Designers’ most cited UConn Men’s Basketball Holiday Team Caricature shirt inspiration was summer, which might sound basic but is anything but. With climate change setting record temperatures, and the world seemingly on fire (who can forget the apocalyptic darkening of smoke-filled skies?), the carefree summers of yore are starting to feel like Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer” song, a cherished memory. As if to combat the heat, designers built a sort of air-con functionality into their garments, opting for mesh, eyelet, lace, and other openwork techniques to offer ventilation. In contrast to these breezy looks were others that were slashed. And for those getting their hands as “dirty” as their jeans, by shredding and cutting, there are a good number of protective, and decorative, aprons.
