Materials and fabrics for summer - which ones will be best to wear in hot weather?
You'll learn about the properties of the best fabrics for hot weather. We'll also tell you which materials are truly fashionable this season.
Fashionable and natural fabrics for summer
Summer is the perfect time to make informed purchasing decisions when it comes to fabrics. Our choices about what to wear this time of year can be a real relief. We should take care of our skin and protect it from the sun's harsh rays. Therefore, it's best to choose natural fabrics like linen, cotton, and silk. They provide good air circulation and don't irritate the skin. Synthetic materials are also a good choice. This group of materials is made from natural substances, primarily wood cellulose. Examples include viscose, modal, and Tencel.
One of this summer's biggest trends is linen. Even major fashion houses have embraced it, dominating the runways of brands like Jacquemus, Fendi, and Max Mara. High-street retailers, which increasingly value eco-friendly solutions, are also increasingly choosing it. So you no longer have to worry about linen wrinkling, as it's on trend, and its beneficial properties outweigh its drawbacks.
What else should we pay attention to in summer? It may seem trivial, but it's better to choose lighter colors that don't attract the sun. White, blue, or beige are ideal. It's also worth considering the cut. Oversized cuts of all kinds are fantastic, as they don't cling to the body and provide a sense of comfort and freedom of movement.
---What materials will be most suitable for summer?
Below is a list of the five best materials for summer that have thermoregulatory properties.
- Flax
There's probably no better summer fabric than linen. This material is made from natural yarn and has an open weave, making it exceptionally breathable. On hot days, it gives you a pleasant cooling sensation. Linen absorbs and evaporates moisture, leaving you feeling fresh all day long. Another advantage of linen is undoubtedly its durability. With each wash and ironing, it becomes softer and more pleasant to the touch. It is resistant to friction and stretching and does not pill. It's also important to note that linen is highly ecological and biodegradable. It is found in our latitude and does not require a long supply chain. Every part of the linen plant is used, so virtually no waste is generated. Growing linen fertilizes the soil, and the material itself is biodegradable.
- Cotton
Cotton is another material ideal for summer. It's a popular material often used in clothing production. It's of plant origin and is obtained from the seeds of the cotton plant. Cotton is highly hygroscopic. Clothes made from this material absorb moisture perfectly, wicking it away from the skin. Cotton has high tensile strength and is resistant to high temperatures during ironing and washing. Cotton is also an excellent material for allergy sufferers, as it doesn't irritate the skin. Another advantage of cotton is that it doesn't absorb odors, which is especially useful in summer.
- Tencel
Another top summer fabric is Tencel, made from wood cellulose (eucalyptus wood). Its production is eco-friendly and saves water and energy. Crucially, Tencel itself is a completely biodegradable fabric, meaning its fibers are 100% biodegradable. As a natural material, it breathes perfectly, absorbs moisture, and prevents bacterial growth. Interestingly, its fibers absorb 50% more moisture than cotton! It's ideal for those with sensitive skin, as its exceptional smoothness doesn't irritate delicate skin. Furthermore, Tencel is chemical-free. Its fibers are durable—it doesn't shrink or stretch in water.
- Bamboo
Bamboo fibers are characterized by high durability, breathability, antibacterial properties, and odor-reducing properties. Bamboo clothing has thermoregulatory properties – it will keep you warm in winter and pleasantly cool in summer. It allows your skin to breathe while blocking UV rays! This makes it the perfect material for summer. Bamboo clothing is soft and delicate, and it retains its properties after washing. Furthermore, products made from bamboo fiber are 100% biodegradable.
- Viscose
One of the best summer fabrics is the ever-popular viscose. This material is made from wood pulp. It's lightweight and comfortable to wear—perfect for shirts, blouses, and summer dresses. Viscose is highly breathable and airy, absorbing moisture well, making it perfect for hot weather.
