Friday Challenge: Dog Days of Summer (July 02, 17)

[Caustic Man]

After some discussion with several members, it was decided to bring back the Friday Challenge, just in time to have some Summer fun.

This week's challenge will be broad and inclusive to get us going again. Your task is to post your best Summer fit. It can be tailored clothing or casual, since some of us (not me) abhor jackets in warm weather. Let's see those linens, cottons, frescos, and madras. Bright colors are welcome of course. Anything that captures the essence of your Summer thus far (@heldentenor you must wear a shirt)!

Entries must be from the week starting Friday the 23rd. I'll probably close the submissions and post a poll this Sunday, depending on how many participants we have. As usual, the winner will get to host next week's challenge.

Without further delay, here are your contestants.
