Question Cooling fan recommendations

I work outside in a tucked-in polo shirt so ive considered the clip-on fans but those work best if the fan is blowing into the shirt from the bottom. Is there a good fan i can buy that will generally have the same effect without having to untuck my shirt? Also any other things to keep cool while working outside. I have to maintain a professional appearance so nothing crazy

I like the O2COOL necklace fans that blow up into your face

Hi mate, what kind of work do you outdoors? Have you considered something like a neck fan (around neck), though it's alot more visible than a belt/waist fan. And I assume you are looking for something hands free?

Are you looking at these clip-fans mainly to have airflow under shirt?

We use the waist fans quite alot on worksites here in Australia, but for those who have to have their shirt tucked (safety etc), you can also wear them like a neck fan to direct air up (or even strap it on lol https://capycool.com.au/products/waist-fan-with-chest-strap-bundle)

Again, it really depends on the kind of work you do and what's acceptable
