Few mosquitos in my neck of the woods, but I remember from childhood that raising a hand above your head was more effective than clothing choices. Raising a hand with a cigarette helped even more (I think the operating theory in my family was that they’re drawn to lower oxygen levels as it suggests a breathing being’s presence), but generally that was frowned upon while I was growing up.
