This summer is different from last year. Instead of last year's drought, we are now dealing with the sultry heat, which is at least as taxing on the body. Still, we have to work. But how do we survive the heat?
An air-conditioned room, the use of a fan, morning and evening ventilation, and adequate fluid replacement are our most common cooling techniques, but we can also do a lot to feel more comfortable with our clothes. While we can even undress at home, rules must be followed at work.
In terms of dressing at work during the summer holidays, we must take into account our job role, the rules, and of course, comfort can also be key in terms of productivity.
If you're new to the workplace, it's worth discussing the dress code with your co-workers. If there is a dress code, it's quite simple: you have to follow it. But even if there is none, it is still worth choosing what to wear so as not to put ourselves or others in an embarrassing situation.
Even if there is no separate regulation to define workplace attire, every workplace still has its own dress code.
Wear clothes made of light and breathable materials, but make sure that they are not transparent. Avoid thick and heavy materials, choose light clothes made of cotton or linen materials instead. These ventilate better and help keep you cool.
It can be so hot early in the morning that by the time we get to work, we're sweating. Some people may prefer skin-tight clothes, but sweating in them might be even worse. Instead, wear loose, loose-fitting clothes. Tight clothing can be uncomfortable in the heat, but it also restricts air flow.
Forget dark-colored clothes, because they absorb sunlight and only make you warmer, while lighter-colored clothes reflect sunlight and make you feel cooler.
The choice of footwear is also very important in general, but this is perhaps even more true during the heat wave. Wear light and breathable shoes. Closed and/or high-heeled shoes can not only be uncomfortable in the heat, but the feet can also easily sweat in them. All of this can cause discomfort, but what's worse is that it also increases the chance that the shoe will break your feet. A comfortable sandal or fabric footwear is the best option now.
