In my youth I had an opportunity to wear a kilt to a formal Scottish event and I can tell you it was the most comfortable garment I have ever worn. That being said, I wouldn't want to wear one through the briers, snags, and slash I usually find myself in while carrying a gun.
I have a pair of well worn Filson pants made from their "Safari" cloth (tightly woven poplin) and they are cool and comfortable regardless of the temperature and they turned all but the toughest of thorns. Unfortunately, as is the case with most of the Filson models I like, they are no longer produced.
To answer your question, a pair of casual poplin pants, button down window pane shirt, a lightweight waist coat, and a straw fedora should cover most situations.
