So my problem is an old one for me.....
I love the warm weather, sun is out everyone in a better mood etc.. problem is I'm a winter clothes person, trousers/ jeans not shorts, shirts/jumpers not tshirts etc..
What's a guy to do? It's not I look crap I just don't feel comfortable. Am I alone in this?  |

Well I find the weather now is a bit difficult to gauge...
Primarily the sun says come out it's summer...
But the air temp hasn't changed dramtically from spring...
I think this is the weather that gives you sneaky little colds by killing you in to a false sense of summer lol |

I'm fine in this kind of weather, lighter jumper or even a t jacket does well when the evenings get a little cooler  |

"Oh I totally relate to this!!
So what do you do? I end up wearing what I feel comfortable in and slowly cook  "
I am the same, but i have found you can get lightweight shirts and jeans which does help alot.
Other choice is a bucket of water and walk about wet.

"What about some light chinos and a thin short sleeve shirt, still what you like but cool and comfortable "
I absolutely detest short sleeve shirts lol makes me feel middle aged trying to hard it's mainly shirts with sleeves rolled back so forearms are on show
(And don't anyone dare say it!!!!!!!)  |

So you make long sleeves into short ones haha!!
Short sleeves arent middle age, i think of short sleeves as what primary school kids wear! If they are a slim fit shirt and quite modern they look nice!
I just stick on a maxi dress and be damned what anyone thinks |

My problem is that I am the person who kills good weather, about this time every year I start thinking about getting my shorts out and can guarantee the moment I do the weather will turn rubbish again.
I sympathise with your what to wear issue though, I'm really fair and burn easily so try and cover up with light tops and lighter weight trousers. |

Almost the complete opposite. I LOVE the warmer weather and am quite comfortable in t-shirts or short sleeved shirts. Shorts, yup, no problem. Or jeans. Not really that bothered about whether I look cool or hip or not. I feel comfortable and just love being out in this type of weather.

"I went to buy some shorts today. I ended up with some posh socks with flowers on, a Joseph Joseph colander and an overpriced sandalwood and ylang ylang candle.
Summer clothing fail. "
Absolutely with you on this one  |

I'm fair, I burn easy and I don't like my arms so would rather have them covered. Plus I walk a lot and my feet get too hot in boots. And I need a jacket in the mornings at the moment when it's chillier to walk to work and then have to carry the damned thing home because it's too hot to wear on the walk back. But the sunshine is nice. And the colour everywhere is beautiful. |

There is a massive difference between short sleeves and nicely turned up sleeves |

My face goes red in the sun and I just look like an apoplectic beetroot. Horrible. |

I have a little jacket from next that works great for cool mornings but i have a cute leather backpack to put it in instead of a handbag in summer works well and is practical! |

Stupid as it sounds I don't feel dressed enough. I do a lot of fitness, gym, run etc so I'm happy to wear them then I guess in my head there has to be a cross over point |
