I'm looking for budget-friendly clothing options that are suitable for landscaping, especially during the hot days. I currently have a pair of Carhartt steel pants, but they're too thick for the summer heat. I'm on the hunt for lighter pants that also have knee pad slots for weeding, as well as thin, breathable shirts. If anyone has suggestions for brands or websites that offer good quality clothing at reasonable prices, I'd really appreciate it!

In hot weather, I usually wear as little as possible to stay cool! I go for sleeveless tees from Amazon and Target athletic shorts. For footwear, I rotate between Hokas and Crocs. A fishing hat is my go-to for sun protection!
I've been wearing Stan Ray undyed painter pants or Dickies double knee painters—super affordable at about $25. They're breathable, have plenty of pockets, and the light fabric helps with keeping cool.
If there's a Sierra store near you, they have a good range of outdoor and work clothing at great prices—like the Ross for workwear!
You should check out Arborwear! Their prices are quite competitive, and since they're made in Ohio, they're designed for humid conditions, which is a plus.
I feel you on that! I also use a fishing hat with a neck cover. It's perfect for staying cool and protecting from the sun.
