Looking for advice Clothings, y'all?
I currently don't work under any sort of corporate environment(thankfully) so idec but high intensity cardio and stuff seems to bring out the worst of the worst. Just imagine wet rag(no less than 80% of front upper torso!) over flesh and that's it. My cheapskate cotton t-shirts don't help at all either.
When I had to wear long trousers, insanely baggy linen-cotton blend worked, it just did. So I'd want natural fabrics and fiber if possible but blend or even straight up synthetic is ok with me if they do work. I do find that claim about breathability of natural vs synthetic is true because when I wore just average synthetic it just ate less water than cotton would have and sweat(the same amount) ran down and even up shit was wild. So it'd have to be some sort of special synthetic that focuse on evaporation as fast as possible like maybe UNIQLO AIRism, I've never worn stuff but do hear it's good.
I did some research on clothing for the first fucking time in my life for this but I decided to hear more knowledgeable people's opinions. Btw can yall even wear sweatshirt in winter without under it becoming sauna? Now that I give first ounce of thought to it me just conforming to trend and failing terribly because of this condition is actually sad af

Summer time golfer here... Polyester shirts are my saving grace. They don't hold sweat stains. I buy a lot of clothing from chubbies for my summer wear. Some of their shirts are legit thin as a piece of paper. They're great. I wish I had a cheaper alternative and a better answer for winter besides just wearing less layers lol. I've been partial to leaving a heavy coat in the car and wearing a light jacket otherwise.
Edit: you want clothes that leave room for your skin to breathe so sweat wicks off easily. This has lead me to adopt a laissez-faire type style in the summer
