How to Stay Cool and Look Great When It's Hot Outside
[0:00:00] In today’s video, how to stay cool and look
great when it’s hot outside.
[Music] Tip number one.
Hangout in the shade.
Okay, Capt. Obvious, tell me something I don’t know.
But so many of you guys are out there working, you’re walking around town and you are not
taking care of your head.
You have no protection for your body for your face and, yes, simply get a hat.
This hat right here not incredibly stylish, but if I was out fishing if I’m out walking
through a jungle maybe I would use this one.
This hat right here, a little bit more stylish, you’ve seen it in a few of my videos.
Maybe I could go for a wider brim, maybe pick up a nice looking Panama, but, guys, create
your own shade and stand in it.
Tip number two.
Cool off your feet.
Now, I love boots, but in hot weather, boots, ah, heavy boots that cover up more the foot,
not maybe the best choice unless you’re out working and have to wear them.
But for most of us, okay, we’ve got some options.
Maybe look at double monk.
I can wear no-show socks, just a great look, going to be much cooler than, again, wearing
the boots or I could go with the loafer, all of a sudden it’s going to open up the top
of the foot.
Then, right over here, we’ve got classic Penny loafer.
It’s going to be dressy, something, again, I could wear with the casual suit.
It’s going to expose the top of the foot wear with a no-show sock, allow air to circulate
up near the legs.
This pair of shoes right here, it’s got a perforated leather, so holes right it, it’s
going to allow air in and out.
When it comes down to it, guys, look for footwear options that allow your feet to breathe.
Tip three.
Upgrade your underwear.
And let’s be honest, most of you don’t spend much money or time thinking about your
underwear choice because what you’ve had is work and, yeah, they may not fit you exactly
right, they may be made from a cotton material doesn’t have any stretch, it feels like
sandpaper, but it gets the job done, until it doesn’t.
You’re starting to sweat, you’re getting chafing, you’re getting irritation.
You’re like I may have to go see a doctor, I’m getting all red down there.
Guys, don’t let it come to that.
Choose the right fit for you.
Choose a material like a modal which is actually going to wick away moisture.
It’s going to be odor-resistant.
It’s going to actually feel so much better, you know you won’t have those irritation
issues.
Now, there is underwear out there that has anatomical isolation.
And that’s basically where you’ve got a pouch for the boys.
Guys, and that underwear company is Sheath, the paid sponsor of today’s video.
And I have talked about these guys for years because my friend, Robert Patton started this
business.
It’s a veteran-owned business.
He was in Iraq.
It’s hot over in that part of the world and he was just wet all day and he’s trying
to figure out how to solve this.
He created the first prototype while he was in the service and then he create came out
and now this is the new 4.0.
And I can tell you guys, this is amazing underwear.
I’m wearing it right now and for years I’ve been using this underwear and I absolutely
love it.
What it does for cooling process is you’ve got that separate little package there for
your package and you don’t have skin on skin, you’ve got that just enough isolation
and it feels amazing.
And if you don’t believe, go to their website, check out all the reviews.
I got about ten pairs in my underwear drawer right now.
What I love about this is you can wash these again and again, they are very durable.
Guys, I’m linking to Sheath down in the description of this video with a discount
code.
That’s the best you’re going to find.
Use it or lose it.
A great company, veteran-owned business I am proud to support.
So now, let’s get into clothing and at this point I’m going to talk about shirts, I’m
going to talk about jackets, I’m going to talk about shorts, I’m going to talk about
tropical weight trousers, I’m going to talk about vest.
You’ve got a lot of options when it’s hot.
And I know you want to look good, but understand, yes, if it’s incredibly hot outside, you
may have to make some compromises and that’s what I’m going to talk about.
Now, when it comes to shorts, I think shorts are overplayed, but I do think that shorts
are perfectly fine.
I love shorts, but avoid the cargo shorts, instead go for something that has a sleeker
look something that is the right length for your height.
Now, if you’re a shorter guy maybe you want to go for a 7-inch or 6-inch inseam.
If you’re a taller guy, then that’s when you’re going to go for a 9-inch.
What you don’t want to go is find something that doesn’t fit your body type.
Now, when it comes to shirts, let’s start with the t-shirt.
Right here we’ve got a graphic tee from Sheath, but what I wanted to bring your attention
is that we’ve got the different types of material.
