In New York, jeans in the summer are insanely uncomfortable during the
day. They're far too heavy. If I'm not going on business, I tend to
wear lightweight khakis, an untucked shirt, and sandals.

Sadly, if I have to go out to see a client, I have to wear full-grade
Brooks Brothers business armor: pinstripe suit, silk tie, etc.  In
winter, when the temperature is below freezing, that's fine, but in
the summer, say on an August day when it is 103F and 80% humidity, it
is a bit less than pleasant.

I can't imagine what wearing such an outfit would be like in parts of
India where 103F would be cool weather in summertime. I think I'd
collapse within minutes.
