10 Ways to sweat less while staying in style

Sweat

Dressing in winters is such a joy because you can wear loads or layers and still look good but when it comes to summers, how much would you take off? And, when it comes to looking pleasing, with the rising temperature, the style goes down the drain. Nothing is worth wearing because sweat will ruin it all, the moment you step out of the house.

So, how do you manage to pull off that stylish appeal even in the hot months?

Find them out below.
  • Choose the right fabrics

    Fabrics are the most important feature that will help you sweat less. Invest in linen, Pima cotton, tropical wool and other such materials that can make you feel light & comfortable.

Right Fabric for Summer Season

  • Slip in half sleeves under the suit

    In order to sweat less, you have to make certain changes that will help you. A half sleeves shirt is not liked by a lot of men but who said anything about Polo shirts being harmful to your personality? Switch the Polo shirts with the regular ones.

Man In Suit

  • Lose the undershirt

    You must have heard a lot about sweat leaving stains in the armpits. However, the stain is colorless and the yellow marks are because of the deodorant and not sweat. So, lose the undershirt because it is just another layer that causes the sweat to accumulate. And, you don’t even have assets in the front that need the support like women do.

  • Don’t lose your underwear

    You can lose the undershirt but not your men’s underwear. Whether you’re heading to the gym or to work or even at home, losing your underneath wear will make you lose the support. You can invest in something men’s mesh underwear that enhances breathability but has something for sure.

  • Groom yourself 

    The first step to grooming is getting rid of the hair you have on your body. Cleaning the body and facial hair would make you sweat less because of no or minimal hair growth. Hence, you can experiment with this once to be sure.

Grooming
  • Cold water shower 

    Start your day with a cool water shower and end it on the same note - you wouldn’t be happier. We understand hot water bath relieves the stress but what about the same making you sweat all the more? Cool water shower is your perfect option.

  • Invest in wrinkle-free shirts 

    Have you seen those wrinkle-free shirts? They are made to be the most lightweight, comfortable and flexible fabrics, unlike the ones that need ironing every now and then. Invest in these shirts because it will help you stay cool.
  • Keep your cuffs unbuttoned 

    Did you know why do we apply cologne on the wrist? Because, the blood flow in that area produces heat, which helps the scent to work. So, if you keep your cuffs unbuttoned, it’ll release a lot of heat that won’t just stay inside but will be released out.

Keep Your Cuffs Unbuttoned

  • Ditch coffee

    Coffee produces a lot of heat in the body. There’s no point having caffeine when you have the option to have organic tea or green tea that is more beneficial than coffee.

  • Get rid of the insoles 

    Even if your most comfortable shoes state that they help you sweat less, they won’t be able to help you on that end. It would be better for you to get rid of them every now and then and slide it back when you want to.
Hope you sweat less this summer!!
