forget cultural differences, and imagine yourself out there on a 35c day, and tell me which one is better.

but Arab clothing is literally designed for the Sahara desert
Sahara desert
I assume you meant Arabian desert?
Whoops, though North African clothing is very similar and those are definitely designed for the Sahara.
Flowing robes 100%, literally designed for being in the heat and sun. 35C isn’t even that bad, it’s hotter in Texas.
I was going to say, I'm pro-bikini but used to live in Texas and wore longer sleeves to keep the sun off my skin because it kept me cooler doing that than if I wore a short sleeve shirt.
If you think these people are stupid remember that there's people wearing suits and ties in summer
I've often thought that we can squarely blame Western Europe for the proliferation of suits being the normal business wear. It makes sense for them because have you visited the UK in summer? Or northern the northern half of the continent? It's downright cold sometimes. In the middle of summer. It makes sense for them to wear all that crap all the time. I do wish we weren't influenced so heavily by that to the point that we don't have any real alternatives when it comes to formal and business attire.
That's even more stupid.
