It doesn't matter if it's 100 degrees outside, I'll still be wearing long sleeves...

Short sleeves are for normies.

Apparently this is a thing, and now it's pretty much being studied as some kind of phenomenon...

I started exclusively wearing long sleeves some years back. I just like being covered up. I don't like cool air and other sensations on my skin. Touching against surfaces with my bare skin... not ideal. I prefer to be covered, and warm all the time.

Sometimes just a long sleeve shirt is enough, but even then I get cold. Doesn't matter if it's the middle of summer.

Cardigans, jackets, sweatshirts, hoodies... they're indispensable items of clothing for me.

That article seems to paint things as mostly psychological, and I can understand that to a degree. But I really think it's about temperature comfortability too.

I think some people choose warmth for the sake of evolution. Staying covered up improves survival for a number of reasons.

I don't think it's a new concept to wear long sleeve light colored clothing in the summer to keep sun exposure and heat under control. It's actually cooler with that barrier between your skin and the sun.

But the choice in clothing/fabric seems to be getting thicker over time.

Whereas a sort of thin white cotton long sleeve shirt might be pretty normal, it sounds like people are starting to wear much thicker cotton garments instead.

Thick cotton absorbs sweat, so it might actually keep you cooler than no sleeves.

I have a feeling that's the case.

I've pulled the whole "hoodie in the house" bit a few times this summer, and I've worn it outside too. It's been around 90 degrees and I've gone out and strolled around for 10 or 15 minutes cutting down these little walnut trees that keep trying to grow everywhere. I got less hot wearing the hoodie than when I went out yesterday in a regular shirt and was just walking around.

People used to make fun of Billy Corgan for wearing so many clothes, but maybe that guy was onto something...

There are pics of the AJ appearance and Alex Jones keeps it like 40 F in the studio.

But as you can see by the other pics, he ALWAYS dresses that way.

I personally think it's because it's cold as fuck on this planet...

Regardless though... I think wearing more clothes helps you maintain a more constant, warm body temperature. I'm so for real, hear me out.

By keeping yourself insulated, you're avoiding fluctuations into cold temperatures, which means you'll have better blood flow.

You keep yourself on a scale from warm to hot, and it guarantees a properly functioning body.

There are exceptions though, like you're jogging or something, or you're in the full sun, the most you should be wearing is a light fabric (cotton) long sleeve shirt and a hat with a wide brim.

When you start thinking about it, this all really just seems like common sense. I think we've slowly been brainwashed out of common sense as a society to the point that basic shit like this isn't even taught anymore.

I see people going around dressed in short sleeves and shorts and sandals and NO HATS... and I just can't understand it. I really can't. I don't give a shit where you live, there's no excuse for dressing that way, ESPECIALLY when it's super hot/sunny out.

Technically, for the right sun exposure, you'd be wearing an outfit like that in early October or something just to maximize sun exposure to receive natural vitamin D.

All the rest of the summer, you should be covering up and wearing a hat, unless you're trying to dose up on vit D and get your sun exposure on purpose. But you really only need max 30 min. 4 days per week depending on your natural skin tone. It's generally agreed upon that 30 min. is enough for anyone, but a little too much for some. 20 minutes is conservative and too little for some people so I think it's better to spend that long out in the sun dressed for that purpose.

But if you're just working outside or being in the sun because you HAVE to be, then you cover up the arms, wear a wide brim hat and so on.
