I was browsing recently and got so aggravated with all the cute sleeveless tops - that were thick 100% poly and lined! No breathability factor there at all. Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressingshopping#post-1514321 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 22:14:54 +0000 Peri 1514321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean. It is ridiculous all the polyester they are trying to sell us in the summer. Who is in charge of these things?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressingshopping#post-1514294 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 21:28:26 +0000 Aida 1514294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on the difficulty of finding non-synthetic summer wear! I don't mind that it's more expensive, it's just tough to find in the first place. Particularly in fashion-forward cuts if you can't go designer. I do wish online retailers would let you search/sort by fabric, that would sooooo helpful. Sounds like you've got a good base of breathable items, that's great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressingshopping#post-1514241 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 19:38:19 +0000 unfrumped 1514241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can relate to that, may do a separate post on what is really a summer wardrobe, anyway? It so depends.<br />I have to do the air-conditioning thing at work, but then the hot car.<br />I hunt for heavier cotton or linen knits, not easy to find, that can look&nbsp;more polished&nbsp;and be warm-ish in A/C, but not as sweaty when making the transition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressingshopping#post-1514238 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 19:20:23 +0000 always trying 1514238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am done with summer shopping.&nbsp; yesterday I found some 100% cotton skimmer pants and a pair of khaki linen/cotton just below knee pants that are sort of loose without being baggy. Ordered a pair of pewter sandals that will come next week, and counted out my 100% cotton t's and the rest of the cotton stuff in closet and drawers.&nbsp; So I can get by until fall with no more summer purchases.&nbsp; Last summer was one of our hottest on record, and was hot until November.&nbsp; I think I am prepared for this year.&nbsp; Fashion all seems to be geared to those who, in hot weather, go from air conditioned house to air conditioned car to air conditioned workplace, AC gym, AC resteurants, etc. without having to be in outdoor heat.&nbsp; This is why finding reasonably priced sportswear and other clothing without 2% spandex, polyester, and those other stretchy stuff, are so hard to find.&nbsp; If one is not outdoors or without AC then the clothing that doesn't breathe, sticks like glue, skinnies that feel like seran wrap on legs, doesn't matter.&nbsp; Being too old to bear a lot of skin doesn't help either.&nbsp; No wonder old people die in heat waves, sitting around encased in polyester.&nbsp; </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>ac </p>