So, a hundred percent cotton, that’s perfectly fine, but it’s not going to be as cool as
some of the blends that you’re going to see out there.
This one right here, it’s made from 65% bamboo, 28% cotton, 8% spandex.
I love bamboo.
I think it’s one of the cooler materials out there.
Actually, has some moisture wicking materials.
It does a great job actually of odor resistance.
But, you’re going to see some other materials something that are going to be more of a synthetic.
This one a classic white t-shirt, looks good.
Now, this shirt right here is not a t-shirt and instantly the style level has stepped
up.
What I love about this one it’s made from a gauze weave.
That’s going to be a very breathable weave, something that air is going to flow right
through.
It’s a cotton material, very lightweight, just a great look still very casual, but to
me a bit more stylish than a t-shirt.
Now, two options you see here are the polo.
Now, these polos may look similar, but they’re actually very different.
This one right here, it’s a golf shirt.
How do I know?
Look at the neckline, look at the number of, you know, look at that placket how long it
goes down.
Four buttons, five buttons, that’s going to be a golf shirt.
Look at the pocket over there.
Again, that makes it a golf shirt.
[0:04:55] Now, the polo right here a very simple design,
very classic.
This is based off the tennis shirt or the polo shirt is now is commonly called, but
if you look at the history it comes out of the tennis world by Rene Lacoste.
And you’ll also see it’s overall a simple design.
The weave is a pea cotton and this is going to be very breathable, its going to be stretchable,
great for sports.
Now, we’re getting in the long sleeves.
When you look at the shirt, what do you notice it’s missing?
A collar.
So, it is going to be a very casual shirt even though it’s got a long sleeve, this
one is base off a design I saw over in India.
I really like the look of it.
And for me, this is going to be a casual long sleeve shirt.
I can wear if there are mosquitoes outside or if I just want to look good on the beach
something different.
Next up, I’ve got two dress shirts, both of them in a light check.
This one a little bit darker, but what’s interesting is this one is made from 100%
cotton and this one is made from a synthetic material that’s made specifically to be
moisture wicking.
Now, if you have to wear dress shirts, if you sweat a lot, look for companies that make
shirts that are specifically designed for hot weather.
This one actually has small holes in the armpits so that it’s a bit more breathable.
It’s made also have a four-way stretch.
Little things like that make it actually more breathable and more comfortable than this
cotton shirt.
This one right here, it’s great, but in hot weather I would definitely choose this
one which is made specifically for that type of weather.
Now, let’s talk about linen shirt.
So, linen shirts have issue and that is wrinkling, but if you can get past that, they have an
amazing property of being very breathable and being able to wick away moisture from
the body.
So, this one right here a 100% linen shirt, a little bit darker.
Works great, I have to iron it quite a bit, but overall a great looking shirt.
This one right here I love it, it’s a linen cotton blend.
If you can find this, I absolutely love it.
Linen cotton what’s great about it is it has oftentimes the best properties of cotton
a little bit more wrinkle-resistant than normal linen, but it’s got also some of the best
properties of linen, again, the moisture wicking away and the breathability.
Finally, let’s talk about jackets.
This jacket right here completely on line.
That means there’s no inner lining in this jacket, you’ve just got the material – it’s
going to be therefore more fragile, but it’s also going to be cooler.
This one is also made from a hopsack material.
It’s going to be very breathable.
This one made from a linen also has the issue with linen of wrinkling quite a bit.
Now, notice the pocket squares.
Pocket squares are an easy way if you want to not wear a necktie which wearing a necktie
in hot weather it’s – it’s tough sometimes.
So, wear the pocket square, show that you are stylish maybe put that jacket on, but,
yeah, look good and be cool.
All right, gentlemen, now it’s your turn.
I want to hear from you down in the comments.
Let me know what are you tips and tricks for hot weather.
How do you get around this how do you look sharp without sweating the boys off.
And speaking of the boys, guys, go check out Sheath, a great company.
I’m proud to support them.
I love Robert what he has done how he’s built this company how he is solving a problem.
So, if you get any type of chafing, any type of issues down there, you need to check out
Sheath.
I’m so proud of this entrepreneur going out there with an idea, making things happen.
You guys know I love to support fellow veteran entrepreneurs.
And that’s it, guys.
Take care.
