Will the fig leaf ever come back in style?

What with global warming and other environmental concerns, it just might. It would be cool and airy and it's an easily biodegradable renewable resource. You could just pick a leaf to wear for the day and throw it on the compost pile at night.



On the other hand, a leaf doesn't provide much protection from the elements, especially sun. It's also not durable enough to wear for sports or physical labor. I would think you'd itch pretty bad too because it wouldn't absorb perspiration and it's not very soft against your skin.



Maybe the bioengineers can design a fig plant with leaves more suitable for wearing.
