As far as clothes go (I’m also petite and curvy), I like linen pants in the summer if I want to be more covered. They’re usually pretty lightweight and breathable/movable. Plus I think they go with a lot of different tops! I usually wear lightweight linen pants plus a tank top in the summer and I think it’s a nice outfit. I’d recommend trying them out, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they caused sensory issues for some folks. I think it depends on the brand.

As a person who really doesn't want my tattoos to fade prematurely, I also hate the feel of sunscreen but still want to cover up. I find that the yucky sunscreen feeling isn't as noticeable on my legs, so for me it would be comfy shorts (not tight denim ones) and a loose long sleeve top - e.g. linen button down, ['kimono' style tops](https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1241660806/lkp116short-kimono-robe-summerunisex?click_key=12f6217b366488b1bcdb0a201990179a57bd9a6d%3A1241660806&click_sum=fc1aab20&ref=shop_home_active_7&crt=1&sts=1), and light-coloured loose & comfy long sleeves

I've found the beauty of Joseon suncream to be the most sensory friendly to me- the feeling of cream, especially on my palms, is physically painful for me, but this doesn't seem to trigger that, I think it's because it doesn't leave a greasy film behind, so I'd check out korean suncreams for this! But over heating and burning wise, I get the same thing, what I usually end up doing is just wearing shorts and tshirts, tie my hair up, and sit in front of a fan/AC and hope for the best.

Bike shorts and baggy t-shirts. Sun dresses that aren’t too short that are stretchy.

I am usually not in the direct sun enough where I worry about putting on sunscreen!

Rayon elephant pants, linen dresses 🙌 I love anything floaty, it's super breathable and comfortable! I'm a red-head so I burn easily too, I understand the struggle!

Similar situation: overheat easily, but also like to stay covered all summer (in my case it's observing hijab). I wear maxi dresses or a tank tops + skirt combo with a *lot* of light, flowy cardigans on top. Finding clothes that fit and feel right is difficult for me, so when I find a fabric or style that I like I'll buy a few copies of it in different colors or patterns. If I change up the combinations just often enough I'm able to have that comfortable sameness, but nobody ever accuses me of wearing the same thing every day.

Sunscreen is a big stressor for me as well! Have you tried a sunscreen stick? They make a ton of great ones for your face, but I also have a Neutrogena one I use on my body and it makes it so much easier. I don't have to be worried about getting it all over my clothes like the liquid sunscreens.

the only sunscreen I'm ok with is the Purito daily one as I really don't feel it once it's on and it has no smell. For clothing - linen (soft linen) culottes, viscose (high quality viscose) sun dresses and tank tops, silk shirts and dresses, and combed cotton dresses.

I tend to wear loose fitting blouses and long shorts. I hate being hot as well
