Favorite warm weather binders/chest reduction hacks? (lemmy.one)

I've tried a bunch of binders over the years, and my current favorite is a gc2b tank binder, but it's a little clammy in hot weather. I've mostly been getting by with cotton sports bras at a band size two inches smaller than my actual size, with a square-cut, loose overshirt to disguise the lumpiness. That's good enough for a quick trip to the store, but I think have an excuse to buy a new one. (Never mind the... uh... several others in my closet, lol). Any recommendations?

I love those! I wear them open over a black T-shirt (for camouflage) most of the summer, partly for silhouette, partly because I like having my torso covered in giant flowers etc (my signature everyday style is best summarized as “dad jokes,” lol). And it definitely helps, but I find I sometimes get “ma’am”ed by people who only see me from the side in those, because I just have too much of a balcony going on for a shirt to drape on.
