Spring and Summer months are great aren’t they
We get to wear lighter clothes, patterned fabrics, different shapes, different shoes styles
It’s great
Remember to keep your summer fabrics light, though
Don’t wear heavy fabrics, manmade fabrics, fabrics that don’t breathe
But keep your fabrics natural
cotton, linen, lightweight wool
In previous centuries there were lots of names in use for fabrics
that we barely use today
cottons
Batiste, brocade, chintz, Egyptian cotton, Pima, Supima, Sea Island, muslin
These days, the garment label will say 100% cotton
that’s all you’ll get
Take the time to search out fabrics that feel good on your skin
that breathe and feel light
You know that make you feel great and alive
We live in one of the richest times in history
Don’t be fobbed off with sub-par fabrics
I’ll say that now for the summer
But I’ll say it in the winter too
Wear fabrics that remind you of when you were a child
Wear fabrics that make you feel alive
like you were the last time you felt truly truly at one with the world
Clothes shouldn’t alienate us from our world experience
They should draw us back into it
Clothes you wear today could be heritage pieces
for the children of tomorrow
Choose well and choose wisely
