Oh man, you'd hate the Midwest. Aside from the obvious reasons, there's a baffling culture of white dudes who only wear shorts and hoodies no matter the temp outside.

Canadians do this too, and then like flip flops or slip ons with socks. It's a choice..

Eh, I wouldn't be concerned about something like that if I lived in the US, here tho having a hoodie and no pants is the telltale sign of some dude up to no good. Hell, the last time some dude tried stealing bikes from our apartment building and we caught him in the act he was actually wearing an orange hoodie and shorts lmao

I'm one of those strange folks, but I'm not wearing a hoodie in the summer lol. For me, it's a compromise between sensory issues and running warm. I hate wearing long pants, and I don't really mind the cold on my legs, so I wear a hoodie to stay warm and shorts to be comfortable. I'm not putting on a show for anyone, but lots of kids in the midwest absolutely do it for attention.
