Upper body nudity - a standard look with the Zanga - is only seen in combination with hard physical labor or exercise programs.

Especially the older members of the expedition, Professor Challenger and Professor Summerlee, are taking great pains in being dressed properly. Challenger is often wearing a full suit including vest, thus showing clearly that true fashion sense can easily overcome minor obstacles like heat and humidity.

Hats are a favorite among the explorers, with the exception of Ned Malone, who so far has not been seen wearing a hat. Why Malone does not wear a hat is unclear. He certainly looks very good wearing one, as was confirmed by Lord John Roxton, when he recounted his adventures in the Old West, where he had to fight against an evil alter ego of Malone.

Lord Roxton to Veronica: "Neddy-Boy sure looked good in black!"
