× To be honest, I'm a big fan of wearing T-shirts.
✓ To be honest, I'm a big fan of wearing T-shirts.
No change needed; sentence is grammatical. Present participle 'wearing' correctly used as a gerund after 'fan of'.
× Big T-shirts is conducive to keep my body cool all the time in summertime, especially in Guangzhou City, which is the city I live in nowadays.
✓ Big T-shirts are conducive to keeping my body cool all the time in summertime, especially in Guangzhou City, where I live now.
Subject-verb agreement: 'Big T-shirts' is plural so use 'are' not 'is'. 'Conducive to' should be followed by a gerund ('keeping'), not an infinitive. 'Which is the city I live in nowadays' is wordy; use 'where I live now' for natural English.
× So, uh, wearing T-shirts can be really relaxing and amusing to do.
✓ So, wearing T-shirts can be really relaxing and fun.
Avoid using 'to do' after adjectives here; use adjective 'fun' rather than 'amusing to do'. 'Wearing T-shirts' is a gerund phrase and works as the subject; simplification improves fluency.
× Well, if I was compelled to decide I would pick to work comfortable and decent clothes rather than wearing smart clothes, I'd be swearing.
✓ Well, if I were compelled to decide, I would choose comfortable and decent clothes rather than smart clothes; I'd be sure of that.
Use subjunctive 'were' for hypothetical condition. 'Pick to work comfortable and decent clothes' is incorrect: use 'choose comfortable and decent clothes' or 'choose to wear comfortable and decent clothes'. 'I'd be swearing' is wrong in meaning; likely intended 'I'd be sure' or 'I'd definitely do that'.
× Comfortable and casual clothes can, uh, can boost my mood and simply be myself.
✓ Comfortable and casual clothes can boost my mood and help me be myself.
Redundant 'can, uh, can' removed. Use 'help me be myself' rather than 'simply be myself' to show clothes enable the behavior. No definite article issue initially, but corrected for clarity and verb usage.
× It's also beneficial to show my personality.
✓ It's also beneficial for showing my personality.
Both 'to show' and 'for showing' are acceptable; changed to 'for showing' to parallel previous gerund usage. This is stylistic rather than strictly grammatical.
× Yes I do. I'm really into wearing T-shirts.
✓ Yes, I am. I'm really into wearing T-shirts.
Added comma and expanded contraction for formality; original sentence is grammatically fine with 'into' + gerund.
× T-shirts is one of my cup of tea.
✓ T-shirts are one of my cups of tea.
Subject-verb agreement: 'T-shirts' (plural) requires 'are'. Idiom is 'one of my cups of tea' meaning a preferred thing; use plural 'cups' when followed by 'one of'.
× Wearing T-shirts can, uh, keep in my body dry and cool rather than humid.
✓ Wearing T-shirts can keep my body dry and cool rather than humid.
Remove incorrect preposition 'in' after 'keep'. Use direct object 'my body'. Also 'rather than humid' contrasts temperature/humidity awkwardly but is acceptable; better: 'rather than hot and humid'.
× Wearing T-shirts is always conducive to, uh, bring joy and happiness all the time.
✓ Wearing T-shirts is always conducive to bringing joy and happiness.
After 'conducive to' use a gerund: 'bringing', not infinitive 'bring'. Remove redundant 'all the time' when 'always' is used.
× No, really, I don't always spend a lot of time juicing clothes, uh, because as long as I'm gonna hunt out with my friends to play with each other, uh, I will choose clothes between hanging out and it just takes me about 3 minutes.
✓ No, really, I don't spend a lot of time choosing clothes, because when I'm going out with my friends to hang out, I just pick what to wear and it only takes me about three minutes.
Multiple errors: 'juicing clothes' should be 'choosing clothes' (wrong verb). Avoid informal 'gonna' and incorrect 'hunt out' and 'play with each other'—use 'going out' and 'hang out'. 'Choose clothes between hanging out' is incorrect; use 'pick what to wear'. Spell out numbers under 10 in formal speech: 'three'.
× It's not long.
✓ It doesn't take long.
'It's not long' is informal and ambiguous; 'It doesn't take long' more clearly refers to time required.
× Yes I do. I definitely would separate styles of clothes on weekdays and weekends because on weekdays I have to work a school uniform to show my determination to do some basic research on weekdays, but at the weekends I can simply be myself.
✓ Yes, I do. I definitely wear different styles on weekdays and weekends because on weekdays I have to wear a school uniform, but on weekends I can simply be myself.
'Separate styles of clothes' is awkward; use 'wear different styles'. 'Have to work a school uniform' is wrong verb—use 'wear a school uniform'. Removed repeated 'on weekdays'. 'At the weekends' changed to 'on weekends' for consistency; both are acceptable.
× Well, I'm really into wearing blue T-shirts all the time, because in my opinion, blue is always my lucky and fortunate clothes.
✓ Well, I'm really into wearing blue T-shirts all the time, because in my opinion, blue is my lucky color.
'Lucky and fortunate clothes' is incorrect collocation. Use 'lucky color' to describe the color. 'Clothes' is plural and doesn't fit with 'color'.
× But the consequence of luckiness and the psychological effects.
✓ I feel it brings me luck and has psychological effects.
Original is a sentence fragment lacking a verb. Provide a full sentence: 'I feel it brings me luck and has psychological effects.' This explains the intended meaning.
× So I wore blue clothes all the time.
✓ So I wear blue clothes all the time.
The surrounding context uses present habitual tense ('I'm really into wearing... all the time'), so use present simple 'wear' for habitual action rather than past 'wore'.
