@@radhikasingh4011 For me it’s my armpits. As soon as I see sun, I am sweating. What helped with easing it was taking Vitamin B with Calcium, it helps calm my nerves. Getting anxious about sweating is one of the main reasons why you sweat more, because you hate it and that ultimately leads to anxiety.

I heard some male idols put sanitary pads on his clothes around underarm areas to avoid sweaty armpit during shows because they do a lot of dancing (place them inside the clothes, obviously). It makes some sense to me because sanitary pad is soft to skin, tremendously absorbance, and includes materials that prevent odor. It also works with soldier boots when on duty in hot areas too. 😅
I have a faint memory of trying it years ago with panty liners, because I thought sanitary pads are too thick and too big on my shirt. They did a good job keeping the sweaty area dry.
Yeah they work. I’ve tried this too. However, never adhere to a shiny surface shirt like silk. You may ruin your shirt with the adhesive. They make some underarm pads now.
Women have used “sweat pads” under arms for years. If using pads with sticky tape, make sure you shave your armpits as otherwise, it hurts when removing them later. 😁
These actually used to be a dedicated product. I believe they're called dress guards or sweater guards. Not sure to what extent they were used in menswear, but the one women's one I've seen had plastic in it as a moisture barrier and made little crackly noises.
I have personally found that it's best to have multiple layers of light clothing. You're not gonna get too warm and sweat too much but you will also have some layers to cover up any sweat stains so it won't be visible.
@@danielgamer8820 I live in Texas with 100+ degree summers.

Be aware, with white tops (or light colors in general) ~ you WILL stain them yellow/gray (esp linen) from your sweat. Be prepared to bleach them here and there. Synthetics dont usually hold up well to bleach unfortunately :/ You can also apply an extra strength antiperspirant THEN reapply with deodorant as you are in public gettin sweaty. Choose styles that allow you to breathe in sweaty areas or size up 1 ~ you can also wear a breatheable cotton undershirt to absorb sweat and prevent nicer dress shirts from getting stained/smelly.

@@manan-543 at that point I would look into your diet. You shouldn’t be sweating yellow from my understanding on human anatomy. You are the first person I have heard openly say that.

@@mrevilducky You don’t understand what it’s like to be a super hot and sweaty person with friends and family who insist on having a summer outdoor wedding on the hottest and most humid day.
Best tip I can give is in thr dressing room before buying shirts I bring a bottle of water and splash a little bit on the fabric to see how obvious the color change is.. I often go with 70 or 80 percent cotton, not 100 percent as they're as fresh but not as obviously wet..
If youre a REALLY sweaty person like I am, I heavily dont recommend wearing white. For small drops of sweat, its fine. But if youre like me, it becomes super obvious after a while. For me, I just wear an undershirt (preferably a plain white tshirt with short or no sleeves and a very wide neck hole, so that it doesnt look obvious youre wearing two shirts). If you cant stop yourself from sweating, might as well make it less obvious and more comfortable (undershirt gets sweaty, outershirt stays clean)
You could also opt for clothes with lager all-over prints (such as hawaiian shirts, but not limited to those) because the stains will be less noticable
If you sweat a lot, DO NOT WEAR COTTON ANYTHING! Cotton will absorb the sweat and keep you wet. Instead, wear a close-fitting, stretchy 100% synthetic undershirt and a 100% synthetic shirt. Sweat will immediately go from your skin to the undershirt (without beading up on your skin) and then quickly to the top layer where it will evaporate.
Jepp. Modern microfiber synthetics are a marvel. There's a reason, sportswear is made from that stuff and not natural fibers. Well, ok, it also just holds up to washing much better, keeps it shape, stays brightly colored and so on. Just beware of regular and especially cheap synthetic clothing. Because wearing an H&M polyester blouse (or shirt) will not make you happy, out in the sun. It has to be sportswear, pretty much. I've never tried wearing a sweat wicking synthetic undershirt under a regular polyester garment, though, so I can't speak to that. Gotta try that, just to see, if it works.
It has come to my attention that I am too poor to know about good synthetics.. however I wear a cotton underlayer all summer and it keeps me cooler than any synthetic clothes I own
Beginners mistake: Wool is actually perfect for summer! And no i'm not talking about them wool sweaters, but about thin made wool stuff, perfect is for example merinowool! Keeps you dry cause super absorbent, doesnt start to smell cause anti odor aaaand dries super fast so you wont see them sweat stains! You can thank me later 😉
If someone has sweat that is noticeably yellow, they should probably consult a doctor. I know if urine is too yellow, it's likely the person is dehydrated. If sweat is yellow? Idk...
