What Are The 4 Best Summer Fabrics? With the onset of summers and heatwaves in the country, it becomes important to have a close look at the summer fabric collection. The sticky, sweaty feeling is the worse during the summers. You should fill your wardrobe with lightweight summer fabrics. These fabrics keep you cool and comfortable. When choosing summer fabrics, the key factors are comfort, ease, and ventilation. Cool summer wear collection is made from smooth and absorbent fibers. From airy cotton fabrics and soft linen to light rayon fabrics, Benissimo has the most breathable and comfortable fabrics to wear during the summer season.
- Cotton
Cotton is a great fabric for the summer and hot temperatures. It’s not only inexpensive and widely available, but it also works well in hot weather. Cotton is a soft, lightweight, breathable fabric that absorbs sweat and allows heat to escape the body, allowing you to keep cool. Cotton garments are available in a wide range of styles and colours, so you may pick one to suit your needs. There are also a multitude of cotton blends available, each with its own set of characteristics. Cotton wrinkles easily, but a cotton polyester blend eliminates the need to iron. Cotton, on the other hand, has several drawbacks. If you are sweating a lot, cotton tends to soak up moisture so it could become heavy and wet, it may also show moisture stains by your armpits or collar if you wear it in light colors.
- Linen
Another great option for a breathable fabric to wear in hot weather is linen. It’s also lightweight and loosely woven, allowing heat to exit the body. It swiftly absorbs moisture and dries, keeping you cool and dry. It is stiff, but this also means that it does not adhere to your body. Linen wrinkles a lot, yet many people appreciate it and accept it as part of the style and appearance of linen. Benissimo provides high-quality linen washing for your household items such as bed sheets and pillowcases, as well as dry cleaning for your summer wardrobe.
- Rayon
Rayon is a man-made fabric blended from cotton, wood pulp, and other natural or synthetic fibers. It was invented as a cheaper alternative to silk (which also makes silk a good summer fabric). Rayon has very thin fibers, which allows it to breathe more than other fabrics and gives it a lightness that prevents it from sticking to a body in hot weather. Since it is so comfortable and cooling to wear, rayon is an especially good fabric for sportswear and summer dresses. While a great fabric for hot weather, rayon can shrink when washed in warm water. You can hand wash in cold water, but it is recommended to dry clean rayon to avoid shrinkage or damage. Benissimo provides dry cleaning and laundry delivery services to ensure your summer fabrics are handled with care. You can also check out our guide for some tips to avoid shrinkage.
- Denim/Chambray
Denim is made from very tightly woven cotton, so it is breathable material that absorbs sweat just like cotton. But, denim tends to be a heavier fabric, which is why some people prefer chambray for summer clothing. Chambray is often described as an imitation denim, so it has all of the same benefits as denim, but is a lot lighter in weight.
