Too Hot For Jeans? Try These Breathable Pants For Summer | Wearing Denim In Hot Temperatures
About this video
Centeno provides guidance on wearing denim in hot weather by recommending lighter fabric weights and alternative pants options. He explains that choosing jeans under 12 ounces, ensuring proper fit with room for air circulation, and considering alternatives like chinos or lightweight dress pants can help men stay comfortable and look good in sweltering temperatures.
Key takeaways
- Centeno recommends selecting denim that weighs 8-12 ounces or less, as heavier fabrics (12-22+ ounces) retain heat and are less breathable in hot weather
- Centeno suggests considering alternatives to denim such as lightweight chinos or breathable dress pants made from lightweight wool or linen for hot weather occasions
- Centeno advises choosing a slightly looser fit than usual and cuffing or rolling jeans at the bottom to allow air circulation and prevent chafing from sweat