You can also wear a pineapple fabric shirt. In the Philippines they're called Baron Tagalog, they're super comfortable, they breath, and cool to wear during the summer and looks very classy. They're very similar to Cuban shirt.
I would suggest dri-fit from uniqlo or the likes if you sweat easily. There will be no sweat stains and it dries off easily. Black cotton is a nightmare for sweaty people because of the white stains when sweat dries up
@@hashtagmate the white staining/markings that often show up on black clothing from intense sweating is a higher concentration of salt in the persons sweat. Often common among people doing intense physical activity but in general it’s overall common to see as it’s a stark contrast. Certain fabrics and blends will trap the salt residue build up deeper into the fibers making it harder to get out during washing. It’s has nothing to do with deodorant or antiperspirants. Those create a different type of white marking on the underarms and only certain types of deodorants even do that. Common examples are on the back of shirts, especially if someone is wear a backpack causing even more back sweat, collar area, underarms extending further down the sides of the body and interior of the tricep area (which typically don’t get deodorant put all the way that far anyways). For anyone with built up sweat stain problems on black clothing try pre wetting item with warm water, spraying the affected area with hydrogen peroxide and gently scrub with a soft bristle brush, follow up with a drop or two of soap and let it sit for a few then rinse. For more intense set in stains instead of rinsing after sprinkle baking soda and scrub area again then spray white distilled vinegar and let it sit for 15-30 min and then rinse and see where you’re at. Cottons and cotton blends tend to really hold onto that salty sweat residue build up and it won’t just come out in a wash on its own so it ends up building up overtime until the person finally notices a drastic color change in their clothes or a fading white cast stain technically. If you’re gonna wear black and anticipate intense sweating look for performance fabrics that are wicking and breathable. They’re lightweight and sweat stains easily come out as the fabrics are treated to repel moisture and certain substances. Most high quality performance fabrics are often anti-stink and anti-microbial tech built in (think what hikers and outdoors performance wear needs are and often why it can get very pricey). There are companies that make men’s dress wear in athletic or performance fabrics now. I cannot remember any brands off the top of my head but you can search through Amazon and google with things like Mens performance dress shirts sweat wicking button up collared shirts performance active fabric dress pants etc. my husband sweats easily and a lot, he’s a weightlifter and firefighter and all his clothes involve lotsa sweat, it’s taken years to slowly guide him into the right types of fabrics for his lifestyle and activities as well as the right cuts for muscular athletic builds but overall so much better. Also we live in Florida so that’s a fun extra sweat bonus.
@@klbs9630 l think that would not be so much a problem if you do not over apply deodorant. I've never seen salt build up on my garments but that's just me. Also sweat builds up and reacts with deodorant forming those dreaded yellow pit stains. Never wear the same shirt twice! Tops need to be washed after every wear. To stop the pit stains from forming at all buy the ones that don't form stains. After l discovered such products, it's been like, where have you been all my life??? Before what l had to do was spritz all my shirts with vinegar before washing them from the stains. Such stains are very obvious on light colored clothing. Dark colored stained clothing doesn't bother me because it's not obvious unless there's a lingering smell
My advice as a sweaty person is to 1. Stop caring if people see your sweat stains, nobody is looking at your with that much detail. 2. Stop restricting fluid movement to hide sweat stains, it just makes them worse. And 3. Wear clothing that flows a bit and isn’t tight against your body.
I used to sweat very easily in summer, it's uncomfortable to wear a shirt with wet pits, sometimes the sweat will literally stain clothes. People care about it because it's unsightly. This video is for people who do care about it being visible and he's not saying you should care.
@@TuberoseKisser I’m just going off my personal experience. I still sweat a lot in hot weather or social events. But what I’ve noticed, is when I try and hide my sweat stains or am self conscious about it I just sweat more. When I say F it and stop caring I sweat wayyy less. But everyone is different
Polyester drys very fast but starts smelling pretty fast and is also very unhealthy for your skin! Everything with poly is made of fossil oil, you might aswell shower in that! Try linen, hemp and merinowool
If you're attending an event where you mustn't sweat a lot, try anti-perspirants. It blocks your pores under your arms, neck, etc. so sweat won't come out. But only use anti-perspirant sparingly and don't use it everyday. You could risk overheating and passing out or having a heat stroke. Sweating is the body's natural way of cooling down and preventing from overheating.
