I wear lighter and brighter colors in the summer. I sometimes wear black or other dark colors in the evening. Conversely, I wear white and bright shirts during the fall and winter. Red or green are pretty easy to get away with. Persimmon or aqua would look rather odd in a Northeastern winter, but I'd wear them if I wanted to.

Oh heck yeah. I live in one of the hottest parts of the country so I even go so far as to drive a lighter colored car with cloth, not leather interior.

Yes, it's too hot to wear black shirts during the summer. They draw too much heat to stay out too long.

One color I wear in cooler and warmer weather is Scarlet. It looks nice as a sweater, T-shirt, or tank. It’s also the official color of the university I went to, so I do have a little bit bias to the color .

I have noticed with fashion companies when it comes to reds, more pinkish reds tend to be more often sold in spring/summer, while darker reds tend to be sold more in fall/winter.

I only wear white shirts during the summer, but dont buy many white colors, they seem to show every stain like a magnet

no bright colors ever, grey, navy blue, sky blue, brown

black only during cool weather 75 degrees or colder

Oh yes!
Unfortunately I have been laid off from my job, hotel accountant. I have a slew of button downs (Express portofino shirts) that were primary work shirts. I have my summer button downs (floral Hawaiian prints and bright, bright colors) that I wore in the summer, and my winter ones (darker prints and colors).
Now I live in tshirts, leggings and shorts and all my button downs are collecting dust.

Trust me, same thing is happening here. I am working remotely and only on the rare occasion there is a video call, I wear a button up shirt.
I don’t miss driving in rush hour traffic on telegraph though. If you live in the Detroit area you know what that’s like .
