00:00Think wearing less is the way to survive a heat wave? Not always, but the clothes you wear do make
00:04a big difference. First, skip the dark clothing. Black and other dark colors actually absorb the
00:09sun's energy and it makes you feel hotter. Instead, you want loose-fitting, lightweight clothing in
00:15colors like white and tan. This reflects the sun's energy and helps you feel cooler. And if you're
00:20going to be outside for an extended period, throw on a wide-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses
00:24too. And one more tip, if you're looking at new clothing, look for those that are moisture wicking
00:29and UPF. This adds sun protection in addition to help keep you cool.