Modal and lyocell is cool to the touch. Suitable for summer. Or my go to material, cotton. Wear light colors like white, baby pink, blue or green. Great colors for summer and doesn’t absorb much heat. Try to go for loose pieces to allow for air circulation between body and clothing to feel cooler.
Great tips. As a performing musician I often have to dress up, and black is a life saver. I do wish I could do nice grey/colored shirts without sweating through them before I even get on stage. Great content!
THAAAANK YOOUU!! I HAAAATE SUMMMERR!!! I’m literally going to a summer wedding in august but I absolutely HATE! Summer because any heat makes me sweat uncomfortably! I’m going to use these tips thank I.
Wear a white merino wool t shirt as an underlayer. It'll absorb so much sweat. You'll probably feel pretty hot but at least you won't have sweat patches
You can also get reusable or disposable dress shields, which are absorbent pads that are either safety pinned in or use a light adhesive! They will absorb a LOT of sweat. Make sure your shirt is very opaque, though. There are also specialized undershirts available, but a 100% cotton undershirt does a good job on moderate sweat.
As a person who sweats alot my tip is that dont wear skin tight clothes or just clothes that are fitted a little bit loose outfit is much more comfortable for me and makes me sweat less around 50 to 60%
Wools can be quite different and thin, lightweight, aka Tropical Wool can be ideal for sweaty situations. Used to wear a lot of lightweight wool when I’d bike commute, would arrive drenched and be completely air dried in an hour! Amazing stuff, don’t fade the wool
Also, cotton can be ok or terrible for sweating, depending. Cotton is breathable at first but loses its breathability as it retains moisture. Wet cotton can cool you down (or freeze you), but it def won’t keep you dry. Any avid backpacker avoids cotton.
Also Uniqlo has these undershirts that are some kind of moisture wicking breezy synthetic, airism, I found that very helpful wearing button ups in hot humid weather. I found it more comfortable and I didn’t visibly sweat through the outer layer
Hot tip (pun intended) for people struggling with underarm stains: clothes with penguin sleeves/dropped sleeves. Leaves the armpits free and airy without touching any fabric they can stain.
Idk what penguin sleeves are but I love VERY short sleeve with an open hole for the armpits so armpits aren't covered but my fat arms look a little better than in sleeveless shirts. A bit of the arm is covered on top.
@@dickottel It's when the fabric of the sleeve doesn't go all the way to your armpit but stops before it and tapers to your waist - nothing of the fabric clings to your sweat stains
Thanks so much! I sweat easily and I live in the tropics. Most weddings here are held in hotels and fuction halls that have AC. But I attended my friend's garden wedding and I was stressing so much about the temperature. And the stress made me sweat more. 😅
I have hyperhydrosis, and let me tell you, its not only weather that can make me sweat a lot. Stress, anxiety, and even just by thinking, or doing something minimal can make my scalp, back, and chest to sweat a lot. And having obvious sweat marks on my clothes make me sweat more, so my advise is to wear dry fit clothes anywhere and anytime if you’re outside.
I find Linen is superior to cotton, but even a fabric that is a blend of Linen & cotton is better than 100% cotton... And I am a person who can break a sweat in below zero temperatures without even wearing the appropriate winter weather apparel. 💁🏼♂️ Yes, I actually give off enough heat that I can walk barefoot in the snow, with little effort. Half the time I wonder if I have a fever when I exercise, as my skin gets hot enough that if I run cold water over myself, that it'll be nearly room temperature afterwards. 😅
If you’re sweaty then I suggest getting a quick wick base layer that is synthetic. They distribute moister quickly. Check out the sheer base for running or cycling. Also wear metal bracelets, necklace. They help you rid heat faster. Finally, if you visit your outdoor sports they have these neck piece that you can use water to keep you cool. With all this said your kinda screwed if the humidity is 80%+ no matter what you do. If that is the case invest in a chain mail base. They’re not cheap but they’ll keep you cooler.
You can buy a cotton or linen suit but if it’s lined with synthetic or non breathable fabrics it doesn’t matter what the rest of the garment is made of. Most suits using natural fibres are still lined with polyester or a poly blend thereby rendering the breathable aspects of the linen or cotton useless. Wool is also a very breathable fabric so I don’t know why you’ve told people to steer clear of wool. Although yes cotton and linen are more lightweight for summer, wool isn’t a bad option. I’d also personally be looking to ensure the lining is breathable fabric (eg: bemberg) and that the suit is half lined. I’d also be sticking away from darker colours if possible if you want to reduce heat as much as possible. At the end of the day if it’s a hot day you’re going to be hot. What you want to aim for is an outfit that doesn’t hold the moisture (aka sweat) in. You want an outfit that will dissipate the sweat and also not show sweat patches.
