...easiest way out is to get a pair of dark glasses. But another sensible solution is to ignore these new fashions, and (with only one exception) to stick with the somewhat less elegant, out-moded, and wearable clothes still offered. A basic warm-weather ward-robe should include probably one good dark two-piece suit (worsted or Dacron is your best bet); a seersucker or, if you will, cord suit, a pair of dark slacks, possibly a pair of white ducks, a couple of odd jackets, and plenty of lightweight sports shirts.

But after a year of drudgery, Wilson felt he had learned enough about antiques to brazen it out at Sotheby's. For his first auction in 1938, he practiced all weekend by "auctioning" off every stick of their furniture to his young wife and their baby's nurse.
