Lightweight fabrics for Summer

Summer is a wonderful season, the sun is shining and it’s warm.  Wearing the right fabric can help you cool off, so here are 3 fabrics you should look out for when buying that summer wardrobe.

Cotton is one of the best natural fabrics to wear in summer. Cotton is a soft, breathable and lightweight fabric that draws heat away from the body, leaving you nice and cool. Cotton can become wrinkled easily so adding polyester to smooth the material.

Linen is considered the next best choice for summer fabric.  It is lightweight and breathable, like cotton.  Linen dries quickly and absorbs the moisture from your body leaving you cool and dry. Although Linen is a stiff material it does not stick to the skin.

Silk is a lightweight fabric that can help your body remain cool during the summer months.  Silk is not a fabric that you would automatically think of for summer as it can show patches of moisture if worn in high temperatures. Silk is ideal on a cooler summer evening.
