I've tried a bunch of binders over the years, and my current favorite is a gc2b tank binder, but it's a little clammy in hot weather. I've mostly been getting by with cotton sports bras at a band size two inches smaller than my actual size, with a square-cut, loose overshirt to disguise the lumpiness. That's good enough for a quick trip to the store, but I think have an excuse to buy a new one. (Never mind the... uh... several others in my closet, lol). Any recommendations?

Hawaiian or guayabera shirts are good summer counterparts to hoodies! You can wear them alone or unbuttoned over a muscle shirt. I still wear a binder under that but I can get away with one that's a size too big so there's more air circulation.

I love those! I wear them open over a black T-shirt (for camouflage) most of the summer, partly for silhouette, partly because I like having my torso covered in giant flowers etc (my signature everyday style is best summarized as “dad jokes,” lol). And it definitely helps, but I find I sometimes get “ma’am”ed by people who only see me from the side in those, because I just have too much of a balcony going on for a shirt to drape on.
