I note the almost complete disappearance of the gent´s tailored jacket.
I still wear white cotton jackets which are perfect for the sub-tropics, and for cooler days I have a Harris tweed, woven in the far frozen north on looms made from shipwrecks and old bicycles.
It´s all about the pockets.
Where else would I keep the ball of garden twine, the bag of mint imperials, penknife, keys, library tickets and half a ham sandwich?
Thankfully, hats are still very popular here in Andalusia, you really need to keep the sun out of your eyes, and if, like me, you´re a bit thin on top that´s one place you really don´t want sunburned. I have amassed a fair collection with varying degrees of sobriety.
In extremis, even the ubiquitous baseball cap serves the purpose.
(But not with the tweed).
There are limits.

Wearing dress leather gloves with sandals would of course be a dreadful faux pas, and I´ve been in sandals all winter.
However, whenever I´m gardening in a spot which may conceal the dreaded Scolopendra, they are de rigueur.
