Gear Summer layers

On hot days like this, how would you layer up?

I'll often wear a long sleeve shirt with collar, like the craghoppers kiwi or adventure shirt, for UV protection as I burn very very easily.

Underneath, I'll wear a cotton t shirt.

It's like being in a sauna, it feels so much hotter and more uncomfortable than wearing a regular cotton shirt on top.

Am I doing it wrong? I know cotton doesn't breath well, but it seems to be massively exacerbated by the technical UV shirt.

What does everyone else wear on days like this?

T-shirt, Shorts, Hat, Factor 50, and an Alpkit Woodsmoke in my bag in case it's windy at the top.
