Dress, the history of fashion, is a production of iHeartRadio.

With over 7 billion people in the world, we all have one thing in common.

Every day we all get dressed.

Welcome to Dress, the history of fashion, a podcast that explores

the who, what, when, of why we wear.

We are fashion historians and your host, Cassidy Zachary.

And April Callahan. Dress listeners, a summer is nigh upon us in New York City.

It has been sweltering here as of late in the 90s.

It was 95 degrees here today, and that is over 33 Celsius for any of our listeners abroad.

And the other morning, I woke up just after sunrise,

cast a walk, Clementine, and it was already 86% humidity outside.

So it's, it's no joke.

You know, currently even the thinnest breeziest of summer

sundresses is barely cutting it.

And at the end of the day, which more often than not for me,

basically involves a subway ride home.

I am variably end up collapsing into my air-conditioned apartment,

hot sweaty mess, and immediately changing clothes.

I remember what it was like to live in New York.

We have the heat in New Mexico, but we do not have the humidity.

Yes. So what are you wearing to beat the heat these days?

So it's actually been a super, super hot summer here.
