How to Dress Your Man to Keep Him Cool in Hot, Humid Weather

My husband would run around stark naked if he could get away with it, especially in the summer. Unfortunately, that is not an option especially since we had our daughter and she is now a teenager. My husband hates to wear heavy clothes because he is hot natured and the weather here in the south is very humid. Therefore, he is always looking for the best breathable clothes for humid climates and in particular breathable men's pants. Some fabrics are more desirable for humid climates.

Cotton is an extremely breathable fabric and makes an excellent material for breathable men's pants. Cotton summer pants are comfortable, easy to care for and make a great choice for both dressy and casual men's pants. My husband's favorite summer, lightweight pants are the Cotton Miramar Pants ($45) from IslandImporter.com. These breathable cotton men's pants are perfect for relaxing this summer and taking it easy.

For a dressy summer pant, he flips over and order the linen pants at Island Importer. Linen is a lightweight, breathable fabric that is perfect for humid climates because it keeps moisture away and feels cool. The Linen Amalfi Pant ($65) is 100% linen. Linen blends tend not to be as breathable as linen so choose pants like this for the best comfort in humid weather.

I joked with my husband when he told me he was getting parachute pants that he was not 18 anymore. However, I did not realize that Orvis has these Parachute Cloth Pants ($185) that are great looking and comfortable in the summer. The fabric is great for humid weather but have a crisp, clean look and are durable.

Twill pants are another great option for summer and humid weather. They look great and can be dressed up or down. Scott Barber Lightweight Twill Pants (about $125 retail) are a great choice for humid weather and you can find them on sale for about $50 at Sierra Trading Post.

Orvis has a great Summer-Weight Bush Poplin pant ($59 on sale) that my husband loves to wear during the summer. This is one of his favorite pairs of pants because they keep him cool during the hot, humid months of summer. These pants are made from breathable fabric making them comfortable to wear. Every man needs a good pair of lightweight khaki pants and these fit the bill perfectly. The mock leather trim gives these khaki pants just the right touch of class for a causal summer event.
