Every week The Post and Courier will give a few pointers of what’s in and what’s out, and today we are letting you know what’s on trend for beating the summer heat, if possible. In : An inflatable pool for the backyard or porch (Bonus: portable outdoor misters) Out : Paying for a pool membership (In this economy?) In : Taking in a matinee at Terrace Theater (catch the latest indie film, avoid the hottest part of the day) Out : Fighting for shade at outdoor markets and events (even if it’s 85 degrees, it feels like 100 degrees) In : Make your own booze pops or drunken watermelon to stay cool and catch a buzz (homemade ice cubes with cooling herbs like mint are a plus) Out : Drinking spritzers at your favorite outdoor bar only to have them diminish into condensation (I repeat, in this economy?) In : Wearing flowing materials and colors that deflect heat (linen linen linen) Out : Wearing white jeans (Denim in this weather? Enough said) This week’s pollAre handheld fans fashion forward?
