How should a 2-month-old be dressed in summer?
⚡ Short answer: In summer, dress your 2-month-old one layer more than what feels comfortable for a nearby adult, and check the nape of the neck to prevent overheating or chilling.

How should a 2-month-old be dressed in summer? My mother-in-law says one thing, and I've read something different.

This confusion is very familiar; you're not alone. In summer heat with a 2-month-old, everyone has a different opinion.
The most reliable rule: dress your baby one layer more than what feels comfortable for a nearby adult. So if you're comfortable at home in a thin t-shirt, dress your baby in a thin short-sleeved bodysuit plus one more thin layer (like lightweight shorts or a lightweight romper). Check the nape of the neck — if it's warm and sweaty, remove a layer; if it's cool, add a layer.
In extreme heat (35°C+), a thin cotton bodysuit alone may be enough. Your baby's hands and feet usually feel cool, which is normal — don't let that fool you into thinking they're chilly like you'd feel.
With air conditioning, if it's set to 24-25°C, follow the same rule. In the car, always use a sunshade even for short trips.
You can check and adjust throughout the day.