Yeah, cotton is the worst fabric for sweating in. It absorbs obscene amounts of moisture, takes ages to dry and is a perfect incubator for bacteria that lead to the typical sweaty smell.
Gold Bond powder on where you sweat (underarms, small of back, back of neck and knees, etc) or where you don't want your clothes to be wet. Probably just for special occasions though.
linen and cotton are not more breathable than wool or polyfabrics, they are just colder in the summer/warm you less, so they will make you sweat at a later point. but cotton has a hard time drying when wet. a thin merino wool shirt would be ideal or a mixed fabric that is not entirely made of cotton. the problem with a lot of artificial fabric clothes is that they are too dense in structure. they can actually be very breathable, hence they dominate the athletic sector. usually a mix of cotton and artificial fabrics will have better breathability and moisture wicking properties than straight up cotton. i recommend uniqlo for moisture wicking, anti sweat basics that don't break the bank.
You can also buy sweat guards for your underarms which can also be very helpful, and they'll also protect your clothes from staining due to sweat or deodorant
I wasn’t a sweaty person a few years ago but for some reason I have become more of one. 😅 I find polyester feels cooling and keeps me cooler for some reason than cotton? The polyester underwear for workouts is cooler as well than thick cotton.
To my fellow sweaty people; INVEST IN A GOOD ANTIPERSPIRANT! I've used CertainDri, following the directions to the letter, and it is truly a life changer. Then, I use an antiperspirant/deodorant combo once I am dried off out of the shower/bath - personally, I use Old Spice Lavender, the solid, white, stick kind. I'm a lady, but I really like the smell lol, and I've found that it lasts better than antiperspirant/deodorants marketed towards women, that I've used in the past like Dove, etc.
I grew up in a family consisting of mainly women, which isn't a bad thing, but I never learned how to dress properly after I transitioned (I'm a transgender FTM). So, watching this channel specifically has helped me a lot, and I mean *a lot* so. I just wanted to say thanks. :)
When I have orchestra practice (like one of the only times I go out), I’m always cliches and sweating (while my sister has chill bumps lol) and I’ve learned that no matter what I wear, I’m gonna be hot so I wear denim pants mostly bc it won’t leave a sweat mark and then just a random t shirt
The thing that helped me most was getting merino wool shirts. Cotton just soaks up your sweat, merino wool wicks it away. I don't know why he recommended the opposite.
my tip (idk if this is helpful for everybody) is to wear something with wide sleeves so the fabric doesn't touch your underarm or to just wear something sleeveless. i personally sweat the most when i have fabric stuffed right up in my armpit
On the other hand, wool is odor resistant. For me the odor is the worst problem and if I've gotten sweaty/smelly in a cotton shirt, it will get smelly every time I use it, despite washing myself and the shirt.
My hyperhydrosis on point. 😅 apparently it’s psychological and mostly due to stress which I guess explains why it would stop happening for a bit or start up randomly. I don’t as much anymore unless I’m doing a lot of physical activity + anxiety
Ngl as a person who sweats even on an air conditioned room, layering SURPRISINGLY helps a bit. Maybe not use a jacket but those denim ones help. They not only hide the sweat but also keeps your already sweaty body, cool kinda like how a cooler works. Also helps with the sun. Shit, while youre at it, just wear the denim jacket as is, no undershirt whatsoever. the sweat barely show and extra protection from the sun. Id suggest cotton But it is super annoying and irritating tho.
As a sweaty person. Do every prevention method, and accept that being easyly sweat is who we are. Dont need to feel so self concious about it, you already do your best.
This style only really works for those with longer leg than torso ratio. I have short legs and they dont really make many high waisted pants for long-torso & short-legs combo. And even then if they did, i wouldnt be able to wear just a shirt because then youd see that the there's this huge gap of fabric from torso down to crotch area thus elimnating the illusion of length but i guess yea i wouldnt be sweating so thatd be the only plus lol
I already dress like this and I'm still sweating balls lmao

And no i'm not talking about them wool sweaters, but about thin made wool stuff, perfect is for example merinowool! Keeps you dry cause super absorbent, doesnt start to smell cause anti odor aaaand dries super fast so you wont see them sweat stains! You can thank me later 😉
Since sweat has a slightely yellow colour (for some people) it will be seen more on white fabric. Have that in mind
If someone has sweat that is noticeably yellow, they should probably consult a doctor. I know if urine is too yellow, it's likely the person is dehydrated. If sweat is yellow? Idk...
