In the book, she explains how the various weather elements can cause thermal discomfort, health issues and even death. After presenting the typical weather of Earth's climate regions, she reveals what is best to wear in these regions. She uses color diagrams and figures as well as many -easy-to-relate to examples from everyday experiences to illustrate the relationships and concepts for everyone interested in fashion, and comfortable wear. Finally, she points out the needs for future developments, and research directions for the next generation of engineers in the clothing industry.
