Clothes for June
Short answer: June is bright, mild and often dry, but evenings can still be cool, especially by water. Choose light layers, breathable socks and clothes that cope with both resting in the grass and long evenings outdoors.
June is the month of light
In Denmark June is the month with the longest days, when the evening hardly wants to end. That gives plenty of chance to be outdoors, but also to be caught out when the temperature drops after sunset. Many people find that a day that began in sun and warmth ends with a cooler evening. It therefore helps to have a thin layer or a light jumper in your bag, even if the day feels like summer.
A jogging suit for the cool evenings
After a warm day a light jogging suit is pleasant to change into when the sun goes down, or when you sit by a bonfire on Midsummer Eve. See bamboo jogging suit for men. Choose a fit with room that does not feel too heavy. It works for everyday wear and for an evening in the garden, and it is easy to pack in a bag if you travel or stay overnight somewhere else.
Inner shorts under shorts and trousers
When it is warm and you walk a lot, skin can rub against skin or against fabric, and that can be uncomfortable. A thin layer under shorts or trousers can make the day more pleasant. See bamboo inner shorts. Choose a fit that sits softly without pulling and change them every day. If you have skin problems or lasting discomfort, talk to your doctor.
Footies and shoes without socks
In June many people wear light shoes, and here footies are a practical choice because they cannot be seen above the edge. See bamboo footies for men. Choose a pair that sits well around the heel and change them daily, because feet sweat more in the heat. Let your shoes dry and air between uses so that they do not develop a heavy smell, and wash the socks at 30 to 40 degrees.
Habits that make June easier
Drink plenty of water and seek shade when the sun is high. Use sun cream if you are out for many hours and bring a hat if there is no shade. Air your clothes when you get home and hang them up to dry if they have become damp. Bring an extra layer for the evening, especially if you will be by the water, where the air quickly turns cool when the sun disappears.