Thats due to the deodorant not the sweat
as someone who is from Brazil, I don't recommend using black shirts as it gets a lot hotter than the white ones
You can also wear a pineapple fabric shirt. In the Philippines they're called Baron Tagalog, they're super comfortable, they breath, and cool to wear during the summer and looks very classy. They're very similar to Cuban shirt.
Pro tip, cotton will wick sweat, but won't evaporate. Polyester and rayon are my go to fabrics for sweat evaporation so I don't have pit stains.
I would suggest dri-fit from uniqlo or the likes if you sweat easily. There will be no sweat stains and it dries off easily. Black cotton is a nightmare for sweaty people because of the white stains when sweat dries up
I mean the stain is not from the sweat but from the deodorant- might be an important piece of information if you genuinely didn't know that!
@@hashtagmate i experienced having white stains from dried up sweat on my collar. I don't put deodorant on my neck
@@hashtagmate the white staining/markings that often show up on black clothing from intense sweating is a higher concentration of salt in the persons sweat. Often common among people doing intense physical activity but in general it’s overall common to see as it’s a stark contrast. Certain fabrics and blends will trap the salt residue build up deeper into the fibers making it harder to get out during washing. It’s has nothing to do with deodorant or antiperspirants. Those create a different type of white marking on the underarms and only certain types of deodorants even do that. Common examples are on the back of shirts, especially if someone is wear a backpack causing even more back sweat, collar area, underarms extending further down the sides of the body and interior of the tricep area (which typically don’t get deodorant put all the way that far anyways).
For anyone with built up sweat stain problems on black clothing try pre wetting item with warm water, spraying the affected area with hydrogen peroxide and gently scrub with a soft bristle brush, follow up with a drop or two of soap and let it sit for a few then rinse. For more intense set in stains instead of rinsing after sprinkle baking soda and scrub area again then spray white distilled vinegar and let it sit for 15-30 min and then rinse and see where you’re at. Cottons and cotton blends tend to really hold onto that salty sweat residue build up and it won’t just come out in a wash on its own so it ends up building up overtime until the person finally notices a drastic color change in their clothes or a fading white cast stain technically.
If you’re gonna wear black and anticipate intense sweating look for performance fabrics that are wicking and breathable. They’re lightweight and sweat stains easily come out as the fabrics are treated to repel moisture and certain substances. Most high quality performance fabrics are often anti-stink and anti-microbial tech built in (think what hikers and outdoors performance wear needs are and often why it can get very pricey).
There are companies that make men’s dress wear in athletic or performance fabrics now. I cannot remember any brands off the top of my head but you can search through Amazon and google with things like Mens performance dress shirts sweat wicking button up collared shirts performance active fabric dress pants etc. my husband sweats easily and a lot, he’s a weightlifter and firefighter and all his clothes involve lotsa sweat, it’s taken years to slowly guide him into the right types of fabrics for his lifestyle and activities as well as the right cuts for muscular athletic builds but overall so much better. Also we live in Florida so that’s a fun extra sweat bonus.
@@klbs9630 l think that would not be so much a problem if you do not over apply deodorant. I've never seen salt build up on my garments but that's just me. Also sweat builds up and reacts with deodorant forming those dreaded yellow pit stains. Never wear the same shirt twice! Tops need to be washed after every wear. To stop the pit stains from forming at all buy the ones that don't form stains. After l discovered such products, it's been like, where have you been all my life???
Before what l had to do was spritz all my shirts with vinegar before washing them from the stains. Such stains are very obvious on light colored clothing. Dark colored stained clothing doesn't bother me because it's not obvious unless there's a lingering smell
Are you talking about the airism shirts? Bought it in dark grey and boy they are the easiest garment to stain if I sweat even just a little bit.
My advice as a sweaty person is to 1. Stop caring if people see your sweat stains, nobody is looking at your with that much detail. 2. Stop restricting fluid movement to hide sweat stains, it just makes them worse. And 3. Wear clothing that flows a bit and isn’t tight against your body.
I used to sweat very easily in summer, it's uncomfortable to wear a shirt with wet pits, sometimes the sweat will literally stain clothes. People care about it because it's unsightly. This video is for people who do care about it being visible and he's not saying you should care.
@@TuberoseKisser I’m just going off my personal experience. I still sweat a lot in hot weather or social events. But what I’ve noticed, is when I try and hide my sweat stains or am self conscious about it I just sweat more. When I say F it and stop caring I sweat wayyy less. But everyone is different
I actually enjoy wide synthetic (polyester) blouses as they’re airy, and don’t show any sweat. I also find it very breathable but it can’t be tight!
