans & T-shirt as with every other day of the year, not a fan of choice or change!  I did choose a slightly thinner cotton T-shirt for this week though.  :D

    @janer1967 I'm not actually too bad, it's because of my OCD and also some other issues I prefer to stay covered up. I am staying pretty cool at the moment though!! :) 

    My advice would be to just not move too much, if you need to move then move slowly

    :D I think that might be an autistic thing. I was the same when I was younger. Jeans and jumper all year round. I have photos as a teenager in heat of summer wearing a turtleneck jumper :D 
    No heat or body regulation. 

    Mine only changed when I started living alone and gradually changed to wearing what I wear now which is considerably less. But I wear the same thing all year round. Just add a coat in the winter if it's below about 10 or raining.

    @66Mustang not at all I j6st thought my comment wasn't worded in a good way 

    @Biblioklept a sarong is j6st big rectangular piece 9f material you can wear and tie in all different ways . Lots people wear them as cover up on the beach 

    Some men even wear them like a skirt ( seen pic of David Beckham in one )

    Loose cotton palazzo trousers and a cotton vest. 

    Blinds and windows shut all day and, as @66Mustang says, if you have to move do it slowly. 

    Bliss!!

    Underpants or loose shorts, that's all, and I'm still too hot!!! If I didn't have carers visiting then I wouldn't have anything on at all.
