Abstract |
For three different sites, observations of people's clothing outdoors in summertime were made, and observations of the thermal microclimate were made. The clothing was found to be most strongly related to the air temperature, and the responses of men, women, boys and girls were found to be fairly similar. The effects of sunshine, wind and humidity were also analysed, but the results differed from site to site. There was a strong tendency for the clothing to remain unchanged in spite of changes in microclimate. Some implications for the design of the outdoor environment are discussed. |