Polyester drys very fast but starts smelling pretty fast and is also very unhealthy for your skin! Everything with poly is made of fossil oil, you might aswell shower in that! Try linen, hemp and merinowool
If you're attending an event where you mustn't sweat a lot, try anti-perspirants.
It blocks your pores under your arms, neck, etc. so sweat won't come out. But only use anti-perspirant sparingly and don't use it everyday. You could risk overheating and passing out or having a heat stroke.
Sweating is the body's natural way of cooling down and preventing from overheating.
Dude, id have to take a shower in that in order to not sweat lol
I am 27 years old and I really love these videos because it's like getting tips from the big brother I never had! Thank you!
As a Florida man you cannot escape sweating if you’re going out
I love I found this side of CZcams shorts! It’s refreshing seeing a well dressed man!
*whispers* Modal...the softness! its like euphoric level comfort without the wrinkles of linen
Genial , disfrutó tus tres consejos . Suige presentando esa calidad por favor! Muchas gracias .
Im a girl and I needed this. Thank you!
Modal and lyocell is cool to the touch. Suitable for summer. Or my go to material, cotton. Wear light colors like white, baby pink, blue or green. Great colors for summer and doesn’t absorb much heat. Try to go for loose pieces to allow for air circulation between body and clothing to feel cooler.
Great tips. As a performing musician I often have to dress up, and black is a life saver. I do wish I could do nice grey/colored shirts without sweating through them before I even get on stage. Great content!
You forgot the most important one: don’t go to summer weddings. Odds are they won’t last anyways.
wool is actually one of the best fabrics for summer, but the garment has to be thin for even better breathability
Light wool is different from normal wool and is also good in the summer!
damn you always look so good man, it's unbelievable!
THAAAANK YOOUU!! I HAAAATE SUMMMERR!!!
I’m literally going to a summer wedding in august but I absolutely HATE! Summer because any heat makes me sweat uncomfortably! I’m going to use these tips thank I.
Wear a white merino wool t shirt as an underlayer. It'll absorb so much sweat. You'll probably feel pretty hot but at least you won't have sweat patches
Parker coming through again I kind of knew dark stuff but he gives the proper breakdown 💯
This man has so many weddings to go to
Hahaha I’ve just been to too many and have all the tips
@@ParkerYorkSmith 😂 I love your videos ❤ Do you own the Baracuta G9 jacket as well? I was thinking about buying one
@@rafscheringa93 G9 is really a nice sartorial garment. go for it
@@rafscheringa93 i have no wedding to go to 😢. Nobody invites me to parties 😢😂😂
I find unique content on your channel than any other Fashion channels on CZcams. Thank you for your content 🙏
You can also get reusable or disposable dress shields, which are absorbent pads that are either safety pinned in or use a light adhesive! They will absorb a LOT of sweat. Make sure your shirt is very opaque, though. There are also specialized undershirts available, but a 100% cotton undershirt does a good job on moderate sweat.
As a person who sweats alot my tip is that dont wear skin tight clothes or just clothes that are fitted a little bit loose outfit is much more comfortable for me and makes me sweat less around 50 to 60%
My black TShirts in summer always turn into retro 90‘s Tshirts with white circles.
idk why i'm so obsessed with these i'm a freaking 16 year old girl 😭😭
guess i can just appreciate a man with a great fashion sense
Wools can be quite different and thin, lightweight, aka Tropical Wool can be ideal for sweaty situations. Used to wear a lot of lightweight wool when I’d bike commute, would arrive drenched and be completely air dried in an hour! Amazing stuff, don’t fade the wool
Also, cotton can be ok or terrible for sweating, depending. Cotton is breathable at first but loses its breathability as it retains moisture. Wet cotton can cool you down (or freeze you), but it def won’t keep you dry. Any avid backpacker avoids cotton.
Sweaty person here. Best thing to get is a high quality under shirt that's thin and breathable with a small percentage of spandex in it!
Also Uniqlo has these undershirts that are some kind of moisture wicking breezy synthetic, airism, I found that very helpful wearing button ups in hot humid weather. I found it more comfortable and I didn’t visibly sweat through the outer layer
Can I just say thank you? I have watched a lot of your shorts and they sure came in handy.
3XDry material was a game changer for me. Got a shirt from Alchemy equipment and never looked back
Hot tip (pun intended) for people struggling with underarm stains: clothes with penguin sleeves/dropped sleeves. Leaves the armpits free and airy without touching any fabric they can stain.
