Summering Sadness

A tee for those who understand that summer, despite its relentless marketing, is primarily a season of geographic displacement and social obligation. You'll be wearing it to the Hamptons, to Martha's Vineyard, to wherever it is your family has summered since 1987, and you'll be miserable in a very specific, climate-controlled way.

The sadness, of course, is not the weather. It's the realization that you are forty-three years old and still coordinating your calendar around your mother's calendar. It's the tennis club. It's the forced merriment at the club luncheon. It's understanding, with perfect clarity, that nothing has changed and nothing will change.

Wear it to breakfast. Wear it to your therapist's summer office. Wear it under your Brunello blazer like the small cry for help it is.

Unisex heavyweight tee. Runs true to size.
