Fashion History Nerdery, as applied to Sims. So, you know, we're still totally on topic!
Ah, see, now, summer and winter wear, I can help you with!
The lines of a summer outfit don't differ significantly from a winter outfit, but it'd definitely be made in lighter fabrics-- silk if it was affordable, linen, even summer-weight wool, which is in fact totally a thing. Fewer layers, of course; going around with your kirtle sleeves showing instead of pinning half-sleeves over them. If you look at the summer months of the Tres Riches Heures, you can see some of how the peasantry dressed in the summer (there are nobles in full houpplelandes in August, but I don't know if this is artistic license or linen summer-weight houpplelands). It's not Italy, but it's France, and you can see the men do strip for hot work in hot weather, and the falconer in August has rolled up his sleeves and down his hose. Bare feet abound.
Also, wearing lighter colors can help, even if somebody in the Tres Riches Heures is always wearing deep royal blue.
