Need advice as a big man in a hot area
So I went to an event the other day and the guy who runs it likes to take pictures and share them afterwards. Problem is, I looked awful in the picture, not in any way that was his fault. My chest (moobs?) and belly were very visible. I did not realize I looked like that, I did not like it. Anyway, I'd like to look a bit better. These things are fairly casual, I'd look out of place wearing my suit, but I wouldn't mind looking a little nicer (let's say button up shirt level of formality?). Some context about my body, I'm 6'3 and, let's say 300 lbs (I don't trust my scale anymore because there is no way I lost 30 lbs). So the solution is probably dark clothes, thick fabrics, and multiple layers, right? But I live in South Texas, it gets quite hot here. It's not even spring yet and it was 90° earlier. If I wear that, I'm sure I'd look great, but I'd also melt. I look up summer clothes, because winter here may as well be summer I guess, but also planning ahead, and the internet says light fabrics and light colors, which is probably what caused this problem in the first place. I'm not sure what to do because all the clothes I want to wear will melt me.
