I ordered my winter cloak, but I made my summer cloak out of a thinner felted cloth. Linen is a really good material if you can get it, or a lighter wool. If you're not going to be super active, I'd get a bell-shaped one that circles your entire body when it's clasped. But if you're going to be moving around and need your arms a lot, make a brat (Irish cloak with multiple 'tails' that can be draped as you like) or a square cloak. They don't take very long to make, my summer one only cost me about 20-30 bucks to make and a few hours of my time. But buying them online can get very, very expensive because of how deprecated sewing is as a skill.

Of course! Happy sewing!

I keep myself in the shade, or use a piece of clothing to cover exposed areas. Also go out when the sun is less formidable.

They have UPF (how they measure SPF on fabric) clothes too. Haven't ever tried them myself though.

I wear cloaks and veils to help deal with my light sensitivity. I still need to mend both of mine, but they're durable enough and they'll keep the sun out of your eyes and off your back.
