Staying Cool in Seersucker

I’ve got a stubborn cold hanging on, so I wasn’t able to film the video I’d planned for this week. In its place, I’m sharing one I shot late last summer.

That day, it started pouring down rain smack in the middle of filming. Absolutely buckets! Then the sun came out, making me think it was over–until the rain flooded down again in blowing torrents.

Although the wind blew my hair all over the place, it did nothing to ease the high heat and humidity, and on days like that the last thing I want is to worry about how I look. The heat is stress enough! I was thankful my second layer was an unlined seersucker blazer. The cotton fabric is puckered, which keeps you cooler than other cotton fabrics. It’s also naturally a bit rumpled, and I like that, because it looks and moves in a kind of effortless, casual, I’m-supposed-to-be-this-way manner. I like that about linen, too.

It’s easy to go without an extra layer on days like this–and I often do down here. But there’s also something I enjoy about occasionally disregarding logic completely, and dressing the way I want in spite of the gosh darn heat.

If you celebrate the holidays, I hope yours is a happy and peaceful one.

Cheers!
