Come summer, I start thinking a lot about my wardrobe because I want to be as cool as possible, even while covering. Natural fibers when I can get them, flowy shirts, light colored scarves and the like.
I think the designers at Shukr are smoking crack. Their new summer line includes all these shirts that are only a few cents short of being turtlenecks. Yikes. Anyone who has spent summers in 90+ degrees with 90% humidity knows you don’t do that. Its like a simple recipe for heat stroke. I’ll admit to not being a fashion plate, but I do complimented for dressing smart for heat (usually). My husband does not understand quite why I have to wear my scarves all open and hanging down in the summer — he likes the anchors on al-Manar and how their scarves are all wrapped around their heads… This gets a deadpan look and a comment on TV studio airconditioning. Hrmph.
Come on Shukr and give us a ladies a break, why don’t you? Keep that high victorian neck thing till winter when its helpful.