Idk what penguin sleeves are but I love VERY short sleeve with an open hole for the armpits so armpits aren't covered but my fat arms look a little better than in sleeveless shirts. A bit of the arm is covered on top.
@@dickottel It's when the fabric of the sleeve doesn't go all the way to your armpit but stops before it and tapers to your waist - nothing of the fabric clings to your sweat stains
There’s also sweat guards which is just a piece of cotton that can be stuck on the arm pit to reduce sweat stains as well
Thanks so much! I sweat easily and I live in the tropics. Most weddings here are held in hotels and fuction halls that have AC. But I attended my friend's garden wedding and I was stressing so much about the temperature. And the stress made me sweat more. 😅
I have hyperhydrosis, and let me tell you, its not only weather that can make me sweat a lot. Stress, anxiety, and even just by thinking, or doing something minimal can make my scalp, back, and chest to sweat a lot. And having obvious sweat marks on my clothes make me sweat more, so my advise is to wear dry fit clothes anywhere and anytime if you’re outside.
Sometimes im shocked people continue to get marriage ceremonies, then I remember how insanely powerful the glaslighting from married relatives is
I find Linen is superior to cotton, but even a fabric that is a blend of Linen & cotton is better than 100% cotton... And I am a person who can break a sweat in below zero temperatures without even wearing the appropriate winter weather apparel. 💁🏼♂️
Yes, I actually give off enough heat that I can walk barefoot in the snow, with little effort.
Half the time I wonder if I have a fever when I exercise, as my skin gets hot enough that if I run cold water over myself, that it'll be nearly room temperature afterwards. 😅
"Hyperhidrosis" same here😅
If you’re sweaty then I suggest getting a quick wick base layer that is synthetic. They distribute moister quickly. Check out the sheer base for running or cycling. Also wear metal bracelets, necklace. They help you rid heat faster. Finally, if you visit your outdoor sports they have these neck piece that you can use water to keep you cool. With all this said your kinda screwed if the humidity is 80%+ no matter what you do. If that is the case invest in a chain mail base. They’re not cheap but they’ll keep you cooler.
You can buy a cotton or linen suit but if it’s lined with synthetic or non breathable fabrics it doesn’t matter what the rest of the garment is made of. Most suits using natural fibres are still lined with polyester or a poly blend thereby rendering the breathable aspects of the linen or cotton useless.
Wool is also a very breathable fabric so I don’t know why you’ve told people to steer clear of wool. Although yes cotton and linen are more lightweight for summer, wool isn’t a bad option. I’d also personally be looking to ensure the lining is breathable fabric (eg: bemberg) and that the suit is half lined. I’d also be sticking away from darker colours if possible if you want to reduce heat as much as possible.
At the end of the day if it’s a hot day you’re going to be hot. What you want to aim for is an outfit that doesn’t hold the moisture (aka sweat) in. You want an outfit that will dissipate the sweat and also not show sweat patches.
I'm not even a very sweaty person and I still avoid summer weddings like the plague 😂
Yeah, cotton is the worst fabric for sweating in. It absorbs obscene amounts of moisture, takes ages to dry and is a perfect incubator for bacteria that lead to the typical sweaty smell.
Gold Bond powder on where you sweat (underarms, small of back, back of neck and knees, etc) or where you don't want your clothes to be wet. Probably just for special occasions though.
If it makes sense with the fit, Thompson Tees do work really well!
My new favourite channel dude, love the suggestions
linen and cotton are not more breathable than wool or polyfabrics, they are just colder in the summer/warm you less, so they will make you sweat at a later point. but cotton has a hard time drying when wet. a thin merino wool shirt would be ideal or a mixed fabric that is not entirely made of cotton. the problem with a lot of artificial fabric clothes is that they are too dense in structure. they can actually be very breathable, hence they dominate the athletic sector. usually a mix of cotton and artificial fabrics will have better breathability and moisture wicking properties than straight up cotton. i recommend uniqlo for moisture wicking, anti sweat basics that don't break the bank.
Thompson tee undershirts are a godsend
You can also buy sweat guards for your underarms which can also be very helpful, and they'll also protect your clothes from staining due to sweat or deodorant
I wasn’t a sweaty person a few years ago but for some reason I have become more of one. 😅 I find polyester feels cooling and keeps me cooler for some reason than cotton? The polyester underwear for workouts is cooler as well than thick cotton.
