Gentlemen,

How would you dress when the mornings and evenings are kind of cold but mid-days are extremely hot? Would you wear a coat or blazer in the mornings/evenings and sweat during the day or keep it in your arm or go coatless, feel better midday but get cold in the morning/evening?

That is the question.

I'd have to go with my grandmother's advice on this: if you wear it you can always take it off, but if you don't you can't put it on.

I guess that carrying it would be considered also a way of wearing it.

Hi there

My advice would be to wear an unlined jacket if you have one, if not then any plain weave jacket will do as they tend to breath better in warmer climates. If you have a combination of the two then great. The ideal material for this would be Fresco as it comes in heavier weights so it will hold its shape, keep you warm when chilly and will breath if temperatures start to rise.
