What Do Goths Wear When It's Too Hot...

[Fierce Critter]

I may be the odd-chick-out, but I actually go kinda airy-fairy hippy.

I lean toward babydoll tops or empire waist blouses made of gauzy, natural fabrics. Often patterned.

And - when I can find them in my size - "made in India" blouses usually found next to racks of tie-dye muumuus in stores cloyingly reeking of patchouli.

When the first shorts-worthy weather hits, I dump my hated jeans and put on jean shorts, and refuse to take them off until the cold weather returns in earnest come October or so.

I had to give up my Minnetonka ankle moccasins because the bottoms wore through and they don't make that design anymore. So I'm actually wearing fancy flip-flops in cute styles and colors. Unless I have a lot of walking to do - then I pull out the Dunlop golf sandals I got on clearance at Dunhams (I don't golf, but these mutherfuckers are COMFORTABLE).

It's all kinda gross.

What do you wear when it's just too damned hot for velvet, leather & boots?

[n0Mad]

A kilt. For the top either something sleeveless, a short sleeve button down unbuttoned, or just plain shirtless.

Well, for clubwear anyway. For just around town stuff, either jeans and a t-shirt or even some nice shorts and a polo. I'm rarely ever goth around town. Usually just relaxed or even slightly prep.

[creatureofthenyte]

black shorts, black tshirt or tank top, black sox, and black shoes.

I drink lots of cold beverages like green tea, or limeade or lemon tea.

I do get bored with all black sometimes and wear a coloured top.

I don't really dress full-on goth unless I'm going out partying... this is a VERY small town & it's rare for me to go anywhere without running into a past or present student, parent, etc. I usually have a weird combination of goth/biker/hippie chick going which is pretty adaptable to temperature, level of formality, etc. In very hot weather I go more hippie chick/gypsy queen... lots of flowy batik or tie dye dresses or sarongs. Either that or African... but after 3 years of having to wear African every day at my last school, I'm kind'a over it for a while.

[Nienna]

Summer is all about long flowy skirts and tank tops, or sundresses for me.

[Head Wreck]

light and loose tbh. black gets ditched.

i dont like heat. tepid is warm for me. just noticed now that i've been sitting on the couch for 1 hr and the dog sat on the other end for 10 mins, the dogs side is warmer.

[Kit Kat P]

shorts and wife beaters mostly

sun dresses when the mood strikes

lots of jeans and t-shirts outfits

Wow ~ I'm high class

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

I wear the same thing I wear when it's cold. Black slacks of a light and airy material and some kind of button down shirt in a darker color.. usually burgandy or black... sometimes grey... I do have a few greems too...

I've never been anywhere that the weather affected what I was going to wear... We have things called heaters and air conditioners.

So you're saying that if you were going to work outside for a few hours, temperature wouldn't effect what you wore? Yer nuts...

Weather always affects what I wear. Both weight and length go up or down depending on temperture. put on a lot when it's cold and I'm damn near naked when it's hot out. (Except for work)

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Thats not what I said at all.. I never mentioned working outside.. or inside for that matter. I have a pair of jeans for yard work.. and thats the only time I wear them.

I'm just busting your chops for fun...

[DJ Nocker]

I dress the same way all year, I guess you just get used to wheather changes when you have lived in Michigan your whole life....

Exactly right.. i usually dont change my style of clothing..i wear long skirts a lot when its very very warm out..other than that I wear my normal garb

[Hellion]

Pants, tank top and my Harley leather vest,and some chains

[Homicidalheathen]

PJ's and I am totally serious. But they have pirates on them. Arrr!

[LuluVox]

I've never really thought about it (or thought of myself as a goth, actually), but I guess I just wear less in general. Most knee socks and all tights go on hiatus, and I suppose I wear my shorter skirts more, and a great deal of tank tops. This year I bought my first pair of capris, and I like them for warmer weather (for now -- I go through phases with pants; sometimes they seem like a good idea, and sometimes I don't wear them for a year). I haven't owned a pair of shorts in I can't even tell you how long; 10 years or so.

Also, I tend to chop my hair pretty short in the summer.

In public?

[freydis]

Flowy skirts and tanks or other short sleeve shirts, or capris and a sarcastic shirt.

[phee]

make up?

[hellequin]

short shorts, miniskirts, spaghetti strap shirts, lite make up.

[martyrthisthat]

If it's super hot, I'll wear a black wife beater, mini-skirt, bandana and some sort of slip-on shoe. But generally, I'm just in jeans and a band tee.

Believe it or not, I'm still wearing my boots in 90-degree weather. I'm just inside most of the time!

I steer towards jean pants, because I hate shorts for some reason. I still were pants, even in the middle of summer, but I'm more of the "Keep my torso cooled off" type of person. I'm normally wearing a tank top with pants, as often as I deem necessary.

I ditch the fishnets, keeping my arms as bare as possible. No collars, no fitted womans' button ups. I don men's button-ups mostly for evenings when it's a little chilly for a tank top but way too warm for a coat or sweater.

For airy clothing, I don my "raver pants" because they are loose fitting and wide-legged.

Occasionally, bare foot.

[Head Wreck]

my legs are whiter than paper. they aint sen sunlight since i remember

[flucky ada]

considering i went to ozzfest in '02 when it was 110 outside wearing all black, i have a high tolerance for heat. but the summer can wear on me a little. so i stick to whatever t-shirt i find around my room, sway more for shorts during the day then switch up to pants for the night life, and generally ditch the pounds of studs i throw on my arms during that day as well. i love my boots and bandanna too much to not wear them all the time so they are a constant. other than that it's just a matter of going with the flow of how i feel on any given day. don't really think about what i'm wearing unless it's going to the club or something.
