Sometimes I feel like going full on kilt, but those things are quite thick, all things considered. Might help to aerate the crown jewels, but I'm not too sure if the overall experience wouldn't still be on the warm side.

Kilts are generally made of wool, and wool has a bad reputation. Or maybe a warm one. Wool is actually really breathable and a great year-round fabric, better than cotton. I suppose how it’s made (how tight the weave, etc) could be a factor, but look into it sometime. Wool has a lot going for it as a very versatile material. I knit and the coolest things for me to wear on hot summer days are things I’ve knit from 100% wool. Mainly tank tops with loose stitches, so yes there’s more airflow, but the structure of wool fiber itself is just really breathable and nice. Naturally wicks sweat so it dries quickly, doesn’t tend to retain sweat smells and can have anti microbial properties, so rarely needs washing. I’m a big fan of wool lol
I like wool, no problem with that. Was just of the opinion that kilts are made from actual felt, and so dense that there's hardly any air movement coming through.

There was a summer long ago I regularly wore a Sari going to the bar. Do it for work would be a bit of a stretch.
I would miss my pockets though. Can I just wear basketball shorts everywhere?

I personally strongly prefer pants but I support those who don't want to wear them (as long as they're wearing a dress or something in public). At home though, you do you, whatever.
I'd need some kind of a tool belt under that dress to haul all my stuff
Oh my...
Would be nice to wear ball gowns all the time. Sadly it's not possible as a guy.
I don’t think anyone could get away with being that fancy all the time. We can dream!
I'd love to try, but my legs are hairy and I'd hate to walk around with my underwear exposed, it's like walking with your fly open but like worse. Idk how girls do it but i respect that.
Pants are the worst.
My shitty lifehack is tan colored gym shorts that look like khaki shorts. I can wear them with a polo and they're comfy as hell
