Jeans seem too hot.
Khakis are somewhat better but does anyone know of a kind of pants that would be good for hot weather?

Thanks

Khakis are good, or chinos, basically anything light colored and loose and made of cotton.

IMO it's more important to keep your feet and torso cool than your legs but maybe that's just me, I don't mind wearing jeans if I'm wearing short socks and a comfortable shirt. Being able to wear sandals indoors helps though not having the option of flip flops or real sandals (sans socks) sucks.

very light weight cotton pants. there are even light cotton jeans.

just dont for the love of pogostick jumping jesus wear sandals and help perpetuate the shorts and sandals neckbeard foreign stereotype.

These are quite good, although my school complained that they were too colorful when I wore them last summer.

Helps the air circulate in the humid summer months though!

Light weight hiking pants. They're becoming business casual now that AC is so rarely used.

Do you think it's too much if I wear Huggies??!! That ought to keep me nice and cool this summer. (But, so far, this month seems cooler than a typical May. I remember having my air con way more at home during this time. But, this year, hardly at all.)

Linen. Not exactly a budget option, but you'd be cool. And look cool!

Shorts and sneakers, I wear.

Look into getting a pair of seersucker pants. When I lived in New Orleans all the professional working men would wear seersucker suits on the hottest and muggiest days of the year (and trust me, it gets pretty bad down there). It's a very lightweight cotton fabric that has been woven loosely, which creates a crimping effect so it never lies completely flat on your skin. Air flows through it and it allows your body heat to radiate away.

It's kind of old school, but classy as hell. I can pretty much assure you nobody in Korea has ever seen a seersucker suit and you might start a trend.


Point is, you have to try pretty hard to be uncomfortable in seersucker.
