Watching some telly before I get a little rowdy tonight, and one of my favourite costuming tropes is when a character out of their depth goes to the tropics/a hot place (it doesnt matter what they're there for) they must have a huge hiking pack paired with some sort of plaid shirt and singlet, for men you can throw in a henley, for women it must be a skin tight spaghetti strap singlet.
Bonus points for inappropriate footwear, khaki cargo shorts (cargo booty shorts of the ladies), some sort of head wrap, they gain a collection of "handcrafted" bracelets during their tropical/hot place adventure.
and they sit on logs, drink from streams and touch everything ๐ฒ
My fave movie about this Arachnophobia.
This show is about doctors in a "jungle", so them touching everything is extra hilarious! Especially since in the first episode one of the conventionally pretty doctors goes "oh I specialise in infectious diseases".
Edit - a word. I can assure you the tv doctors are not juggling.
Tropics = parasites ๐ฒ
