Fabric: Friend? Foe?

Life is too short to wander around the world wearing the wrong fabric. Choose wrong and your day is over before it ever begins. The temperatures are climbing. There's really only one solution: Linen. Linen is luxurious, light, and first line of defense against the heat. People who wear linen always seem to be a step ahead of the rest of the crowd--and why not? They're about 10-degrees cooler than everyone else. Suggestion: Do yourself a favor... Throw out everything else in your closet except for the linen items until the temperature drops lower than Paris Hilton's morals.

100% cotton will do in a pinch, if you must, but don't be caught dead with anything polyester in your arsenal. Microfibre is barely OK, if you don't know any better. Grab your shades, your favorite linen pieces, and head out. It's doesn't really matter where you're headed, you have already arrived.
