A suit for the heat

Shadow Priya first. She gives advice in short, confident pieces, so stress the key words: "humid", "main meeting", "breathable", "tailor". Then take Kenji's part. His "Wonderful" is dry, not happy; drop your voice on it so it sounds like a joke.

1. KenjiPriya, got a minute? I'm flying to Mumbai on Monday, and I have a clothes question.
2. PriyaSure. In May, right? It's going to be hot and very humid.
3. KenjiThat's the problem. I was planning to take my gray wool suit.
4. PriyaThe wool one? You'll melt before you get out of the taxi.
5. KenjiBut the client is a big bank. Isn't everything business formal?
6. PriyaFor the main meeting, yes. Wear the jacket and tie for that one.
7. KenjiAnd the other three days?
8. PriyaMostly the factory site and the team office. A light shirt and good pants are fine there.
9. KenjiNo jacket at all?
10. PriyaCarry a thin one. The offices are freezing inside because of the air conditioning.
11. KenjiSo it's hot outside and cold inside. Wonderful.
12. PriyaExactly. If you can, get a cotton or linen suit. Something breathable.
13. KenjiI don't own one. Is it worth buying one for a single trip?
14. PriyaBuy it in Mumbai. There's a tailor near the hotel who can make one in two days.
15. KenjiReally? That sounds better than anything I'd find here in Tokyo.
16. PriyaAnd it's cheaper. But don't overdo it at dinner. A tie there looks a bit stiff.
17. KenjiOne tie for the bank, a thin jacket, and a new suit from Mumbai. Got it.
