Why do you wear less clothes in February than in August?

It means that the weather turns from cold to hot in February, from hot to cold in August, and from hot to cold, which is changeable. Coupled with physical differences, people naturally wear different clothes.

Generally speaking, winter goes to spring, which is a transitional stage from cold to hot. Although the weather is getting warmer, the climate often changes, sometimes warm and sometimes cold. It is often sunny after the sun comes out, and it will be cold when it rains.

Because people are used to wearing more clothes in winter, if they take off too much in spring, they will not adapt to climate change and get sick easily. Therefore, in the early spring, you should deliberately cover a little and slowly reduce your clothes.

Source and basis of statement

There is an old saying in China, "Dressing in disorder in February and August", which means that in February and August of the lunar calendar, people's clothes and dressing are prone to "disorderly collocation", while in the solar calendar, these two periods are also the time when winter and spring change seasons and summer and autumn change seasons.

Among the "disorderly wearing" ethnic groups, some follow the body feeling, while others advocate "covering spring and freezing autumn". The latter emphasizes that people's physique will become stronger and stronger after experiencing "autumn freezing", but the expert's view is that "freezing in spring and autumn" will vary from person to person. Autumn freezing is to improve people's tolerance to the gradually cold environment, but if the individual's physique is weak, it is best not to freeze.
