You know those weird weather changes where it gets cold, then hot, then cold again, and you regret your choices all day long? What do you wear?

A lightweight long-sleeved shirt is the perfect solution. It’s heavy enough to get you through the first cold and light enough to keep you from sweating all day long, preventing you from cooling down. You may want to choose long-sleeve options made of breathable and moisture-wicking fabrics.

Body temperature varies from person to person. If you’re running warm, choose lighter weight cotton, linen, silk or merino wool. If it’s always chilly but you need protection from the heat, opt for thick cotton T-shirts, bamboo hoodies, terry sweaters, and linen blends. All of these fabrics are moisture-wicking, but be aware of how thick and heavy they look and feel.

These lightweight options are great for your workouts, your morning commute, your outdoor adventures, and even when you’re lounging around the house with the windows open.
