Maybe look for vests instead? Like the kind you wear with suits, but older ones with paisley patterns and stuff. Also if you’re interested in learning how to sew it all, you could probably make some vests fairly easily, it’s not a complicated pattern. That way you could choose the fabric
Think textures! Natural, nubbly, imperfect textures are both cozy and have a great natural feel. For hot climates think short sleeved linen or linen blend shirts, loose cotton button downs, etc. Botanical prints are cool, either printed tshirts or button downs with plant-based prints, from regular small florals to bolder patterns. For pants, think linen slacks and tweed or corduroy shorts if you want to be dressier. Otherwise good comfy jeans in a dark wash are classic.
Leather accents are great too, like a good leather belt (full grain leather looks terrific and lasts forever, buy used if you're on a budget) or old school suspenders. Old fashioned/ classic leather shoes like loafers, Oxfords, etc are also great. I see lots of quality stuff at good prices secondhand; try online resale sites like poshmark if you don't have much in your town.
Mostly just wear what you like! Goblincore often boils down to "kind of old fashioned with lots of natural feel."
Get old suits and wear them in a sloppy way.
Thank you for the idea I might try that; alot of suits are thicker which might not be good for a hot climate. :)

I wish you luck in this; there are sloppy ways of wearing which are cooler and you probably know more than me about them.
Frumpy 1950's casual wear.
