| Africa climate |
Fashion and climate are connected than it might seem. We’ve seen some groundbreaking initiatives from Levi Strauss, Vivienne Westwood and the ITC’s work in Africa and Fairtrade and Fairmined gold, but one most vital issue that the industry is yet to courageously tackle is climate change. Furthermore alot of natural fibres such as cotton and wool depend on agriculture and with climate change it makes it much more challenging to keep up with. The level of rainfall and water levels has a great impact on crops such as cotton. The whole glob is affected by the strong hottness and strong coldness, majority of people are getting more confused as to what to wear daily.
Your most pressing style questions answered by Mr Poter
How do I keep warm in my suit in the winter, if I don't want to resort to a coat?
A
They might be the least exciting item in a man's wardrobe, but an undershirt is an easy, cheap and inconspicuous first step. After that, consider a sleeveless cashmere cardigan, or try a three-piece suit next time. And do look out for suits in heavier fabrics. As well as being warmer they inevitably look better, hang better and last longer.
Q
Having lost enough hair to need to shave what remains, I find my head gets cold - what kind of hat can I wear without embarrassing myself?
A
We favour a tweed flat cap for the country or at the weekend, a fedora or trilby in the town in winter, and a panama in the summer.
Q
Is there a good alternative to wearing a skiing jacket when it's really cold?
A
A certain scepticism about artificial fibres is healthy when choosing clothes. Sometimes they are a necessary evil, but normally there is a better natural alternative. If the weather calls for a down jacket, try a sophisticated one in navy wool or grey flannel.
Q
I'm going on a one-week beach holiday. What do I need to pack?
A
In addition to underwear, socks and what you wear to travel: seven lightweight polo shirts, three pairs of swimming shorts, three or four linen shirts, a pair of chinos, a jacket for the evening, espadrilles or sandals for the beach, loafers for the restaurant and a panama hat. Depending on the pretentions of the hotel, a tie might also be required.
It can be argued that climate change is affecting the glob in more than one way, more particularly in what to wear for different seasons because it is not what it used to be. Critically thinking on a fashion point of view do you think climate change is heading for a fashion disaster?
It can be, because the weather changes now and then and you become confused, you dont know what to wear, and you just pick anything & wear it.
ReplyDeleteokay i must admit that when i first saw your title i was a bit sceptical but this article showcases your belief in fashion and doing good.salute
ReplyDeleteYes people the glob is facing a climate change and we should consider our dressing to limit illness and the disadvantage of making our bodies uneasy.
ReplyDeleteYES CLIMATE CHANGE DOES AFFECT FASHION BECAUSE ITS ON AND OFF AND YOU NEVA KNOW WHAT TO WEAR ITS JUST UNPREDICTABLE.IT SOMETIMES CONFUSES POEPLE ON WHAT TO WEAR OR NOT.
ReplyDeleteWe dress according to what the weather is on that particular day and it does become a disaster when you really dont know what to wear.
ReplyDeleteAdding to the last 2 comments i think also watching the weather forecast would help in minimising the confusion and the disaster.
