It’s Swelter-Weather Swag Week here at Blackbird Spyplane.
On Tuesday, we published Part 1 of our guide to “How to Dress When it’s Too Hot” — too rich & robust to contain in an email, so you can find it in full here:
As we put it in that post, “in the kinds of heatwaves we’re seeing more and more these days, it’s increasingly impossible to be comfortable while simultaneously Putting That S-- t On — at least not in the ways we currently conceive of comfort or putting that s--t on.”
We focused Part 1 on:
A celebration of dope shorts, new & vintage
A taxonomy of the 3 major shorts archetypes, with notes on how to style them
Sick shoes to rock with them
Tips for short~leg~sock~footwear harmony
And today?
We’re psyched to drop the ephiphanic Swelter-Weather Swag Report finale, crackling with insights & intel into:
How Shorts Agnostics can avoid wearing shorts
Heatwave headgear
Shirts with cooling properties and other swelter-ready slappers
Powerful hot-weather mindset changes and their pleasant physical effects
How air conditioning turned America into a soft, b-tchmade nation as far as our capacity for scorcher tolerance
The path toward a societal-level swelter-swag overhaul