As a sweaty person that loves to dance, I just bring a change of clothes with me so I can change mid event and keep enjoying myself.
To my fellow sweaty people; INVEST IN A GOOD ANTIPERSPIRANT!
I've used CertainDri, following the directions to the letter, and it is truly a life changer. Then, I use an antiperspirant/deodorant combo once I am dried off out of the shower/bath - personally, I use Old Spice Lavender, the solid, white, stick kind. I'm a lady, but I really like the smell lol, and I've found that it lasts better than antiperspirant/deodorants marketed towards women, that I've used in the past like Dove, etc.
I grew up in a family consisting of mainly women, which isn't a bad thing, but I never learned how to dress properly after I transitioned (I'm a transgender FTM). So, watching this channel specifically has helped me a lot, and I mean *a lot* so. I just wanted to say thanks. :)
I can't even wear pants on hot days.
My best tip is to get a kilt if you're as sensitive to heat as I am. A nice kilt is still relatively formal 🤷♂️
Dude, thank you so much for your work. It helps a lot
You left off the most important, wear deodorant and sweat shields/sweat guards
Oh and another thing; black absorbs heat so wearing lighter colours are cooler and more breathable
Great advice, not just for men.
That knit polo really did me in. I want my future man to dress like this🙃
Wear a undershirt like a white cotton crew or vneck. No sweat will show and is just awesome.
When I have orchestra practice (like one of the only times I go out), I’m always cliches and sweating (while my sister has chill bumps lol) and I’ve learned that no matter what I wear, I’m gonna be hot so I wear denim pants mostly bc it won’t leave a sweat mark and then just a random t shirt
Also bring a couple of changes in case you sweat thru the first outfit at the ceremony.
saving this for family events lmao
I’m a chick and I love your channel more than chick fashion channels thank you 🎉
Actually wool is very breathable and you can actually be comfortable in wool in a warm climate if it’s a thin wool not worsted.
I will tie a hoodie around my neck because it's adds depth and makes it look like I'm not literally wearing a T and sweatpants
The thing that helped me most was getting merino wool shirts. Cotton just soaks up your sweat, merino wool wicks it away. I don't know why he recommended the opposite.
A reason why I want a comfortable early to mid fall wedding
cotton is lighter but once you sweat and its wet it stays wet and isn't quick drying. polyester wicks sweat and is quick drying
my tip (idk if this is helpful for everybody) is to wear something with wide sleeves so the fabric doesn't touch your underarm or to just wear something sleeveless. i personally sweat the most when i have fabric stuffed right up in my armpit
The polo with dress pants 💕
On the other hand, wool is odor resistant. For me the odor is the worst problem and if I've gotten sweaty/smelly in a cotton shirt, it will get smelly every time I use it, despite washing myself and the shirt.
I’ve got prom in 100 degrees. Any advice? I want to dress down a bit, but the event asks us to come in full suit. Great vid btw.
try to get a linen suit maybe? or see if you’re allowed to go without the jacket because it’s too hot?
@@tylerrslays yeah I was thinking about that. Thx
Look for summer suits, choose a linen fabric and wear a linen polo / dress shirt :) and choose lighter colors too
I don’t recommend black if you sweat a lot. You will have salty patches on your clothes when the sweat dries.

My hyperhydrosis on point. 😅 apparently it’s psychological and mostly due to stress which I guess explains why it would stop happening for a bit or start up randomly. I don’t as much anymore unless I’m doing a lot of physical activity + anxiety
Ngl as a person who sweats even on an air conditioned room, layering SURPRISINGLY helps a bit. Maybe not use a jacket but those denim ones help. They not only hide the sweat but also keeps your already sweaty body, cool kinda like how a cooler works. Also helps with the sun. Shit, while youre at it, just wear the denim jacket as is, no undershirt whatsoever. the sweat barely show and extra protection from the sun. Id suggest cotton
But it is super annoying and irritating tho.
Dude - white brings up sweat on linen like nothing else, along with EVERY OTHER LINEN SHIRT EVER
As a sweaty person. Do every prevention method, and accept that being easyly sweat is who we are.
Dont need to feel so self concious about it, you already do your best.
This style only really works for those with longer leg than torso ratio.
I have short legs and they dont really make many high waisted pants for long-torso & short-legs combo. And even then if they did, i wouldnt be able to wear just a shirt because then youd see that the there's this huge gap of fabric from torso down to crotch area thus elimnating the illusion of length but i guess yea i wouldnt be sweating so thatd be the only plus lol
Thanks for the tips, man. Nice hair!
